Con(torta)

Contorted (With Cake)

I don’t want shoulder blades, I want wings1

To cut through the sky like pizza

I want to save the world like superheroes

But I’m just a mortal like all of you

I’ve never been an adult

I stopped at ten years old

And I’m not afraid to say that my best friends

Are my traumas

I cut my hair alone with my own hands

I put makeup on my face like Indians do

It’s true that at the dinner table I’m never composed

At times I’m more man than woman

I don’t like standing out, mom, don’t worry anymore

I promise I won’t be late, I’ll do the laundry, I’ll turn off the TV

It’s not the moment to die, maybe I’ll wait for tomorrow

But I go up and down those stairs

Because I kinda like the difficulty, a curiosity

How do people always prefer the elevator

Me, I never know where to go

And sorry if I ask you again, but how could you

Prefer the fear of heights to the courage to jump

I’m simple and a bit contorted

Like the cake that grandma makes on Sunday2

I’m the dance halls, this is a cemetery

Wanted: father who wants to be one for real

I’m an animal rights activist and then I eat meat

Because I’m weak with pleasures like sex and art

I’m somebody if you’re the ones to talk about it

But I go up and down those stairs

Because I kinda like the difficulty, a curiosity

How do people always prefer the elevator

Me, I never know where to go

And sorry if I ask you again, but how could you

Prefer the fear of heights to the courage to jump

And you, hold me like that anyway

And you, hold me like that forever

But I go up and down those stairs

Because I kinda like the difficulty, a curiosity

How do people always prefer the elevator

Me, I never know where to go

And sorry if I ask you again, but how could you

Prefer the fear of heights to the courage to jump

1. The song’s title is a play on “contorta” (contorted) and “con torta” (with cake).
2. She is contorted (“contorta”) like the cake (“torta”)

You're right. The official lyrics posted by Amici had some obvious mistakes that you fixed. Thank you.
