davos Lyrics – I Cani

davos Lyrics by I Cani is a new italian song by I Cani. The song is released on I Cani’s official YouTube channel, written by Niccolò Contessa, produced by Niccolò Contessa & Andrea Suriani, and from the album Post mortem, offering listeners a sharp, satirical, and reflective experience.

In davos, Niccolò Contessa constructs a mosaic of modern existence, painting fragmented portraits of ideologies, contradictions, and escapism. The song weaves together global references and deeply personal observations, evoking a chaotic world in which individuals cling to beliefs or distractions in an effort to make sense of it all. Through repetition and contrast, Contessa exposes the absurdity of societal norms, collective dissonance, and the illusion of order. The tone moves between irony and existential introspection, culminating in a surreal image of transcendence and awakening.

davos Lyrics

[Strofa 1]
Qualcuno prende
E si dà fuoco
E qualcuno lo spegnerà, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Qualcuno gira
Di porta in porta
E vende Lotta Comunista
Qualcuno prega
Verso La Mecca
Qualcuno in after la domenica
Qualcuno parte
Per le Maldive
E qualcuno per il Donbass, ah-ah

[Ritornello]
E ognuno, ognuno, ognuno danza
Così non va, così non va, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
E ognuno, ognuno, ognuno dice:
“Così si fa, così si fa”, ah-ah

[Strofa 2]
Qualcuno arriva
Sulla montagna
E qualcun altro se ne va, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Oggi il dottore
Tossiva sangue
Chissà lui quanto durerà, ah-ah
Quel progressista
Rompe i coglioni
E l’ingegnere da che parte sta? Ah-ah
Va di nascosto
Dal gesuita
E pure da Madame Chauchat, ah-ah

[Ritornello]
E ognuno, ognuno, ognuno danza
Così non va, così non va, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
E ognuno, ognuno, ognuno dice:
“Così si fa, così si fa”, ah-ah

[Bridge]
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

[Outro]
Si è addormentato
Sotto la neve
Credeva di essere nell’aldilà
Ha visto tutto
Quello che è stato
E un pizzico di eternità, ah-ah

davos Lyrics Meaning

[Strofa 1]
Niccolò introduces a whirlwind of characters, each embodying divergent choices and worldviews. From acts of desperation to spiritual devotion, from political activism to leisure tourism, he presents a society fractured by its infinite directions. The mention of places like La Mecca, the Donbass, and the Maldives situates personal decisions within global turmoil. This section underscores the fragmentation of meaning in the modern world, where everyone seems to chase vastly different truths.

[Ritornello]
The refrain plays with contradictions: “ognuno danza” while declaring “così non va” and “così si fa.” Contessa reveals the hypocrisy of public discourse, where everyone criticizes the world yet insists their way is correct. The dance becomes a metaphor for the passive performance of living, where movement substitutes for action and noise replaces clarity. It’s a sharp commentary on social conformity masked as individuality.

[Strofa 2]
This verse dives deeper into disillusionment and ambiguity. The image of a doctor coughing blood evokes mortality, juxtaposed with an idealist “progressista” who irritates rather than inspires. The engineer—traditionally a figure of logic—is rendered politically ambivalent, seeking counsel from both a Jesuit and the enigmatic Madame Chauchat (a reference to The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, symbolizing illness, intellect, and detachment). Contessa threads through disorientation and quiet crisis, where faith, ideology, and reason intermingle without resolution.

[Ritornello]
Reprising the earlier chorus, this repetition strengthens the message: a chaotic collective clings to opinions and patterns, even as things clearly fall apart. The tone remains ironic yet resigned, with the dual refrain continuing to mock the binary thinking prevalent in society.

[Bridge]
The wordless “ah-ah” bridge works as a sonic representation of emotional overload or detachment. With meaning suspended, it acts like a breathless pause or breakdown—perhaps reflecting an inability to express anything coherent amidst the noise.

[Outro]
In the closing lines, Contessa introduces a dreamlike, almost mythic image: someone falls asleep in the snow, thinking they’ve reached the afterlife. In that moment, they glimpse both everything that has been and a fragment of eternity. It’s a profound and poetic conclusion, hinting at transcendence through surrender. This brief encounter with the infinite contrasts sharply with the confusion of the previous verses, suggesting that clarity—however fleeting—may emerge from stillness, solitude, or near-death perception.
