INSETTI by Stefano Attuario

With “Insetti”, Attuario continues his exploration of the contradictions of modern society, addressing themes such as alienation, oppression and the search for freedom. The song is characterized by a sharp sound and evocative lyrics, which take inspiration from the Kafkaesque atmospheres of “The Metamorphosis”, suggesting a painful and inevitable transformation.

The influence of Franz Kafka and William S. Burroughs in the new album

The symbolism of insects
In the new album “Babele”, Franz Kafka is a constant presence, especially in the single “Insetti”. Being considered insects symbolizes a return to a lower state in a world that perceives us as insignificant creatures. This condition represents the exclusion from the system, which occurs when we begin to understand and distinguish ourselves from the crowd.

Alienation and loneliness
The concept of being seen as insects extends to family relationships and society, leading to a feeling of isolation and misunderstanding. This type of alienation is a central theme in the works of Kafka and Burroughs, where characters struggle against an oppressive and indifferent world.

Inner freedom
Despite exclusion and loneliness, a profound affirmation of freedom emerges in the lyrics of “Insetti” with the expression “io so respiro”. This passage represents a claim for inner space and the ability to find meaning even in a hostile context. It is an act of personal rebellion, a way of affirming that, despite everything, one still has control over one’s inner existence.

The album “Babele” promises to be a work full of meaning, characterized by provocative lyrics and incisive sounds. The confusion and disorder of contemporary society are translated into music and words, giving life to an artistic path that challenges conventions and raises questions about the reality that surrounds us.
