‘schegge’: A Glimpse into Poi’s World
Following his previous work, “men against insects,” “Legs” presents a series of observations and dreamlike imagery. Lyrics such as, “I turn with your finger on the scotch / legs in the box / we are looking for the sea in the shells / I would like to know how to speak in all languages,” create a vivid and personal atmosphere.
Poi describes the core of the album with the phrase, “In this great explosion we are the splinters,” suggesting a theme of finding balance and living in the present amidst chaos.
According to Poi, “Legs” was the final track written for “Schegge,” encapsulating the emotions and reflections experienced during the album’s creation. The album reflects a period of significant change for the artist,including a return to his native Rome.
