In Corpore Sano

Intro
A sick mind in a healthy body

Verse 1
What could be the secret of Meghan Markle’s healthy hair?
What could it be?
What could be the secret of Meghan Markle’s healthy hair?
What could it be? (What could it be?)

I think it’s all about deep hydration
They say, our skin and hair show it all
For example, deep undereye
Could signal liver trouble
The pesky spots around the lips, point to an enlarged spleen
Enlarged spleen is not good, it’s not pretty

Pre-chorus
And the artist must be healthy

Chorus
Be healthy, be healthy, be healthy
B-b-b be healthy
Be healthy, be healthy, be healthy
She must be, she must be, she must be

Verse 2
We’re incredibly lucky
That there’s such a thing as the autonomic nervous system
No need to control my heart beats
The heart beats, the heart beats on its own

Bright colours of a summer day
My skirt of mine, on my body,
My skirt, the dog and I
The two of us are taking a walk
We’re counting the steps
The skirt flows around my leg
We are taking a walk, and that’s it

And it doesn’t need to get any better than this
The heart beats by itself
I surrender my trust
Let it beat by itself
I surrender my trust
Let it beat, let me breathe
God, give me health, God, give me health, God, give me health
(God, grant us health)
Since there is no medical insurance for me

Verse 3
How will they be able to keep track of me?
(In the name of health)
To care for me? (In the name of health)
The artist is invisible (In the name of health)
You can’t see me, it’s magic (In the name of health)

Pre-chorus
The artist could be healthy

Chorus
Be healthy, be healthy, be healthy
B-b-b be healthy
Be healthy, be healthy, be healthy
She can be, she can be, she can be

Outro
In a healthy body, in a healthy body*
In a healthy body, in a healthy body
In a healthy body, in a healthy body
The body is healthy
So what shall we do now?*

A sick mind in a healthy body
A sad soul in a healthy body
A desperate mind in a healthy body
A terrified mind in a healthy body
So what shall we do now?

The song "In Corpore Sano" plays with the idea of what it means to be healthy. It uses the well-known Latin phrase “In corpore sano” (a healthy body and a healthy mind) but challenges this idea by pointing out that modern society often focuses too much on physical health while neglecting mental or emotional well-being.

In simple terms, the song reflects on how society talks about health, but sometimes ignores what really makes someone feel good - like emotional balance or inner peace. The song asks, “What is health?” and uses irony to show that there’s more to being well than just looking good on the outside or following the latest health trends.

  • Repeated to highlight the ideal of health, but also questioning if we truly live by it.

  • The line "in a healthy body" refers to the idealized concept of health that society often emphasizes, where physical well-being is considered paramount.

    However, in the context of the song, this phrase also critiques how this focus on external health can overshadow mental and emotional well-being, leading to a feeling of emptiness.

    It's part of a broader exploration of the disconnection between physical appearance and true wellness, as the song questions what it really means to be healthy in today's society.

  • The phrase "Šta ćemo sad?" ("What shall we do now?") reflects a sense of uncertainty and frustration. It captures the existential questioning of what comes next when societal expectations, such as those around health and appearance, feel hollow or unattainable. Repeated throughout the song, it highlights a struggle with the pressures of superficial success and challenges the listener to reflect on deeper, more meaningful choices. It's an expression of confusion in a world obsessed with external ideals, prompting both the artist and the audience to consider what's truly important.

  • A question that makes us think about whether we really understand what health is.

  • A comment about how we care a lot about physical cleanliness, but not enough about mental or emotional health.
