Esta canción de Måneskin es una poderosa balada de rock que explora la dolorosa sensación de distancia en una relación. El cantante se siente desconectado de la persona que ama, repitiendo una y otra vez: "Perché ti sento lontana, lontana da me" (Porque te siento lejana, lejana de mí). Es un grito desesperado por la conexión perdida, lleno de ansiedad y tristeza. Las imágenes son intensas: habla de beber lágrimas amargas y de querer perderse en el mar para escapar del dolor.

La letra sugiere que la relación se rompió porque uno de ellos no pudo aceptar el cambio, describiendo el error de la otra persona como "amarmi come se domani il mondo fosse uguale a com'era ieri" (amarme como si mañana el mundo fuera igual a como era ayer). Hay una lucha interna entre querer creer que el amor todavía es real y la abrumadora sensación de que todo se está desmoronando. El cantante incluso le pide a una figura llamada Marlena que lo lleve a casa, mostrando una profunda vulnerabilidad y miedo a enfrentar el frío invierno solo.

Le Parole Lontane shows the dramatic, desperate side of Italian rock band Måneskin. The singer feels an unbearable distance growing between him and a companion named Marlena. He screams into the void because she feels too far away, repeating the core ache of the track: "Perché ti sento lontana da me" ("Because I feel you far away from me"). Throughout the lyrics, physical senses blur with emotional panic. He swallows bitter tears ("Bevo le lacrime amare"), begs to get lost in sea water, and imagines burning every page of paper that mentions her name. There is a great, contradictory line where he imagines two people sharing grief without making a sound: "Canteremo insieme ma restando muti" ("We will sing together, but staying silent").

Things get truly desperate in the second verse when he pleads for shelter: "Marlena portami a casa che mi spaventa l'inverno" ("Marlena take me home because winter scares me"). His legs are giving out from the cold, and he claims that without her, "Non vedo neanche più a un metro" ("I can't even see one meter ahead"). Marlena functions here as a lifeline or a muse whose smile keeps him anchored. By the end, he resolves to hide himself away inside sentences she will never hear ("Ti nasconderò dentro frasi che non sentirai"), turning his unspoken words into the very air she breathes.

Ready to pack your bags and run? In "L'altra Dimensione", Italian rock band Måneskin decides to leave behind boring everyday reality. The singer is fed up with dull, stressed-out routines, complaining: "Son stanco delle vostre facce grigie / Voglio un mondo rosa pieno di colore" ("I'm tired of your grey faces / I want a pink world full of color"). He mocks people trying to buy affection with credit cards ("Voi comprate amore con le carte Visa" ["You buy love with Visa cards"]) and decides to escape into another dimension where passion heals every cut and scar ("non c'è taglio non c'è cicatrice / Che questa passione non possa curare").

To break free, he turns to a recurring figure in the band's universe: Marlena. Rather than staying stuck in the daily grind, he begs her to take him dancing ("Marlena sì portami a ballare" / "portami a bailar") and teach him how to fight ("Marlena insegnami a lottare"). He claims he rose straight out of the dust like a phoenix ("dalla polvere come Fenice / Son risorto") simply because he packed his bags, kissed Marlena, and joined "Il ballo della vita" ("The dance of life"). It is an energetic, high-tempo celebration of trading a dull existence for total creative freedom.

Vasco Rossi’s “Manifesto Futurista Della Nuova Umanità” is a raw, rocking pep-talk for anyone who has ever questioned why they are here. The narrator admits that the simplest option would have been never to be born at all, yet life crashes in like a tidal wave and keeps reinventing itself each day. Between fiery guitar riffs, he begs forgiveness for losing faith in a higher power and confesses how hard it is to navigate a single lifetime without divine instructions.

But the song is not a surrender, it is a proclamation. Rossi pivots from despair to defiance, striking a bargain with his own emotions: he will let them run free, and in return they will not destroy him. This pact becomes the cornerstone of a new humanity—one that owns its doubts, embraces its mistakes, and crafts meaning from the inside out. The message is clear and electrifying: even when faith falters and problems crowd the road, choosing to live authentically is the ultimate act of rebellion and hope.

Siamo Qui paints a lively portrait of how we often hide our true selves behind possessions, habits and excuses. Vasco Rossi calls us out with playful yet piercing questions: “Ma com'è? Ma cos'è? Ma dov'è?” He sees us as “poor heroes,” lost in worries, protecting fragile egos, and defending things that are really out of our control. The refrain reminds us that when we feel cornered, we either laugh or cry, dodge or disguise—anything to avoid showing who we really are.

The song is both a mirror and a challenge. Rossi invites listeners to drop the masks, stop confusing what we own with who we are, and bravely answer life instead of hiding from it. With its driving rock beat and repeating questions, the track urges us to accept vulnerability, quit pretending and step into authenticity with eyes wide open.

İtalyan rock grubu Måneskin'in bu şarkısında derin bir kopuş ve çaresizlik hissi var. Şarkı, "Come l'aria mi respirerai" (Beni hava gibi soluyacaksın) sözleriyle başlıyor ve dinleyiciyi hemen içine çekiyor. Sözlerde anlatılan kişi, karşısındakini gizli cümlelerin ardına saklarken bir yandan da yaklaşan kıştan, titreyen bacaklarından ve üşümekten yakınıyor: "Ma adesso portami a casa che mi spaventa l'inverno" (Ama şimdi beni eve götür çünkü kış beni korkutuyor). Şarkının kalbinde ise sürekli tekrarlanan o çığlık var: "Perché ti sento lontana, lontana da me" (Çünkü seni uzak hissediyorum, benden çok uzakta).

Şarkıda geçen "Marlena" ismi ise grubun evreninde özel bir yere sahip; bu isim bir kadından ziyade onların yaratıcılık, özgürlük ve sanat anlayışını temsil eden hayali bir ilham perisi. Vokalist, "Marlena portami a casa che il tuo sorriso è stupendo" (Marlena beni eve götür, gülüşün harika) diyerek ona sığınıyor ama aynı zamanda onu kaybederse önünü bile göremeyeceğini söylüyor. Deniz suyunda kaybolmak, acı gözyaşları içmek ve sessiz kalarak şarkı söylemek gibi güçlü ifadelerle dolu, İtalyanca öğrenirken hissini hemen yakalayacağın çok etkileyici bir parça!

Italian rock band Måneskin pulls zero punches in "MARK CHAPMAN", named straight after the man who stalked and murdered John Lennon. The track tackles the terrifying reality of toxic obsession and celebrity stalking from the inside out. The narrator describes a stalker hiding in plain sight: "Nascosto fra la gente, senza un'identità" ("Hidden among the people, without an identity"), chanting false devotion with "Dice che mi ama ma lo so che mente" ("He says he loves me but I know he's lying"). It is paranoid, fast-paced, and hits right in the chest.

What makes the song so creepy is how it pins down the stalker's extreme entitlement. In the chorus, they chant "Si muove a piede libero, vestito come un incubo / Vuole tu sia in pericolo, però ti chiama idolo" ("He walks around free, dressed like a nightmare / He wants you to be in danger, but calls you an idol"). Here, the Italian idiom "a piede libero" literally means "on free foot," which means being out on the loose or not behind bars. The tension peaks when simple rejection turns violent: "E puoi trovarlo sotto casa con un coltello in mano perché non hai risposto a un suo messaggio" ("And you can find him under your house with a knife in hand because you didn't reply to his text"). The song exposes someone who doesn't just want to copy their hero—"non gli interessa assomigliarti vuole essere te" ("he doesn't care about looking like you, he wants to be you").

From the very first line, Italian rock band Måneskin come swinging at everyone who talks behind their back. The narrator walks down the street with muddy clothes and cigarette-stained fingers ("Giallo di siga' fra le dita" [Yellow cigarette stains between the fingers]), facing an uphill road and training hard to make a big leap. There is pure swagger here. They step up to tell the audience to hush ("Vi conviene stare zitti e buoni" [You'd better shut up and behave]) and even drop the classic Italian superstition "toccarsi i coglioni" (literally grabbing your crotch to ward off bad luck) before kicking locked doors wide open.

The core of the track is the unapologetic refusal to fit in: "Sono fuori di testa, ma diverso da loro" (I'm out of my mind, but different from them). While the narrator apologizes to their mom for staying out late, they refuse to apologize to the gossiping crowd ("Parla la gente purtroppo / Parla, non sa di che cosa parla" [Unfortunately people talk, they talk and don't know what they're talking about]). Channeling the myth of Icarus with wax wings on their back ("Con ali in cera alla schiena"), the song challenges anyone trying to hold them down: if you want to stop this climb, you will have to cut off their head.

Italian rock band Måneskin brings pure dramatic energy to "Torna A Casa" (Come Back Home), pleading with an elusive muse named Marlena. The narrator starts out in bad shape, describing himself as rescued from the dirt when he was "coperto di spine / Coi morsi di mille serpenti" (covered in thorns / with the bites of a thousand snakes). To frame their bond as an impossible fairytale escape, he nods straight to classic storytelling: "Alice, le sue meraviglie e il cappellaio matto" (Alice, her wonders, and the Mad Hatter). He imagines growing old together until "il tempo porterà sui tuoi capelli il bianco" (time will bring white to your hair), holding onto scraps of real life like a single blank sheet of paper and half a cigarette.

Everything hinges on the desperate chorus: "Quindi Marlena torna a casa / Che il freddo qua si fa sentire" (So Marlena come home / Because the cold is really felt here). The phrase "si fa sentire" literally means "makes itself heard," which is how Italian speakers say the weather is biting or intense. Without this person, he worries he will simply vanish ("ho paura di sparire"). He climbs past human limits with blood on his hands and trades his old quiet hesitation to become the storm ("ieri ero quiete perché oggi sarò la tempesta"), showing just how far he will go to pull his muse back from the cold.

Måneskin opens this track by swinging right out of the gate at their haters: "Stronzi vi vedo, siete bianchi in faccia" ("Jerks, I see you, your faces are pale"). It is blunt, angry, and funny in how direct it gets. The singer calls out the mockers who pointed fingers instead of helping, using their nasty laughs as fuel to find the straight path. He compares himself to Icarus, but flips the myth upside down: "E adesso guarda mentre volo in alto / E tocco il sole ma non cado mica io" ("And now watch as I fly high / And I touch the sun, but I don't fall at all"). Even when facing total burnout, the fire inside consumes him only so he can rise again from his own ashes like a phoenix.

The real heart of the track, though, is deeply personal grit. He vows to break his back, hands, legs, and arms just to lift the burden off his exhausted mother: "Per non vedere più mia madre stanca / Ridarle indietro il dono della vita" ("To no longer see my mother tired / To give her back the gift of life"). Even when God had his back turned while he fell, a simple gust of wind and a glance at the sky kept him moving. By the climax, his legs are giving out in the middle of nowhere, but "il cuore mi batte ancora" ("my heart is still beating"). It is a song about refusing to stay down, purely out of pride and family love.

Italian rock band Måneskin brings pure swagger in "Morirò Da Re", which translates directly to "I will die as a king." From the first verse, the singer urges a companion to pack a suitcase, pull on some fishnets, and leap headfirst into an uphill climb: "Pronta che non sarà facile, tutta in salita" [Ready, because it won't be easy, it's all uphill]. It is a wild invitation to defy fear, take risks, and shine in a gray world. Even if things get tough and they end up hanging onto a speeding train by their fingertips ("Resteremo appesi al treno solo con le dita"), having this partner by their side makes them feel invincible.

There is a great Italian idiom in the second verse: "cadere in piedi" [to land on your feet], which the singer uses to remind their partner that they can handle big falls ("tu puoi cadere in piedi anche dall'alto"). Then enters Marlena, a recurring muse figure in Måneskin's songs. The lyrics urge Marlena to strip away inhibitions ("Spogliati nera"), travel light ("viaggia leggera"), and share her beauty with the crowd. With Marlena or their lover by their side, fighting through exhaustion and facing the pack like fire feels worth it because, in the end, they go out like royalty.

Måneskin'in "Torna A Casa" şarkısı, dinleyiciyi İtalyan sokaklarında rüzgarlı bir yürüyüşe çıkarıyor. Şarkı, geride bırakılan her şeye rağmen, zor zamanlarda bile yanımızda olan özel birine duyulan derin özlemi ve minnettarlığı anlatıyor. Şarkıcı, dikenlerle kaplı ve yılanlar tarafından ısırılmış haldeyken bile onu yerden kaldıran, başkalarının kötü sözlerine kulak asmayan bu kişiyi, yani Marlena'yı anlatıyor. Onunla birlikte "Alice, harikaları ve çılgın şapkacı" gibi bir yolculuğa çıkmaya ikna olmuş.

Şarkının kalbinde, Marlena'ya duyulan bir çağrı var: "Marlena torna a casa" [Marlena eve dön]. Çünkü onsuz hayatın mükemmel olamayacağını düşünüyor ve soğukta kaybolmaktan korkuyor. Şarkıcı, Marlena'dan önce nasıl yalnız ve yaralı olduğunu, ancak onunla birlikte kendini kutsanmış hissettiğini anlatıyor. Bu şarkı, bir kurtuluş hikayesi gibi; Marlena'nın gelişiyle hayatın karanlıktan aydınlığa çıktığını ve artık kurban olmak yerine kendi kaderini çizen biri olduğunu gösteriyor.

Tu Sei Lei is Ligabue’s love-letter to that one special person who never stops taking his breath away. Even after “all these years,” the singer keeps catching himself staring wide-eyed at her quirks, her flaws, the way she dreams, and the way her very presence perfumes the room. The song celebrates the thrill of discovering that the person beside you is still full of surprises, still capable of making your heart race like the first time.

At its core, the track is a rock ballad about recognition and destiny. Among “so many people,” she is unmistakably the one: the woman who has saved him “from many different deaths,” guided him with honesty, and proven that the universe really does have a plan when it brings two souls back together. By repeating the refrain “Tu sei lei,” Ligabue turns a simple declaration into an anthem of enduring devotion—an invitation to believe that true love not only survives the years, it keeps on shining brighter.

This song is a powerful rock duet about two people finding strength and salvation in each other. It's a conversation between two lovers, one singing in Italian and the other in English, who have both been through some tough times. Eros Ramazzotti sings about overcoming personal struggles, describing how he has walked through "solitudini e deserti aridi" (solitudes and arid deserts) but is now ready to face his fears for his partner. He promises to live "Al ritmo della tua passione" (To the rhythm of your passion), suggesting her love gives his life a new energy.

Anastacia responds with total devotion. She sees their love as something that doesn't need a logical explanation: "There is no reason, there's no rhyme: it's crystal clear." For her, he is the one who makes the darkness disappear and completes her. She calls him "the wind that's underneath my wings" and "the piece that makes me whole." Together, they are a force, described beautifully as "Lampi nel silenzio siamo noi" (We are flashes of lightning in the silence). The song is a declaration that their love is a mutual rescue, a passionate force that makes them feel they belong to each other forever.

Italian rock band Måneskin tells a tragic, fairy-tale-like story in "CORALINE". The narrator pleads for the truth from a girl described as "bella come il sole" ("beautiful like the sun") with copper hair, but she carries a crushing inner weight. She absorbs everyone else's suffering until her own heart feels split in two. The song sets up intense contradictions inside her: "Coraline vuole il mare ma ha paura dell'acqua" ("Coraline wants the sea but is afraid of the water"), showing someone paralyzed by anxiety while desperate for freedom. Words hit her like axes, and her mind feels like a monster trapping her in a cage and laying mines along her path.

Faced with her pain, the singer steps in as a devoted protector, offering to be everything from winter shelter to a literal "spada d'argento" ("silver sword") in exchange for nothing more than a smile. Toward the end, the lyrics reveal deeper roots of her trauma, mentioning "un padre che di padre ha niente" ("a father who is nothing like a father") and a promise of a fortress with walls thick enough that "non potrà colpirti più niente" ("nothing will be able to hurt you anymore"). It is a fierce, protective rock ballad about wanting to shield someone who has been bruised by life.

Ever have one of those days where something small goes wrong and it somehow makes everything else feel right? That's the heart of this song. Ligabue isn't really panicking about losing his keys. Instead, he uses it as an excuse to stop and think. He sings, "Oggi ho perso le chiavi di casa / Oggi resto qui fuori un po' con me" (Today I lost my house keys / Today I'll stay out here a bit with myself). It's a moment of unexpected freedom, a chance to just sit with his own thoughts without the usual distractions of life.

This small problem opens the door to some big questions. He wonders about the lines between people, asking "Dov'è comunque che / Finisco io e cominci tu?" (Where is it anyway that I end and you begin?). He even questions the very nature of good and evil. But being locked out isn't a lonely or scary experience. It's a moment of peace and clarity. He feels that "va tutto bene com'è com'è" (everything is fine just as it is), finding comfort in just being with himself. It's a great rock song about how sometimes, losing your way for a minute is the best way to find yourself.

“Morirò Da Re” yani “Kral olarak öleceğim”, zor bir yola birlikte çıkma fikrini coşkulu ve biraz da gösterişli bir dille anlatıyor. Anlatıcı, sevdiği kişiye “prendi la mia mano, bella señorita” [elimi tut, güzel señorita] diyerek elini uzatıyor; dünyayı bir kalemle yeniden çizmeyi, trene yalnızca parmaklarıyla tutunarak ilerlemeyi hayal ediyor. Yolun kolay olmayacağını da saklamıyor: “non sarà facile, tutta in salita” [kolay olmayacak, her şey yokuş yukarı]. Valiz hazırlamak, file çorapları ve topukluları giymek, gri geceyi birlikte parlatmak ise kaçıştan çok cesur bir maceraya hazırlanma havası veriyor.

Şarkının en güçlü fikri, sevgilinin yanında her koşulda gururla durmak: “accanto a te, io morirò da re” [senin yanında, kral olarak öleceğim]. Yorgun ve hasta olsa bile ateş gibi ilerlemek, karşısına çıkan “il branco” [sürü, kalabalık ya da tehdit oluşturan grup] ile yüzleşmek ve geri dönmemek istiyor. “Puoi cadere in piedi anche dall’alto” [yüksekten düşsen bile ayaklarının üstüne düşebilirsin] sözü de düşmenin son olmadığını, yeniden doğrulma gücünü anlatan İtalyanca bir deyimdir. Son bölümde adı geçen Marlena’ya “vinci la sera” [geceyi kazan] ve “apri la vela, dai viaggia leggera” [yelkeni aç, hadi hafifçe yolculuk et] deniyor. Marlena’nın kim olduğu sözlerde açıklanmıyor; burada özgürce hareket etmesi, güzelliğini insanlara göstermesi ve yanında hiçbir ağırlık taşımadan yola çıkması istenen bir kişi olarak karşımıza çıkıyor. Neşeli, cesur ve biraz abartılı “kral gibi ölürüm” cümlesi, şarkının maceraya meydan okuyan sloganı gibi.

Turning twenty can feel like walking a tightrope between absolute panic and boundless confidence, and Italian rock band Måneskin nails that exact feeling in "VENT'ANNI". The track opens with an honest admission of youth drama: "Io c'ho vent'anni / Perciò non ti stupire se dal niente faccio drammi" ("I'm twenty, so don't be surprised if I make drama out of nothing"). Notice the casual phrasing "c'ho" here: in spoken Italian, people often attach ci to the verb avere (to have) for natural rhythm instead of using the formal textbook grammar. The narrator wrestles with the terrifying thought of leaving behind only money ("Ho paura di lasciare al mondo soltanto denaro") or being forgotten ("Che il mio nome scompaia tra quelli di tutti gli altri" / "That my name vanishes among everyone else's"), before turning rebellious and yelling that they have zero to prove to anyone selling their soul for cash.

What makes this track hit so hard is the battle between following the herd and staying true to who you are. The lyrics push you to make tough choices: "Scegli amore o diamanti, demoni o santi" ("Choose love or diamonds, demons or saints"). Instead of taking the easy way out, the goal is "Spiegare cos'è il colore a chi vede bianco e nero" ("Explaining what color is to those who see in black and white"). By the end, the perspective shifts slightly from singing about oneself to giving advice directly to you: "Sarai qualcuno se resterai diverso dagli altri" ("You will be somebody if you remain different from the others"). It is a fierce, heartfelt reminder that making mistakes and running toward your freedom is just part of growing up.

“La Mia Storia Tra Le Dita” is a bittersweet confession sung at the very moment a relationship slips away. Over gentle guitar chords, the narrator watches his partner walk out the door and tries to act tough, but every line reveals just how deeply he’s hurting. He jokes, bargains, and even promises he won’t “try anything,” yet he can’t hide the panic of losing the smile that once “opened paradise” for him.

Rather than a simple breakup song, Grignani turns the farewell into a raw self-portrait: he admits his bravado is only a shield, calls his problems “guai” without her, and pleads for forgiveness he may not deserve. When she leaves, she isn’t just taking memories; she’s taking the very “story between his fingers” — the songs, dreams, and identity he built around their love. The result is an emotional snapshot of pride colliding with vulnerability, where music becomes the only way to muffle the explosion in his heart.

Måneskin’in “Zitti e buoni” şarkısı, kendisini anlamayan ve hakkında konuşan insanlara karşı sert, alaycı bir cevap gibi ilerliyor. Şarkının adı olan “Zitti e buoni”, kelimesi kelimesine “sessiz ve uslu olun” demek. Ancak burada bu söz, sanatçıların toplumun beklediği gibi davranmayı reddetmesine yöneltilen emre meydan okuyor. “Loro non sanno di che parlo” [Onlar neden bahsettiğimi bilmiyor] derken kirli kıyafetlerden, parmaklarındaki sigara sarısından ve zorlu bir yolda çalışarak ilerlemekten söz ediyor. “Sono fuori di testa, ma diverso da loro” [Aklım biraz başımdan gitmiş, ama onlardan farklıyım] cümlesi de şarkının merkezindeki fikri veriyor: Farklı olmak burada saklanacak bir kusur değil, kişinin kendine ait yolu.

Şarkı ilerledikçe görüntüler daha sertleşiyor: Kapıları tekmeyle açmak, dağcılar gibi yukarı bakmak, sırtında balmumu kanatlarla yüksekliğe ulaşmaya çalışmak ve insanların ne hakkında konuştuklarını bilmeden konuşması. “Parla la gente purtroppo, parla, non sa di che cazzo parla” [İnsanlar ne yazık ki konuşuyor, ne hakkında konuştuklarını bilmiyor] dizesi açıkça kaba ve öfkeli. Buna karşılık “Tu portami dove sto a galla, che qui mi manca l’aria” [Beni suyun üstünde kalabildiğim yere götür, çünkü burada nefesim kesiliyor] sözü, bu baskıdan uzaklaşma ihtiyacını anlatıyor. Dinamik rock havasıyla şarkı, başkalarının yargılarına boyun eğmek yerine kendi garipliğini sahiplenen bir grubun yüksek sesli ilanı gibi.

Elefanti invites you into a quirky day-dream where two people rediscover each other and their own childhood sense of wonder. The singer looks into a partner’s eyes and sees his own reflection, a playful sign that the distance between them is shrinking — just like a “franco-american rapprochement.” From that first spark, the pair decide to “hide like elephants when they’re happy,” protecting their oversized joy by slipping away from the world. The elephant becomes a mascot for big, undeniable feelings that are kept secret so they can grow in peace.

As the lyrics repeat “Facciamo come gli elefanti,” the song turns into an invitation: leave the noise behind, find a “posto segreto,” and celebrate intimacy in a place only the two of you know. It is both whimsical and tender, reminding us that even the biggest creatures — or the biggest emotions — sometimes need a quiet hiding spot to feel truly free and alive.

Måneskin v téhle rockové pecce vůbec nešetří své odpůrce. Hned v první větě jim vpálí drsné „Stronzi vi vedo, siete bianchi in faccia“ (Hajzlové, vidím vás, jste celí bledí). Celá skladba stojí na pocitu zadostiučinění a tvrdě vydřeného vzestupu. Zpěvák vzpomíná na to, jak na něj ostatní jen ukazovali prstem („la tua mano era sempre puntata“ – tvoje ruka vždycky mířila na mě), místo aby mu pomohli vstát. Dokonce i Bůh se k němu otočil zády („Dio era girato di spalle“), když padal na dno. Jenže místo pádu přichází vzestup jako bájný fénix: „Io rinasco dalla mia cenere“ (Znovu se rodím ze svého popela).

Největší hnací motor celé písně je ale vděk a rodina. Fráze, která dala tracku jméno, zní: „Ridarle indietro il dono della vita“ (Vrátit jí zpátky dar života). Zpěvák chce zkrátka dřít do úmoru a zničit si tělo („Spaccarmi schiena, mani, gambe e braccia“ – Zlámat si záda, ruce, nohy i paže), jen aby jeho máma už nikdy nemusela být unavená. Je to přímočará, hlasitá a hrdá oslava toho, že i když vám podlamují nohy („Cedono le gambe“), srdce pořád bije dál („Ma il cuore mi batte ancora“).

Эта песня — настоящий эмоциональный взрыв, который начинается с мощного образа: "Come l'aria mi respirerai" (Ты будешь дышать мной, как воздухом). Певец обращается к кому-то, кто был для него всем, но теперь чувствуется невероятно далеко. Вся песня пронизана этим ощущением дистанции, как в припеве, где он снова и снова повторяет: "Perché ti sento lontana, lontana da me" (Потому что я чувствую, что ты далеко, далеко от меня).

Главный герой переживает разрыв или отдаление, наполненное тревогой ("sento l'ansia che sale" — я чувствую, как нарастает тревога) и горечью ("Bevo le lacrime amare" — я пью горькие слёзы). Он отчаянно хочет выкричать слова, которые застряли внутри, те самые "parole lontane" (далёкие слова) из названия. В песне появляется загадочная Марлена, к которой он обращается с просьбой: "Marlena portami a casa che mi spaventa l'inverno" (Марлена, забери меня домой, потому что меня пугает зима). Марлена — это не реальная девушка, а муза группы, символ свободы и спасения. Он ищет у неё утешения от холода и страха, которые принесла с собой эта потеря.
