Guai translates to "troubles" or "woes". While it can be used in everyday conversation, its appearance in this song is particularly poignant and central to the emotional core.
The artist uses it to describe the difficulties and problems in a relationship, singing "E tutti i fiori che mi hai portato sono i nostri guai" (And all the flowers you brought me are our troubles). This line twists a traditional romantic gesture (flowers) into a symbol of shared burdens, making guai a powerful and memorable word in this context.
gIANMARIA sings about the quiet kind of loneliness that shows up even when someone is close by. He describes feeling hollow, "a piece of glass" that people can see straight through, while a partner tells him he'll never change or grow up.
The chorus turns that loneliness over, wondering if being alone is something he deserves, or just what keeps happening to him. By the end, he realizes his partner has lost just as much time as he has, so the ache isn't his alone. It's a song about feeling emotionally invisible in a relationship, and finding a small, sad kind of comfort in shared exhaustion.
