Suocera means 'mother-in-law'. While it might seem like a common family term, its inclusion in this song is quite humorous and relatable.
The lyrics list a series of domestic challenges and responsibilities that come with marriage, and 'suocera' is thrown in as one of the inevitable (and sometimes daunting) aspects of settling down. It adds a touch of everyday reality and a knowing wink to the listener, making the song's narrative more engaging.
Imagine finding out that the love of your life is about to marry someone else. Zero Assoluto’s Per Dimenticare captures that gut-punch feeling with a smile that trembles at the edges. The narrator politely wishes the bride-to-be all the best, yet every courteous word hides an ache. As he lists her upcoming “perfect” life — a shared apartment, grocery runs, seaside holidays, a child, a dog, boisterous relatives, Christmas bingo, even the recurring headaches that come with routine — we sense both envy and irony. These everyday snapshots show how ready he was to build that future with her, yet she never realized it.
Then comes the honest confession: maybe I will leave to forget you… and to forget myself with you. The chorus turns travel into therapy, suggesting that distance might numb the memory of a love that almost was. Beneath its catchy pop melody, the song explores unrequited devotion, the courage it takes to step aside, and the hope that a new beginning — whether on a train, a plane, or simply in a different state of mind — can soothe a broken heart. Listening to Per Dimenticare is like reading a goodbye letter written on dancing paper: upbeat on the surface, achingly sincere underneath.
