Now how do I tell my best friend
That I got myself hurt, I didn't listen to him until I lost my hearing?
How do I tell the lady at the bakery
Who asks me if I'm okay, why I'm not smiling today?
Even if I smile, I laugh
You say I've got a veil over my eyes, eyes
But I won't break until you touch me
Until you touch me
Sugar threads hanging from the ceiling
They're the curtain of my labyrinth
Maybe it's the end of my first act
Now I just wanna live, uh-uh-uh-uh-ah
Now I just wanna live, uh-uh-uh-uh
Now I just wanna
Now, now, hey
Now I just wanna
Now, now, now
Now how do I tell Angelina?
She should've forgiven herself, she became a murderer
She walks with rounded tips forever, by default
And giving everything away isn't receiving affection
And I'll play with my cards on the table
I won't tell lies anymore
And I'll become a strong woman
But while I open and close the fridge, fridge
You say I've got a veil over my eyes, eyes
Like brides in front of mirrors, in front of mirrors
Sugar threads hanging from the ceiling
I'm the ending of my first act
Now I just wanna live, uh-uh-uh-uh-ah
Now I just wanna live, uh-uh-uh-uh
Now I wanna wake up at four
Screw everything up and then
Die of boredom
And I wanna go out in slippers
Do a thousand dumb things I haven't done yet
I wanna scream at a concert
But without fear that silence will follow
I wanna touch my body and feel that I exist
Inside every flaw, inside every flaw
Now I just wanna
Now I just wanna live

sipariocurtain

Sipario literally means "curtain," specifically referring to a theater curtain. It's a word that evokes a sense of drama, performance, and the unfolding of a story.

In the song, Angelina Mango sings, "Fili di zucchero appesi al soffitto / Sono il sipario del mio labirinto" (Sugar threads hanging from the ceiling / Are the curtain of my labyrinth). Here, she uses "sipario" metaphorically to describe something that both conceals and reveals, setting the scene for her internal struggles and the journey through her "labyrinth." This theatrical imagery makes it a unique and compelling word choice.

Have you ever felt like you were hiding your true feelings behind a smile? In "Velo Sugli Occhi," which means "A Veil Over the Eyes," Angelina Mango explores this exact feeling. The song opens with her wondering how to explain her sadness to her best friend or even the lady at the bakery. She feels like she has a "veil" over her eyes, a metaphor for something that clouds her vision and hides her true self from the world. She describes being in a personal "labyrinth" with a curtain made of "sugar threads," a beautiful but fragile image of being lost.

But this isn't just a sad song! It's a powerful anthem about breaking free. The singer decides it's the "end of my first act" and declares, "Now I just want to live!" She promises to stop lying, become a strong woman, and embrace all of life's messy, imperfect moments. She wants to do simple things without fear, like screaming at a concert, making mistakes, and going out in her slippers. Ultimately, it's a song about self-acceptance and the liberating decision to live an honest, unfiltered life, flaws and all.
