The serenades and your aesthetic
You were looking under my skirt for the eighties
Sorry, I was terrible
I think I screwed up a lot
The Cold War among us
Drink coffee, I'll drink tea
What do you know about a man and a boy
Why, why?
You say it's all math
I think it's just a huge bullshit
In the shower for more than two hours
Without breakfast
With the damn feeling
Of walking over nails, that is
Like when you fall in love with someone you hate, with you
Wherever you are, tell me
Whether it's fear or that desperate desire
I'm exaggerating, I need to calm down
But it never, never, never happens, it's obvious
Never, never, never, it's obvious
Fruit salad in plastic
Going shopping is an 80s film
Now I'm not very clear
But this love is a catastrophe announced
The Holy War among us
I move the king, you move me
The whole building will hear us
Why, why?
Maybe it's me, how stupid
But our love is a catastrophe announced
In the shower for more than two hours
Without breakfast
With the damn feeling
Of walking over nails, that is
Like when you fall in love with someone you hate, with you
Wherever you are, tell me
Whether it's fear or that desperate desire
I'm exaggerating, I need to calm down
But it never, never, never happens, it's obvious
Never, never, never, it's obvious
Hell, I can't help but suffer with you, no
If we don't do it now I'll die in style, no
I feel like I've lost you if I call you now
But I don't want to go out, I have the damned feeling
Of walking over nails, that is
Like when you fall in love with someone you hate, with you
Wherever you are, tell me
Whether it's fear or that desperate desire
I'm exaggerating, I need to calm down
But it never, never, never happens, it's obvious
Never, never, never, it's obvious
Never, never, never, it's obvious
Never, never, never really

Chiodi literally translates to "nails," as in the metal fasteners. It's a common word, but its use in this song is particularly striking and metaphorical.

Annalisa sings about "camminare sopra i chiodi" (walking on nails), which is a powerful image of pain and discomfort. It's a vivid way to describe the agony of a difficult relationship, making the word memorable and impactful in this context.

Have you ever been in a relationship that feels both amazing and painful at the same time? Annalisa's song "Chiodi," which means "Nails" in English, perfectly captures this confusing and intense feeling. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship full of conflict, described as a "Cold War" and a "Holy War." The singer feels a powerful, almost consuming attraction to her partner, who she says tastes "like a man and a boy," but their love is also a "foretold catastrophe."

The central image of the song is the painful feeling of "walking on nails." Annalisa compares this to the contradictory emotion of falling in love with someone you hate, or perhaps even hating yourself for being in love. She sings about being stuck in the shower for hours, lost in thought, torn between a "desperate desire" and fear. It's a raw and honest look at a love that is as difficult as it is irresistible.
