watch me
As only you
You who know how to shine in the dark
Keep calling me from the dark
You will be this burn forever
This crime of my mind
The closer you are, the more I understand
That everything is all I risk
Uo oh
But if you want me
I'm coming to get you tonight
I am coming to pick you up
Everything burns, everything passes
Everything changes face
If you are not ready to die
You are destined to disappear
If this fire closed inside
Casts a shadow over you
And I already know it will hurt
And even though I know it will hurt
If you want me
I'm coming to get you tonight
I am coming to pick you up
If you want me
If you want me
If you want me
You already know I can't give up
(If me, if me, uh uh)
Even though I know you'll hurt
(If me, if me, uh uh)
This soul of mine does not know, ha ha
(If me, if me, uh uh)
What to do with dignity (if you want me)
If you want me
If you want me
If you want me

dignitàdignity

Dignità translates to "dignity". It's a profound and somewhat formal word that stands out in a pop song, making it memorable.

In the context of the song, the singer questions what their soul should do with dignity when faced with such an overwhelming desire. This creates a powerful internal conflict, suggesting that love can sometimes make us abandon our pride or self-respect, adding a layer of emotional depth to the lyrics.

"Se Mi Vuoi" ("If You Want Me") is Diodato singing straight to someone he can't stop thinking about. He calls them the one who knows how to shine in the dark, and admits this pull feels like a fire burning inside him, an obsession he can't reason his way out of.

The chorus is a promise, not a question: if you want me, I'm coming to get you tonight. He knows the risk. He says outright that it will hurt, that everything eventually burns and fades, but he goes anyway, because holding back and pretending not to want it is the one thing he says he can't do.

By the end he strips away any dignity or self-protection, repeating "se mi vuoi" like a plea and a dare at once. It's a song about wanting someone so much that caution stops mattering.
