We separated like two planets without gravity

Like friends after university

Yes, like two brothers over an inheritance

We confided in each other, a thousand dreams, and now we're back to square one

To tell them to people who don't give a shit

I hope you've at least made one come true

I wanted the north and you were looking for the south

Opposite currents, but the same mood

You asked for dessert, I was the amuse-bouche

I'd lift you up, up, up

I still call you but you don't know

On the old number from years ago

But you changed it, you're no longer there

And it just goes beep, beep, beep

But do you ever think about the things I know about you?

And that now they are of no use

But what do you know about me?

That your mom liked me

That I believed in karma

And I dreamed of going to Iceland

In Iceland

A rental car with only a Sigur Rós album inside

The wind that grips us along the Harring Road

The shark drawn on the t-shirt

And yes, but then I wake up

And I'm still here in my studio apartment

Smog instead of the Northern Lights

Your dreams that don't leave me alone anymore

Me Holly and Benji, you Sailor Moon

Opposite stories but the same mood

I was looking for the sky in your blue eyes

You'd lift me up, up, up

I have two tickets to wherever you want

It would be nice to go back to being us

I'm still calling you, but you're not there anymore

And it just goes beep, beep, beep

But do you ever think about the things I know about you?

And that now they are of no use

But what do you know about me?

That your mom liked me

That I believed in karma

And I dreamed of going to Iceland

Maybe by staying close, in time we would've ended up hating each other

Hurting each other out of boredom and asking the other, 'What's the matter?'

Your old number is now answered by a travel agency

And finally I'm going to Iceland, but without you

But do you ever think about the things I know about you?

And that now they are of no use

But what do you know about me?

That your mom liked me

That I believed in karma

And I dreamed of going to Iceland

In Iceland

Islanda — Iceland

Islanda is the Italian word for "Iceland". It's a captivating and somewhat exotic place name that immediately sparks curiosity, especially given its unique natural beauty and remoteness.

In the song, Iceland represents a dream destination and a symbol of escape and longing. The narrator repeatedly mentions wanting to go to Iceland, first with a loved one, and then finally alone, highlighting themes of lost love, dreams, and personal journeys. This makes the word central to the song's narrative and emotional core.

Two people drift apart with nothing dramatic to point at. "Ci siamo separati come due pianeti senza gravità" (We separated like two planets without gravity), and then, more ordinarily, "Come amici dopo l'università" (Like friends after university). What is left is a phone habit he has not broken: "Ti chiamo ancora ma non lo sai" (I still call you but you don't know), on a number that has since been reassigned — "Al tuo vecchio numero ora risponde un'agenzia di viaggi" (Your old number is now answered by a travel agency).

Iceland is the shape their shared future used to take, and the song keeps it in objects rather than feelings: "Un'auto a noleggio con dentro solo un disco dei Sigur Rós" (A rental car with only a Sigur Rós record inside), "Lo squalo disegnato sopra la t-shirt" (The shark drawn on the t-shirt). Then the daydream drops him back into his one-room flat — "Lo smog al posto dell'aurora boreale" (Smog instead of the Northern Lights). The last verse lets him go anyway: "E finalmente io vado in Islanda, ma senza di te" (And finally I'm going to Iceland, but without you).
