Strange, almost eerie night

Without moon stars fireflies

I pray you never notice

Of my headlights behind you that follow you

You're running me out of town

Who knows where this will take me

The asphalt is now finished where you are

Then suddenly a shiver runs through my bones

An old house and your car that

Standing under that sign it makes me read

Welcome to Dream Motel

The woman, the dream, the great nightmare

Tonight I will meet

While everyone in the world is sleeping

Maybe I'll wake up too

With the alarm now dead

And with my mother telling me: 'Come on, how do you do it

All the times to never wake up?'

And all this will end like this, but I'm here now

The man behind the lobby desk

A shady guy who couldn't be more

In a low voice he approaches me

'In room one hundred and six await you'

A corridor that never ends

I finally arrive at one hundred and six

In the dim light you are inside

Your long legs moving

But the next room is open and I see that

All my toys, my dreams, my whys

I'm in a room at the Dream Motel

The woman, the dream, the great nightmare

I'm going and I won't stop

While everyone in the world is sleeping

So I too will wake up

With the alarm now dead

And with my mother telling me: 'Come on, how do you do it

All the times to never wake up?'

And all this will end like this, but I'm here now

I grab my things and run away

I have to get to the concierge

At any cost I have to get out of here

But everyone in the motel wakes up

I hear footsteps running behind me

There isn't a damn second release

I'm finally out of there

Just before they find me

At the end of the avenue your car is inside you

But this time I'm not even following you anymore

Give me the Dream Motel

The woman, the dream, the great nightmare

I'm leaving and I won't come back

While everyone in the world is sleeping

Then I'll wake up too

With the alarm now dead

And with my mother telling me: 'Come on, how do you do it

All the times to never wake up?'

And all this will end like this, a century from now

incubo — nightmare

Incubo translates directly to "nightmare". It's a strong and evocative word that immediately sets a dramatic tone for the song.

In "Il Grande Incubo", the word is central to the song's title and theme, referring to a vivid, unsettling dream experience. The protagonist is caught in a surreal sequence of events, making the "incubo" a key element in understanding the song's narrative and emotional impact.

Have you ever had one of those dreams where you're just trying to wake up, but you can't? That's exactly what 883's "Il Grande Incubo" [The Great Nightmare] feels like! It starts with a super eerie night, "Senza luna stelle lucciole" [Without moon, stars, fireflies], and our singer is secretly following someone. He's being driven out of the city, wondering where he's going, until he sees a sign: "Benvenuti al Dream Motel" [Welcome to the Dream Motel].

This song is a wild ride through a nightmare where a mysterious woman, a shady desk clerk, and a never-ending hallway lead him to room 106. But it's not just about the woman; he sees "Tutti i miei giocattoli, i miei sogni, i miei perché" [All my toys, my dreams, my whys] in another room at the Dream Motel. He's desperate to escape, running from everyone in the motel, just wanting to wake up to his mom saying, "Dai, come fai tutte le volte a non svegliarti mai?" [Come on, how do you manage not to wake up every time?]. It's a really cool way to show how dreams can feel so real and how sometimes, even good things can turn into a big nightmare!
