Illuminami Lyrics in English Annalisa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Illuminami by Annalisa from Italian to English.
The heart isn't a game
Then it turns dangerous
Even if sometimes it barely burns
The fire still won't go out
You come back from the deep
On the pyramid of the world
Black has turned to white
The light's no longer a mirage
Light me up
Turn memories from stone into diamonds
Light me up
Life's invisible if you close your eyes
We're a unanimous thought
Everything that starts from you starts from me
What's love, what isn't?
We're constellations of ideas
Under the signs of passing time, there's no cure
What's life, what isn't?
Light me up
Light me up
Your thoughts are mine
And I'm here because you're here
We're synapses in memory
We're electricity in the air
Light me up
Turn memories from stone into diamonds
Light me up
Life's invisible if you close your eyes
We're a unanimous thought
Everything that starts from you starts from me
What's love, what isn't?
We're constellations of ideas
Under the signs of passing time, there's no cure
What's life, what isn't?
Light me up
Light me up
Bridge
We're children of our memories
Of fears, uncertainties, needs
Where are dreams born?
Do you still believe in dreams?
We're children of our memories
Of fears, uncertainties, needs
Where are dreams born?
Do you still believe in dreams?
We're a unanimous thought
Everything that starts from you starts from me
What's love, what isn't?
We're constellations of ideas
Under the signs of passing time, there's no cure
What's life, what isn't?
Light me up
Light me up
Light me up
Light me up

SONG MEANING

Illuminami is Annalisa’s shimmering plea for light – both literal and emotional. Over pulsing beats she admits that the heart is no toy, yet invites someone special to “turn stone into diamonds,” to change dull memories into something dazzling. Love here is less a fair-tale and more an experiment in shared consciousness: two minds exchange thoughts like electricity in the air, rising from the depths to the very tip of the world’s pyramid. By repeating Illuminami (“Light me up”), Annalisa frames affection as illumination, a force that makes life visible the moment we open our eyes.

The song also zooms out to a cosmic scale. We’re “constellations of ideas,” children of our memories, fears and dreams, spinning beneath time’s relentless passage. While there’s no cure for time, Annalisa suggests we can still outshine it by believing in dreams and staying connected. In short, Illuminami is a sparkling reminder that when hearts link up and share their light, even life’s darkest corners become visible – and ordinary stones can glow like diamonds.
