Your makeup was running and I didn't understand why
I was smoking, you were the one with red eyes
I'll give a high five to the next one, the next one who
Says you're not worth it, what do they know about you
How are you
Behind a door that never opens
And under a moon that
Tonight keeps you afloat
When the darkness talks to you about me
And everyone's sleeping
You seem the only one awake in the world
But you're not alone
But you're the only one for me
Your makeup was running and I didn't understand why
I was smoking, you were the one with red eyes
I'll give a high five to the next one, the next one who
Says you're not worth it, what do they know about you
And you'll write my words
Until the sun arrives
And you'll carry all this love
Elsewhere, but where?
You'll take
Everything with your teeth as you always do
And what illuminates us
Doesn't always come from above
The sky is just a jump away for me
The others are sleeping
You seem the only one awake in the world
But you're not alone
But you're the only one for me
Your makeup was running and I didn't understand why
I was smoking, you were the one with red eyes
I'll give a high five to the next one, the next one who
Says you're not worth it, what do they know about you
And you'll write my words
Until the sun arrives
And you'll carry all this love
Elsewhere, but where?
Ah
Ah, na, na, na, na, naa
Na, na, na, naa

gallabuoy / float

Galla literally means 'buoy' or 'float'. It's an interesting word because it's not commonly found in everyday Italian song lyrics, making it stand out.

In the context of

"Occhi Rossi" is Coez's picture of staying up with someone through heartbreak.

It opens on a small, specific detail: running mascara, a cigarette, red eyes that give the crying away before any words do. From there the song turns into reassurance. The narrator tells this person to ignore whoever said they weren't worth it, and promises to write their own words and carry that love somewhere else once the sun comes up.

The chorus repeats one idea from two sides: everyone else is asleep, but the narrator is the "alarm clock" still awake for them, close by even while knowing this person isn't truly alone in the world, just alone in this particular ache.

By the end the lyrics dissolve into wordless "ah" and "na na na" lines, letting the melody hold what's left unsaid.
