But if no one is like you

What's the point of crying if out of habit

I look for a new you in the eyes of others

But you're a nasty plunge into vertigo

I know well that I love you

Including when I hate you

Including when you scream

Including if you don't write

Including when you act offended

And sometimes I believe it a little

Ultimately all this was enough for us

Again, again, again

Again, why

Because your eyes hold me tight

They chase me as if they were the drug squad

You come by my place, but only for an hour

Now the angels curse us

I know that before you, there was no 'before'

But now we are more alone than an empty square

I hear the sound of your sirens

In the silence of our dinners

Tell me what we're still doing here

The good memories remain, it hurts

Because if we bind ourselves with chains

We know well what happens

Before you, there was no 'before'

But now we are more alone than an empty square

Try to fly, but without a pilot

We could always be at high altitude

I jump down without a parachute

Better than those who have a thousand excuses

Broken voice, like a bottle

Pour more vodka, tonight shines

If there is a moon then there is also its reflection

And what luck if there is no queue at the entrance

What are you doing here alone? The DJ booth comforts us

From illegal thoughts, not even in Barcelona

Let's escape from the clubs, maybe it's the right time

Because if the music starts, we'll do it again

You are a trip, a journey into the night that never ends

You are like weed, I mean the male and female plant

I take a puff, who knows what it feels like

I'll finish before the drug squad arrives

Again, why

Because your eyes hold me tight

They chase me as if they were the drug squad

You come by my place, but only for an hour

Now the angels curse us

I know that before you, there was no 'before'

But now we are more alone than an empty square

I hear the sound of your sirens

In the silence of our dinners

Tell me what we're still doing here

The good memories remain, it hurts

Because if we bind ourselves with chains

We know well what happens

Before you, there was no 'before'

But now we are more alone than an empty square

Mhm-mhm, before you, there was no 'before'

But now we are more alone than an empty square

antidroga — anti-drug

Antidroga literally translates to "anti-drug". It's a striking and somewhat unusual word to find in a pop song, making it memorable.

In the context of the song, the artist uses "antidroga" metaphorically to describe the intense, almost addictive, nature of a relationship. The person's eyes are described as the "antidroga," implying that their presence is a powerful, perhaps even dangerous, remedy or escape from reality, much like a drug itself. This paradoxical use creates a compelling image.

Emma spends this whole song admitting she cannot quit someone. "So bene che ti amo" [I know I love you] arrives with a list of exceptions that turn out not to be exceptions at all: "Compreso quando ti odio" [Including when I hate you], "Compreso quando fai l'offeso" [Including when you sulk]. Then the title lands. His eyes, she sings, "Mi inseguono come se fossero l'antidroga" [chase me as if they were the drug squad], which makes him the substance and makes loving him the thing the police are meant to stop. The best line here is quieter than any of that: "Ma ora siamo più soli di una piazza vuota" [But now we are lonelier than an empty square].

Fabri Fibra shows up halfway through and moves the metaphor into a nightclub, where the vodka keeps coming and "Che ci fai tu qui sola? La consolle ci consola" [What are you doing here on your own? The DJ booth consoles us] is a pun he clearly enjoyed writing. He signs off with "Faccio un tiro, chissà cosa si prova" [I take a drag, who knows what it feels like] and then "Finisco prima che arrivi l'antidroga" [I'll be done before the drug squad shows up]. Nobody here is having a good time, and nobody is leaving.
