Effetto Domino Lyrics in English Emma

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Effetto Domino by Emma from Italian to English.
Let's leave every chance open
Let's leave a breath of air at the windows
Twenty thousand leagues under the blankets
Let me see if the desire's still in you
Always sweating with no goal
Only at night
We stay naked hanging by a thread
That goes
From my legs to your eyes
Show me love when you come back
I always wanna hurt myself with you
Let's play our games with the light
I always wanna hurt myself with you
Let's play our games with the light
And you know why
We spend our whole life looking for a meaning
That, no, isn't there
And I like it better on the floor
On top of you
And if we have to go down
Let's go down
With the domino effect
With the domino effect
With the domino effect
With the domino effect
We get out in pieces from the domino effect
If a certainty falls panic starts
There's a promise on your body
To keep
If everybody knows your secret
Deny it
To sweat without having
No more thoughts, only the night
We stay naked like yesterday
And what'll you do if I put a blindfold on your eyes?
Show me love when you touch me
I always wanna hurt myself with you
Let's play our games with the light
I always wanna hurt myself with you
Let's play our games with the light
And you know why
We spend our whole life
Looking for a meaning
That, no, isn't there
And I like it better on the floor
On top of you
And if we have to go down
Let's go down
With the domino effect
With the domino effect
With the domino effect
With the domino effect
And you can use me
Like I use you
Just enough to feel again
I always wanna hurt myself with you
Let's play our games with the light
I always wanna hurt myself with you
Let's play our games with the light
I always wanna hurt myself with you
Let's play our games with the light
I always wanna hurt myself with you
Let's play our games with the light
And you know why
We spend our whole life
Looking for a meaning
That, no, isn't there
And I like it better on the floor
On top of you
And if we have to go down
Let's go down
With the domino effect
With the domino effect
With the domino effect
With the domino effect
With the domino effect
With the domino effect

SONG MEANING

Effetto Domino dives head-first into that irresistible chain reaction that sparks when two people throw caution to the wind. Emma paints a late-night scene filled with open windows, tangled sheets, and playful flashes of light, where every small touch knocks over the next “tile” of desire. The lovers are naked, sweating, blindfolded, and wonderfully reckless; they are not chasing grand life purposes, only the electric thrill of the moment.

Underneath the sensual imagery lies a philosophy: if life has no clear meaning, why not enjoy the fall together? The song suggests that surrendering to passion, even if it leaves us “in pieces,” can be more genuine than clinging to fragile certainties. It is an anthem for living in the present, accepting vulnerability, and letting the dominoes tumble with unapologetic joy.
