Martelli feels like an emotional roller coaster viewed through a cracked kaleidoscope. Gazzelle paints the moment right after losing love and direction: pockets emptied, memories of Caterina still staring him up and down, and a spring so dull it almost hurts. Each new day “sembra un martello” – it slams down like a hammer on his aching head – and the dramatic refrain “oggi mi sparo in testa” is less about literal self-harm, more a raw shout of frustration, confusion, and exhaustion.
Yet underneath the grey clouds, the singer keeps repeating a simple wish: "Voglio solo stare bene, ritrovare il mio colore" – “I just want to feel good, to find my colour again.” The track swings between darkness and light, mapping the messy path from heart-break to healing. It reminds us that even when life pounds away like heavy tools in a workshop, the stubborn hope for brightness still flickers and pushes us forward.
