I've put away some noise

They say that's how you do it, in the nightstand there's a mine

And six-thousand-watt tonsils

I've put away the hide-and-seek games

They say I'm not old enough

If they turn around for a moment

I'll play again 'cause I feel like it

I've put away some illusions

That sooner or later enough's enough

I've put two or three cartons of them away

Anyway I know they're still there

I've put away some advice

They say it's easier

I've shelved them 'cause at messing up

I'm really good on my own

I'm making myself some room

And what I expect, who knows

That empty space has been, is, and will be

I've put away quite a lot of things

But I never figure out why

I just can't put you away

I've stashed away some hard knocks

The marks, those you just can't

It's not the pain or the hit

But sadly the bruise

I've put away a good bunch of photos

That will gather dust

About remorse and regrets

And grudges and the whys

I'm making myself some room

And what I expect, who knows

That empty space has been, is, and will be

I've put away quite a lot of things

But I never figure out why

I just can't put you away

In these shoes

And on this rocking earth

Rocking rocking rocking

With the comfort of

A sky that stays there

I'm making myself some room

And what I expect, who knows

That empty space has been, is, and will be

I've put away quite a lot of things

But I never figure out why

I can't manage to put away

Manage to put away

Manage to put away you

SONG MEANING

“Ho Messo Via” feels like rifling through an overstuffed drawer of memories while a guitar hums in the background. Ligabue lists everything he has tried to stash away: childhood games, deafening noise, bruising mistakes, dusty photographs, even well-meaning advice. Each item is a snapshot of a life lived loudly, then folded up and pushed aside in a bid to clear some space for the future. While he pokes fun at himself for being an expert at messing up, there is a playful energy in the way he admits it—almost as if every misstep is part of the soundtrack he is proud to keep.

Yet one thing refuses to be stored: “te”—you. No matter how many illusions he boxes up, or how much room he makes in his heart, the memory of this person keeps reappearing like a stubborn chorus. The song turns into a bittersweet confession that the hardest clutter to let go of is the love that still vibrates under all the piled-up regrets. By the final refrain, the listener realizes the empty space Ligabue is carving out is not just for a cleaner life, but for the lingering hope that this irreplaceable “you” might step back in.
