**“Coraline” feels like a dark fairy-tale told through roaring guitars and tender whispers. Måneskin introduce us to a girl who is “bella come il sole” yet burdened by invisible monsters: anxiety, loss, and a loveless childhood. The singer pleads, “Dimmi le tue verità” – “Tell me your truths” – inviting Coraline to lay bare the pain she usually carries for everyone else. As the song shifts from hushed verses to explosive choruses, we follow her struggle between the desire to run toward freedom and the fear that mines her path. Every lyric paints her as both warrior and wounded child, someone who wants the sea but is afraid of water because that chaotic ocean may already live inside her.
At heart, the track is a promise of protection. The narrator vows to become fire in the cold, water to drink, even a silver sword, asking only for a smile in return. It is an anthem of empathy: acknowledging mental health battles, condemning a neglectful father, and reminding listeners that even the strongest-looking souls can shatter without support. “Coraline” ultimately urges us to listen to the truths behind each tear and to stand as shields for those who cannot yet shield themselves.
