Turn up the volume and dive into pure Italian passion! In Le Parole Lontane (which translates to The Distant Words), Måneskin wrap raw rock energy around a heart-tugging confession. The singer feels his lover drifting away, so far that even his most desperate shouts seem to vanish into the wind. Images of salty tears, crashing waves and an icy winter paint the scene of a relationship on the edge, where every unspoken phrase stings like cold air in the lungs.
Yet this is no simple breakup song. It is a plea for rescue and a vow of eternal devotion all at once: “Bevo le lacrime amare” (I drink bitter tears) shows the pain, while the recurrent call to Marlena—the band’s mythical muse—reminds us of the hope that rock music can still save the day. Listening, you will feel the urgency to shout out the words you have been hiding, before they too become parole lontane.
