Verse 1
We're the only ones awake in the whole universe
And I don't know still your desert well
Maybe it's in a place in my heart where the sun is always off
Where sometimes I lose you, but if I want I catch you
We're stuck in a time like this, that lifts the streets
With the sky one step from here, we're the monsters and the fairies
I should call you, tell you the things that I feel
But I've finished the excuses and I don't have more defenses
Prechorus 1
We're a book on the floor in an empty house that seems like ours
The coffee with lemon against the hangover, you look like a blurred photo
And we screwed another night out at a venue
The words 'ci siamo fottuti' can mean two different things: that two people had sex or that they tricked each other
And thank goodness
'Meno male' literally translates to 'less bad', but it's a phrase used to express relief when the future turns out much better than planned, something like 'Thank goodness', or 'That's good'
Chorus 1
If this is the last song and then the moon will explode
I'll be there to tell you that you're wrong, you're wrong and you know it
Here the music doesn't arrive
And you don't sleep and where will you be? Where do you go?
When life then exaggerates
Or: When life then goes too far
All the races, the slaps, the mistakes that you make
When something agitates you
Or: When something upsets you
I know that you don't sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, never sleep
What twists two lives take
Verse 2
We're the only ones awake in the whole universe
To shout a little rage above a rooftop
That nobody feels like this
That nobody watches movies anymore
The flowers in your room
My metal shirt
Prechorus 2
We're a book on the floor in an empty house that seems like ours
Lost among people, how many words without ever an answer
And we screwed another night out at a venue
And thank goodness
Chorus 2
If this is the last song and then the moon will explode
I'll be there to tell you that you're wrong, you're wrong and you know it
Here the music doesn't arrive
And you don't sleep and where will you be? Where do you go?
When life then exaggerates
All the races and the slaps, the mistakes that you make
When something agitates you
I know that you don't sleep
Turn off the light even if you don't like it
We stay in the dark surrounded only by the sound of our voice
Beyond the madness that dances in everything
Two lives look what a mess
Chorus 3
If this is the last song and then the moon will explode
I'll be there to tell you that you're wrong, you're wrong and you know it
Here the music doesn't arrive
I know that you don't sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, never sleep
What twists two lives take
Two lives

SONG MEANING

Due Vite paints the picture of two lovers who feel like the only ones awake in the universe. From empty houses and rooftops to late-night hangovers cured with coffee and lemon, Marco Mengoni strings together vivid snapshots of a relationship that is messy, thrilling, and stubbornly alive. The pair keep circling each other in a private cosmos where arguments flare, laughter crashes in, and sleep is a rare visitor. Every verse pulses with the tension between losing one another and clinging tighter, as if each moment could be the last song before the moon itself blows up.

The title means Two Lives, and that is exactly what the couple juggle: the life they share and the separate paths that keep pulling them apart. Mengoni turns their chaos into a soaring pop anthem powered by hope. Even when the music “doesn’t reach here,” the lovers promise to stay, talk in the dark, and chase the chance to rewrite their story one more time. It is a reminder that passion survives in the imperfections and that the wild orbit of love is worth every sleepless night.
