"Duemila Volte" is Marco Mengoni’s heartfelt confession of a love so intense it feels both impossible and irresistible. Throughout the lyrics he stacks vivid images – trying to sketch a lover’s face “like pulling a sword from stone,” yearning to “live in your eyes,” chasing dawn after nights that end at 6 a.m. The repetition of ordinary cravings (another cigarette, the borrowed T-shirt) contrasts with larger-than-life desires (a “perfect life,” finding “water on Mars”), painting a relationship that swings between everyday intimacy and epic longing.
At its core the song circles around a powerful paradox: I have to lose you so I can come looking for you another two-thousand times. Distance, forgiveness, and the thrill of reunion feed an addictive cycle where separation only intensifies attraction. Mengoni’s voice turns that contradiction into a mantra of modern romance, reminding us that some connections burn brightest precisely because they are never quite within reach.
