I asked the dark for another way home

I seem to see it everywhere, but my place is there

You took another path and I'm still here

But together the world was more beautiful, you remember that, yes?

More beautiful than that

You stayed by my side, between the tears and the mud

But I'm made of asbestos, it hurts you to be around me

And where are you tonight if I open my eyes and don't look at you?

Who knows what happens to dreams when you are awake

We are distant now, but

Something remains for eternity

This shadow eats me inside now, but it doesn't go away

It doesn't go away

And now it's black

The darkness lights up the night when I look at the sky

Maybe it's because I don't feel like anything anymore or that I no longer have anything of what I had

I've never had anything more real

Of you

It's black outside

You were already looking forward and I was only looking back

But maybe it's true, everything changes, we are just sand that has become glass

How many more opportunities will we miss

Me and you

Forgive me if I run away when you want to hold me tight

For all those things I hid and didn't tell you

But deep down you know me like a book you've already read

It's stupid, I admit

And silence seems like music in this city

Even if now I feel halfway

Where will every lost promise end?

Who knows what happens

And now it's black

The darkness lights up the night when I look at the sky

Maybe it's because I don't feel like anything anymore or that I no longer have anything of what I had

I've never had anything more real

Of you

It's black outside

You were already looking forward and I was only looking back

But maybe it's true, everything changes, we are just sand that has become glass

How many more opportunities will we miss

Me and you

amianto — asbestos

Amianto literally translates to "asbestos". It's a striking and unusual word to find in a song, making it highly memorable.

In the lyrics, the artist sings, "Ma io sono d'amianto, ti fa male starmi accanto" (But I am made of asbestos, it hurts you to be near me). This powerful metaphor conveys a sense of self-destruction or toxicity, suggesting that the singer believes they are harmful to those they love, much like asbestos is harmful to health. This unique and dark imagery makes the word particularly enticing.

Mr.Rain's "NERO" is a really emotional journey through a breakup, where the singer is stuck in the past while his partner has moved on. He's searching for a way back home, but home feels like it's everywhere and nowhere at the same time: "Mi sembra di vederla in ogni posto, ma il mio posto è lì" [I seem to see it everywhere, but my place is there]. He remembers how much better the world was when they were together, asking, "Ma insieme era più bello il mondo, lo ricordi, sì?" [But together the world was more beautiful, do you remember, yes?].

The song really digs into the pain of feeling like you're hurting the person you love, even when they stick by you: "Mi sei rimasta a fianco, fra le lacrime ed il fango / Ma io sono d'amianto, ti fa male starmi accanto" [You stayed by my side, through tears and mud / But I am asbestos, it hurts you to be near me]. The world around him feels dark, or "nero," now that they're apart, and he feels like he's lost everything that was real to him: "Non ho mai avuto niente di più vero / Di te" [I never had anything more real / Than you]. It's a powerful look at regret, missed chances, and the struggle to move forward when you're still looking back.
