I wish

To give you my word

To tell you, 'I can't wait'

To forget everything

I'd like to tell you I have no voice

So I don't have to talk

That I can't choose anymore

I used to leave the house with broken bones

My mind in love, but with abstract things

Now I don't know what to do

I don't know where to go anymore

I have to get used to it

I was lost in a vortex

Like trapped on the sidelines

I asked you for fairy tales

Like the sea of Atlantis

I'm scared and I admit it

I've been waiting for months

Now I'm changing direction

But I'm not changing my intention

I have nothing to say

I want to get off the sidelines

At least try to understand

How much it hurts to leave

I'll be there waiting for you

On the other side of the world

Now I'm changing direction

But I'm not changing my intention

I'm just in more of a hurry

With my hands in my pocket

And your keys always in my purse, but come on

Don't turn away this time too

I see everything in your eyes

I don't need more

I keep asking myself if I'm the one who's wrong

If I wasted time and didn't dedicate everything to you

But now I know what to do

I know where I have to go

I have to get used to it

I was lost in a vortex

Like trapped on the sidelines

I asked you for fairy tales

Like the sea of Atlantis

I'm scared and I admit it

I've been waiting for months

Now I'm changing direction

But I'm not changing my intention

I have nothing to say

I want to get off the sidelines

At least try to understand

How much it hurts to leave

I'll be there waiting for you

On the other side of the world

Now I'm changing direction

But I'm not changing my intention

SONG MEANING

Have you ever felt completely lost in a relationship, asking for a fairy tale that just couldn't come true? That's the powerful feeling at the heart of Sarah Toscano's song, "Atlantide". The title itself is a huge clue: Atlantis is the famous lost city under the sea. In the song, the singer realizes she was searching for a love as mythical and perfect as this legendary place, a beautiful "favola" (fairy tale) that was impossible to find.

She describes feeling stuck "in un vortice" (in a vortex) and trapped on the sidelines of her own life. The song captures her journey from this confusion to a moment of clarity. She makes the brave decision to "cambio direzione" (change direction), even though she admits how much it hurts to leave. But here's the twist: while her path is changing, her "intenzione" (intention) or feelings remain. It's a moving story about finding the courage to save yourself, even when your heart is still holding on.
