“Occhi Lucidi” paints the inner monologue of someone who feels like an extra in the film of their own life. Ultimo moves from childhood courtyards to smoky bars, from imaginary movie sets to a fragile boat in the middle of the sea, asking himself why he keeps saying yes to everything while his real language stays unspoken. In each scene he discovers the same contradiction: we all have “occhi forti e cuori fragili” — strong eyes that face the world and delicate hearts that break easily. The chorus becomes a confession that he has “lived many lives in a single day,” yet still doesn’t know what is missing.
The song is ultimately a bittersweet love letter. He wishes he could step outside his own body just to orbit the person he loves, checking in with a simple “come stai?” He remembers promising dreams he couldn’t deliver, realizing too late that she was willing to give him everything. With a swelling melody and raw vocal cracks, Ultimo captures that moment when laughter fades, words fail, and only glossy, tear-filled eyes remain. “Occhi Lucidi” reminds listeners that behind every confident gaze lies a heart that longs to be understood — and that admitting our vulnerability is what makes us human.
