LDA and Aka 7even, “Santa”: meaning and lyrics of the song
A bit like Clandestine Poems, Holy takes shape from the human connection, even before the artistic one, between LDA And Aka 7evencurrently busy – around Italy – with theirs First and Last Dance – Summer Tour 2026.
The song opens with a dal sound Latin rhythmin which the lightness of music collides with a more emotional and reflective dimension. In fact, the text is crossed by a subtle melancholywith simple and everyday images that manage to paint small snapshots of a relationship that has ended, but which still lives on in details and memories.
Holy it is therefore based on a stark contrast between the musicwhich recalls summer atmospheres, dancing on the beach and bonfires under the stars, and the textwhich gives voice to a intimate and suspended storywhich talks about a bond that is difficult to break despite everything.
LYRICS OF THE SONG
How bad it hurts
when the asphalt burns
and I walk barefoot to come to you
My soul, you dance the libertango
to forget about missteps
what you did
a coffee lands on your lips
give me a kiss that makes me want to
I'm just an innocent liar who has no doubts
but tell me why
To make you, to make you,
to make you a saint
you chose to blame me
but the night knows the secrets of a man who swears
to get away with it
I simply come back to you
while you sleep hugging the pain
the worst there is
to do you, to do you, to do you
holy
It's starting to rain in the ashtray
there's a butt, I'll smoke it
I'm becoming apathetic since you left
xxx that you will return
what a thrill is, without you, I don't know
two tears, a coffee, a turn of the music box
there is still your perfume in the north wind
but the more I blow, the further away life is
a coffee lands on your lips
give me a kiss that makes me want to
I'm just an innocent liar who has no doubts
but tell me why
But what do you want from me
let's forget about it
coming to pray to you will not be enough
to make you a saint
To make you, to make you,
to make you a saint
you chose to blame me
but the night knows the secrets of a man who swears
to get away with it
I simply come back to you
while you sleep hugging the pain
the worst there is
to make you a saint
But what do you want from me
let's forget about it
coming to pray to you will not be enough
to make you a saint
you chose to blame me
but the night knows the secrets of a man who swears
to get away with it
I simply come back to you
while you sleep hugging the pain
more intense than there is
to make you, to make you, to make you holy
The text of Holy it will be available starting Friday 8 May.
