Text and meaning of Two weeksthe new single by Septemberout soon for Island of Artists / Warner Music Italy.
The Neapolitan singer-songwriter returns with new music and presented the song as a preview on the stage of TIM Summer Hitsbroadcast on Rai 1. It is the first piece of a new recording season, after a 2025 marked by the triumph among the New Proposals of the Sanremo 2025 Festival with Vertebraefrom a first EP of the same name and from a series of concerts in the main cities.
In 2025 September he hasn't released any new music, but we saw him perform during the final of Sanremo Youth and guest at the concert of Nicolò Filippucci. With Two weeks a new chapter now opens.
September – Two weeks: the meaning of the song
Two weeks it tells the tail of a finished story, that suspended time in which you try to behave as if nothing had happened while inside it's not like that. The “as if it were nothing to you” repeated is the mask of forced indifference, the attempt to minimize a bond that instead weighed heavily.
The heart of the song lies in the contrast between the duration of a love and its end: “loving each other for a year and two weeks”. Those two extra weeks become the image of what remains afterwards, the aftermath, the time that cannot be clearly closed. The images are concrete and everyday: the nights saying I love you on the lawns, the Sundays at dinner with her mother. Details that make the end even rougher, because they are linked to the normality of a relationship.
September thus confirms the intimate and direct writing that got him noticed, built on precise details and unfiltered emotion.
The video of Two weeks
The song is accompanied by a video which, as has already happened in the past for Septembertakes inspiration from major international trends. This time the singer-songwriter crosses the city sitting on an armchair mounted on a scooter, an alienating image that plays with the contrast between the everyday life of the text and the absurd dimension of the staging.
The text of Two weeks (preview)
Below are the verses of the song released in preview, awaiting the official release of the single.
every night telling each other I love you over the meadows
and after two weeks
do as if
as if it were nothing to you
and dinners with your mother on Sundays
but after two weeks
do as if
as if it were nothing to you
shout at us
which is not normal
love each other for a year
and two weeks
If they weren't true
as if, as if
if it were nothing to you
and on Sundays against traffic
then after two weeks
Do as if
as if it were nothing to you
and shout at us
which is not normal
love each other for a year
and two weeks
In the text September he works above all on the contrast between the intensity of a relationship and the coldness with which it is archived. The repetition of “as if it were nothing to you” becomes the pivot of the piece, more interested in fixing that sense of suspension than in closing the story with an answer.
