Tancredi, “Worse Than This”: meaning of the song
The electronic dimension of the project emphasizes a sense of nihilism that leads, when one feels at a standstill, to the urgency to revolutionize the world around us.
And so we make radical decisions, we change cities to escape to a faraway place and we look for someone to share the burden of this emotional state and our paranoia.
“Worse Than This”: lyrics of the song
Stop and be quiet while Battisti goes
We are overthinking
Neither of them sleeps tonight
And with my own and you with your own (yours)
You don't know how much I would like to leave Milan
And escape to Australia
I'm always late
I eat less and less
I never come home
And now that I realize it
Of all the choices you are the most wrong
But when you talk to me
All the others are leaving
I have nothing to give you, but…
Please stay here
Because it can get worse than that
We die, we die, we die
I feel the world moving (moving)
My heart explodes too much (explodes too much)
Because it can get worse than that
A life to throw away
Baby, I want to throw it with you
You are a total mess
A thousand promises and not even one true true-true
You'll be gone forever
I know it perfectly well.
I spend sleepless nights drowning my problems
With half-dreams on the edge of the sidewalks
You say I'm everything you didn't want
I can go too, if you ask me
Please stay here
Because it can get worse than that
We die, we die, we die
I feel the world moving (moving)
My heart explodes too much (explodes too much)
Because it can get worse than that
We die, we die, we die
I feel the world moving (moving)
My heart explodes too much (explodes too much)
Why worse than this?
Take my days and then tear them to pieces
Throw all your failures in my face
That's fine with me
I'm staying here for now
That the worse, the worse you die
We die, we die, we die
I feel the world moving (moving)
My heart explodes too much (explodes too much)
Because it can get worse than that
We die, we die, we die
I feel the world moving (moving)
My heart explodes too much (explodes too much)
Why worse than this?
