Martina Attili,”Meloncholy“: meaning of the song lyrics
Available on all major streaming and download platforms from Friday 10 May, “Meloncholy” (ZooDischi, distribution ADA Music Italy) is the new single by Martina Attili.
In the song the young artist talks about an unlived relationship, the typical situationship in which both parties are aware of the fact that something is there, even if nothing concrete, but no one has the courage to take the first step.
And so the lack of clarity, the idealization of the other person and the unresolved doubts that arise from it culminate in a series of unanswered questions, in a succession of “and if I” and “and if you“, often more painful than the end of a real relationship.
MARTINA ATTILI, “MELANCHOLY”: meaning OF THE SONG
Accompanied by the piano and an essential but complete arrangement, Martina Attili returns with a song characterized by great emotional depth and a touching interpretation.
“I wrote Melancholy a few months ago. I knew there was something between me and the other person, but I never fully understood what it was. Releasing this song is my way of picking up where I left off.”
MARTINA ATTILI, “MELANCHOLY”: TEXT OF THE SONG
Put on another movie
I won't watch it
But I'll make the effort to watch
The tattoo on your forearm
And ask yourself what it means
Play another song
I know how to listen to those
Just to understand
What words would you like to hear
And what else is there to discover
In your mind
Among those books of yours
There is something I will never know
And it doesn't matter how much you read them
I can't get into your head
But what if I knew how to speak, not just look
Stay and listen from a corner
Everything you do
And if you
If I knew how to defuse and also understand that part of what I think
It's not completely meaningless
What if I
I would stop getting attached
To a story that was never mine
And learn to let go of this melancholy
This melancholy
Tell me another story
But then be patient
And don't mind it
The petals scattered on the ground
Once they belonged to a flower
Once they belonged to a heart
If you give me some water
I'll recover
And I will grow strong enough
Big enough
So that you never have to be ashamed of me
But what if I knew how to speak, not just look
Stay and listen from a corner
Everything you do
And if you
If I knew how to defuse and also understand that part of what I think
It's not completely meaningless
What if I
I would stop getting attached
To a story that was never mine
And learn to let go of this melancholy
This melancholy
This melancholy
This melancholy
This melancholy
This melancholy
I will be able to pretend I don't know who you are
Like that time at the station
Or during a conversation
I will know how to pretend I didn't feel anything
It works perfectly for me anyway
Pretend pretend pretend pretend just to make you stay
But if you
If I could for a second
Forget about the world around us
And also what is inside you
For me
All this would be perfect because
I have a bed at home in Milan
You, like the rest of the world, seem very far away
