The lyrics of Stiliti's song "Vivo" express the speaker's emotional dependence on their loved one, to the point where they feel lost and aimless without them. The opening lines ("Vivo con i problemi che il tempo porta via lontano da me / Non lascio trapelare emozioni mai") suggest a sense of detachment from the world around them, as if the speaker is holding back their true feelings and simply going through the motions of life. However, they admit that when things get tough, they think only of their loved one ("Vivo pensando solo a te / Vivo chiedendomi perché"), and can't imagine living without them ("Perché vivo per te perché vivo con te / Perché vivo per restare sempre insieme a te").

The refrain of the song reinforces this idea of emotional entanglement: "Vivo vivo vivo insieme a te", or "I live, live, live together with you." Even when the speaker feels depressed or betrayed ("Se cado in depressione perché non ci sei / Se scopro che un amico mi ha criticato"), they turn to their loved one for comfort and support. The song ends with the speaker repeating the phrase "Vivo" several times, almost as if trying to convince themselves that they can make it through life as long as they have their partner by their side.
