Sonata
Gigi D'Agostino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mind runs free
Dont wait for me
I must try
Must understand
Suddenly pretend
To find the way
Lo live my way
With or without
Your certainty
Your sweet embrace
That holds me tight
So i'm blind
'Cos i can't see
What it means to be
Alone... Alone
To face my own mistakes
Or evenmore my own fate
With or without
The guarantee
That everyday
I can survive
So i'm blind
'Cos i can't see
What it means to be
Alone... Alone
To face my own mistakes
Or evenmore my own fate
With or without
A friend to share
The fantasy
Of all my dreams
So i'm blind
'Cos i can't see
What it means to be
Alone... Alone
To face my own mistakes
Or evenmore my own fate
With or without
A world to see
Someone to love
That cares for me
So i'm blind
'Cos i can't see
What it means to be
Alone... Alone
To face my own mistakes
Or evenmore my own fate
The lyrics to Gigi d'Agostino's song "Sonata in 2-3" describe someone who is struggling with the idea of being alone. The repetition of the phrase "Don't wait for me" hints at the singer's awareness that they are not easy to be around. The line "My mind runs free" suggests a desire for independence and self-discovery, but the singer also recognizes that this path is not without its challenges.
The chorus of the song, "With or without your certainty, your sweet embrace that holds me tight," juxtaposes the desire for companionship with the fear of losing oneself in the process. The singer acknowledges their own blindness in not being able to fully comprehend what it means to be alone, especially when facing one's own mistakes or fate.
Ultimately, the song seems to be a reflection on the complexities of human relationships and the difficulty of finding a balance between independence and connection. It is a poignant reminder that no matter how much we rely on others, we must ultimately face our own fate alone.
