Barricate
270bis Lyrics

In "Barricate" by 270bis, the lyrics are expressing the intense emotions experienced during a revolution. The first line, "Un'alba rossa sale su di me" (A red dawn rises on me), depicts a new day dawning with revolution and rebellion in the air. The singer's "wings" (possibly symbolizing freedom) are tired, but they continue to fight with homemade Molotov cocktails, which set their cheeks ablaze with passion. The smoke from burning cars is like a caress on their legs, adding to the surreal feeling of being in the middle of a revolution. The fire on the streets of the city is juxtaposed with love between the barricades, reminding us that in times of revolution, people come together and unite for a cause.

The last line "E ci sei tu vicino a me" (And you are next to me) is another important element of the song. It represents the idea that even when the world is falling apart around us, we still find love and hope in unexpected places. Even though the situation is dangerous and uncertain, the singer finds solace and strength in their lover's presence. The whole song is a powerful anthem of rebellion and love, of passion and bravery in the midst of chaos.
