Carne Fresca
Afterhours Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fai ciò che devi
non guardare mai giù
perchè sei ciò che vedi
se c'è un senso sei tu
E tutto è tranquillo
intorno a te
Sei carne fresca
non so dirti perchè

Ma è dentro te che sei solo
E' dentro te che sei re
Tutto è calmo
intorno a te

Tutto è calmo
intorno a me

Overall Meaning

In Afterhours's song "Carne Fresca," the lyrics describe a feeling of self-doubt and isolation. The lines "Fai ciò che devi, non guardare mai giù" encourage the singer to keep moving forward and not dwell on negative thoughts, but the idea that "sei carne fresca" - that he is fresh meat or vulnerable - creates a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty. The lyrics suggest that the singer is searching for a sense of purpose or meaning, as indicated by "se c'è un senso sei tu" - if there is meaning, it is within oneself.

The repetition of "tutto è tranquillo intorno a te" - everything is calm around you - contrasts with the inner turmoil that the singer is experiencing. The lyrics "Ma è dentro te che sei solo, È dentro te che sei re" suggest that the singer is struggling with feelings of loneliness, but also has a sense of inner strength and resilience. Ultimately, the song creates a sense of tension between the external calmness and the internal struggle of the singer.
