La strada
Alibia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sulla strada del ritorno
costante movimento
continuo lieve movimento
Quanta pena
nel guardare
cio' che accade intorno
ansia di arrivare
Polvere
nient'altro che polvere
Diminuisce la luce
giorno dopo giorno
svanisce piano la luce
E' impossibile sostenere
questi ritmi incandescenti
Ottenere piena soddisfazione
falsa convinzione
di trovare pace
Polvere
nient'altro che polvere
Muovendo in fretta i pensieri
cercando di non pensare
The lyrics to Alibia's song La Strada describe a sense of confusion and movement on the road back home. Memories are mixed up and the constant movement becomes a light and continuous motion. There is a feeling of sadness and anxiety in observing what is happening around them and a desperate desire to arrive and satisfy them. However, it seems impossible to keep up with this intense pace and these incandescent rhythms. The expectation of achieving complete satisfaction is false and it only leads to the illusion of finding peace. Dust, slowly dimming light, and thoughts moving fast all contribute to a feeling of chaos and instability.
The song is a reflection on the struggle to find meaning and fulfillment in life. One is always on the move, trying to achieve something, but the journey seems to always remain incomplete. The use of the metaphor of dust is symbolic of this transient and unstable nature of existence. The song's message seems to be that the pursuit of happiness and satisfaction can be an endless and exhausting journey, filled with ups and downs.
