Lila
Devito Lyrics

The lyrics of Devito's song Lila depict a pensive and melancholic mood. The first stanza talks about how the lilies that had bloomed the previous year are blooming again in the sad flower beds. The second line goes on to say that even the peach trees have shed their thin branches' roses and covered the blue sky. In a manner characteristic of the Catholic festival of Corpus Christi, a young boy decorates the streets with flowers. In the next part, the singer talks about how he had hoped for something from his lover in the midst of white and pink orchards. However, the reality is that his soul still dreams on the lover's lap, silently hoping that she won't push him away. The last line of the stanza suggests her weakness and confusion when he's so intimately close to her.

The second stanza of the song continues to describe the relationship between the singer and his lover. He is well aware of her inherent weaknesses and faults, and he doesn't want to push her away because she may go away forever. The singer is deeply invested in the relationship, and he is afraid of losing her. The lyrics depict a portrait of a man who deeply loves a flawed woman but isn't afraid to love her in spite of her flaws. The song conveys the message of the vulnerability and fragility of love and how it can be sustained through misunderstandings and difficult times.
