Enzo Avitabile Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
anyway
mi ritrovo a tu per tu
con i sogni miei
anyway
anyway
sarà questa la mia strada
non illuderti
io non cadrò
nella polvere (...)
di Hollywood
anyway
non resterò
un simpatico zulù
un souvenir
e non finisce qui
no
non finisce qui
no
anyway
anyway
anyway
questo rosso nelle mani
sarà il mio domani
anyway
a tu per tu
con la vita che è di qua
con l'aldilà
anyway
con la paura
che se scopri tutto in fretta
diventa dura
non finisce qui
no
oh, no, no
non finisce qui
no
anyway
anyway
anyway
anyway
non finisce qui
no
oh, no, no
non finisce qui
no

The lyrics of Enzo Avitabile's song "Anyway" are about facing one's dreams and fears head-on, without illusions or expectations of an easy path. The repetition of "anyway" emphasizes this determination to move forward despite the obstacles. Avitabile sings about being face to face with his own dreams, and how this will be his path regardless of any illusions or false hopes he might have. He refuses to be taken down by the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and won't settle for being a mere souvenir or a "nice Zulu" for others to admire.
The lyrics suggest that there is more to life than just what is in front of us. We must be prepared to face the unknown and overcome our fears. The line "with life on this side, and the afterlife on that side" also highlights that the journey is not limited to this physical world alone. The phrase "this red in my hands will be my tomorrow" can be interpreted as the artist's commitment to follow his passion, whatever the cost.
The overall message of the song seems to be one of resilience, determination, and self-belief. It encourages listeners to embrace their dreams, face their fears, and make their own path in life, no matter how difficult or uncertain the journey may be.
