Fitness Forever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Probabilmente
Stasera sei più imbarazzata di me
Probabilmente
Se vuoi fare qualcosa io non lo so
Se hai un appuntamento puoi discuterne un po'
Probabilmente
Chi ha detto che lui sia migliore di me
Allora mente
E se tutto ad un tratto io me ne andrò
So che probabilmente poi mi annoierei un po'
Probabilmente
Probabilmente
E se improvvisamente io me ne andrò
Piuttosto che aspettare avrei alcune cose da realizzare
Perdonami
Piuttosto che aspettare avrei alcune cose da realizzare
Perdonami
Perdonami
The song "Probabilmente" by Fitness Forever is a melancholic and reflective piece that speaks of unrequited love and the fear of missed opportunities. The first two lines set the tone for the rest of the song: "Ognuno ha pensato qualcosa di te, Probabilmente" (Everybody has thought something about you, Probably). The singer is clearly fixated on someone, but it seems like the feelings are not reciprocal. Despite this fact, the singer still wishes to spend time with the object of their affection, even if it means discussing their plans or appointments for the day. However, the singer also admits that they are able to keep their distance from this person, possibly out of fear of rejection or embarrassment.
In the second verse, the singer expresses their jealousy of someone else who may be vying for the attention of the person they are fixated on: "Chi ha detto che lui sia migliore di me, Allora mente" (Whoever said that he's better than me is lying). The singer's insecurities and doubts about their own worthiness as a potential partner are evident in this line, as they try to convince themselves that they are just as good as anyone else. The chorus repeats the word "Probabilmente" (Probably), emphasizing the uncertainty and doubt that surrounds the singer's thoughts and feelings.
The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer considers what might happen if they were to leave the situation behind: "E se tutto ad un tratto io me ne andrò, So che probabilmente poi mi annoierei un po', Probabilmente" (And if I were to suddenly leave, I know that I would probably be bored for a while, Probably). This line suggests that the singer is stuck in a kind of limbo, unable to move forward with their feelings but also unwilling to let go. In the end, the singer acknowledges that they have their own dreams and goals to pursue, even if it means leaving the object of their affection behind: "Piuttosto che aspettare avrei alcune cose da realizzare, Perdonami" (Rather than wait, I have some things to do, Forgive me).
Overall, "Probabilmente" is a deeply introspective and emotional song that captures the complex feelings of unrequited love and the fear of missed opportunities. It is a testament to the power of music to express the unspeakable and make us feel understood, even in our most vulnerable moments.
