Era
Giovanni Tropini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dimmi che nulla è vero
Ogni secondo diventa eterno
Dimmi che niente è sincero
Questi tempi sono inganni
Fammi andare avanti
Non vedo luce, solo malanni
Rinforzami con i tuoi canti
O forse questa è la via
Era in cui sono
Era tutto un sogno
E dalla mia Era io mi nascondo
Mio bastone, mia lama
Quanto costa un segno
Lacera il tempo la realtà è grama
Ogni uomo è fuori di senno
Se il mondo è ormai perso
Donami poco intelletto
Alla forza io sono avverso
Sarò idoneo al tuo cospetto
Era meglio prima
O forse questa è la via
Era in cui sono
Era tutto un sogno
E dalla mia Era io mi nascondo
Era una dea
Degli inganni la regina
Era il perdono
Era non ho sonno
E nella mia Era io mi nascondo
The lyrics to Giovanni Tropini's song, Era, speak of a person's desire to retreat from reality and seek solace from their problems in a sort of alternate reality, which they refer to as "Era." The song's persona addresses their "dea," meaning "goddess" or "divine muse," and implores her to help them escape from the harshness of the world they see around them, where everything is a lie and nothing is sincere. They beg her to make each passing moment feel eternal and give them strength to carry on, even when everything feels overwhelming.
The persona of the song goes on to reflect on the idea that things were better in the past or maybe this is just the path they have to take. They continue to say that they hide in their own Era, where they are safe from the world's troubles. The lyrics mention a stick and a blade and ask for help in coping with the harshness of reality. The lyrics are full of symbolism and metaphors, making it difficult to determine a single meaning for the song, but it is clear that the character in the song is in distress and seeking a way out. The final lines say that Era was a queen of deception and that Era was the moment that the persona is living in, which they refer to as a dream world.
