Surprise
For this world
For this world
For this world that change
Do you Know?
Surprise
Uoh yeh
Surprise
For this world
For this world
For this world hat change
Do you Know?
Surprise
Uoh yeh
Ora guardo il mondo
Vedo forse che stiamo viaggiando all′inverso
Io vorrei vivere
Sopravvivere
Senza chiedere
Mai mai mai
C'è qualcuno che da qualche parte
Qualcosa sta già preparando
Odio
Ingiustizia
Suprusi
Violenza
Questa storia non parla di noi
Parla solo e soltanto di storie già dette
Do you know?
Surprise
For this world

For this world that change
Do uou know?

Qualcosa sta già preparando
Odio
Ingiustizia
Suprusi
Violenza
Questa storia non parla di noi
Parla solo e soltanto di storie già dette
The song "Surprise" by Jovine opens with a series of questions posed to the listener: "Do you know? Surprise. For this world, for this world that changes." The repetition of these lines creates a sense of urgency, as if the singer is trying to alert the listener to something important. The subsequent lines – "Now I look at the world, and I see that maybe we're travelling in reverse." – suggest that this urgency is due to a feeling that the world is headed in the wrong direction. The singer then expresses a desire to "live, survive, without ever asking for anything." This line is repeated several times, emphasizing the importance of self-sufficiency and resilience.
The second half of the song contains a similar message about the need to prepare for an uncertain future. The lines "There is someone, somewhere, preparing something. Hatred, injustice, abuse, violence. This story doesn't talk about us, it only talks about stories that have already been told" suggest that the singer is aware of a looming threat or danger, but is also aware that they are not alone in facing it. Despite this, the singer maintains a sense of hope and optimism, as evidenced by the repeat of "Do you know? Surprise" and the final line, "To try to live, survive, without ever asking for anything."
Overall, "Surprise" is a song that advocates for self-sufficiency, resilience, and awareness in the face of a changing and uncertain world. The repetition of key phrases, the urgent tone of the lyrics, and the evocative repetition of certain words (such as "surprise") all work together to create a powerful message of hope, caution, and resilience.
