Kaia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
per cavoli miei
un perchи non c'и
io ho staccato
giа la spina e sono via
e che farт non so
mi lascio vivere
sdraiato, nudo cosi
io invece no, io no, io no, io sto
Solo
cosideratemi sparito per un po'
ho cacellato questo giorno gli altri no
e voglio scordarmi tutto
non fare nessun progetto
solo
consideratemi blindato a casa mia
sotto la doccia che i pesieri porta via
a cantare dietro la radio
o a fermare un'idea
io, cosм
mi ricarico un po'
si perт
non и con voi che ce l'ho
uno nn и niente
se l'altra gente non s'accorge che c'и
e io questo lo so
ma oggi no, io no, io no, io sto
Solo consideratemi sparito per un po'
ho cancellato questo giorno gli altri no
pensatemi che disegno
o semlicemente sogno
solo!
E poi camminare scalzo
sui resti di un giorno perso
un morso di vita и andato via
Solo
consideratemi sparito per un po'
ma non ci sto a guardare il mondo da un oblт
e voglio scendere per strada come sempre
cercare, la gente
consideratemi sparito per un po'
ho cancellato solo un giorno gli altri no
che rinunciare neanchea un'ora non si puт
io no, io no
The Italian lyrics of Kaia's song "Lines" talk about the singer's desire to be left alone for some time, maybe a day, so that she can recharge herself without having to worry about anything else. She states how she has disconnected herself from everything and is taking things as they come without making any plans. While some people cannot live in isolation and need company, she is not one of them and can take time off whenever she wants and live without any interference. Though she knows that people will not acknowledge her existence if she doesn't put herself out there, she is willing to take that risk. Kaia also talks about how she spends her time alone, either daydreaming or singing along to the radio in the shower.

A bite of life has gone away
ma non ci sto a guardare il mondo da un oblт

And I want to go out on the street like always
che rinunciare neanchea un'ora non si puт
I can't give up, not even for an hour

Not me, not me
