The music has always been the center of gravity in the life of the Levant. "I started singing as a child," says the same Sun, "like all children improvised melodies and words with their eyes to the sky ... With the same eyes pointed toward the sky, years later I found it in the music my salvation, my outlet, my diary, my freedom. "
Around to eleven Levante began writing the first word, inspired by simple melodies that could compose with the guitar. "It was really a diary for me, music and sometimes I let a few trusted family member to read it," so goes the rocker Catania, "And that's how they found me at home, that passion that perhaps he was looking for a way to present itself to the public. " It was Aunt Tiziana, hit by a lot of enthusiasm, to bring to the pounding grandson of the first test.
But in 2001, from the beloved Sicilian sky Levante had to move down to Turin, to be honest not so fragrant orange blossoms and azure as the sky of Sicily, but certainly very challenging from a musical standpoint. In Turin in fact the teenager Levante has grown musically and knew his traveling companions ... The ephemeris.
For Levante Ephemeris are the landmark musical. A little 'as the North Star for the sailors. On stage or in the recording studio with them behind Levante know that you always have the right "shot" in his performances. But the ephemeris are a lot more. In the best tradition of rock share her passion, enthusiasm, laughter, miles and sandwiches ...

Quanta strada devo fare ancora
Abbuffarmi di coraggio, digerire la paura
Come quando io davanti a te
Con le mani in tasca a fare niente
Ti ho parlato dei miei viaggi per sembrare interessante
E per morire adesso ho cancellato in un secondo
Ogni mio gesto più profondo
Così ti ho ucciso, amore
Ti ho consegnato il tuo dolore
Ed io, mi nutrirò del tuo rancore
E tu rinascerai senza perdonarmi mai
Senza perdonarmi
Ho corso a perdi fiato per vederti respirare
Per sperare mi sputassi in faccia il cuore
Quanto ho fatto male a questo amore
È vero, io l'ho ucciso sul serio
Ed ero fuori di me, fuori di me
Ero fuori di me, di me
Mentre dormi qui di fianco a me
Quanta strada abbiamo fatto ora
Abituarci alla bellezza, lo stupore una memoria
Come quando tu davanti a me
A cercare di cambiar le stelle
Con Saturno nei gemelli
Potrà piovere per sempre
Poi ti ho ucciso, amore
Ti ho consegnato il tuo dolore
Ed io mi nutrirò del tuo rancore
E tu rinascerai senza perdonarmi mai
Senza perdonarmi
Ho corso a perdi fiato per vederti respirare
Per sperare mi sputassi in faccia il cuore
Quanto ho fatto male a questo amore
È vero, io l'ho ucciso sul serio
Ed ero fuori di me, ero fuori di me
Ero fuori di me, di me
The lyrics to Levante's song "Saturno" explore themes of love, self-destruction, and emotional turmoil. In the first stanza, the singer reflects on the distance between themselves and their loved one, symbolizing the effort required to bridge the gap in their relationship. The mention of "abbuffarmi di coraggio, digerire la paura" (feasting on courage, digesting fear) suggests a struggle with inner demons and the need to confront vulnerabilities in order to connect authentically with the other person. The singer recalls pretending to be more interesting than they are, engaging in superficial conversations to impress their partner, ultimately feeling exposed and defeated by love's complexities.
The second paragraph delves into the destructive nature of the singer's actions, as they admit to "uccidere" (killing) their lover and inflicting pain upon them. The imagery of running breathlessly to witness their partner's response, hoping for rejection, captures the desperation and self-sabotaging tendencies present in the relationship. The repetition of being "fuori di me" (out of my mind) conveys a sense of emotional chaos and losing control in the intensity of love, leading to regret and the acknowledgement of causing harm.
As the lyrics progress, the narrative shifts to a moment of intimacy and vulnerability between the singer and their partner as they lie side by side. The mention of "a cercare di cambiar le stelle con Saturno nei gemelli" (trying to rearrange the stars with Saturn in the twins) symbolizes the futile attempt to alter fate or control the course of their love. The cycle of destruction and renewal is echoed as the singer acknowledges once again their role in causing pain and resentment, leading to a cycle of hurt and rebirth that may never be fully resolved.
In conclusion, the lyrics of "Saturno" by Levante paint a poignant portrait of a tumultuous and self-destructive love affair, marked by moments of connection, despair, and the inability to escape the cyclical nature of pain and forgiveness. The singer's internal struggle with their own shortcomings, desires, and destructive tendencies is laid bare, ultimately culminating in a complex and raw exploration of the complexities of human relationships and the enduring impact of our actions on those we love.
Line by Line Meaning
Mentre sogno di arrivare a te
While I envision reaching out to you
Quanta strada devo fare ancora
How much more distance must I still cover
Abbuffarmi di coraggio, digerire la paura
To overindulge in courage, stomach my fears
Come quando io davanti a te
Just like the times I stood before you
Con le mani in tasca a fare niente
With my hands in my pockets, doing nothing
Ti ho parlato dei miei viaggi per sembrare interessante
I shared tales of my journeys to appear intriguing
E per morire adesso ho cancellato in un secondo
And in a moment of despair, I've erased everything
Ogni mio gesto più profondo
All my innermost actions
Mi hai reso vana, dando un bacio a un estraneo
You've made me feel futile, kissing a stranger
Così ti ho ucciso, amore
In this way, I have metaphorically killed you, my love
Ti ho consegnato il tuo dolore
I have handed you your own suffering
Ed io, mi nutrirò del tuo rancore
And I will feed off your resentment
E tu rinascerai senza perdonarmi mai
And you will be reborn, never forgiving me
Senza perdonarmi
Without granting me forgiveness
Ho corso a perdi fiato per vederti respirare
I have run out of breath just to see you breathe
Per sperare mi sputassi in faccia il cuore
Hoping you would spit your heart in my face
Quanto ho fatto male a questo amore
How much harm I've inflicted upon this love
È vero, io l'ho ucciso sul serio
It's true, I have truly ended it
Ed ero fuori di me, fuori di me
And I was out of my mind, out of my mind
Ero fuori di me, di me
I was not myself, not myself
Mentre dormi qui di fianco a me
While you sleep next to me
Quanta strada abbiamo fatto ora
How far we have come now
Abituarci alla bellezza, lo stupore una memoria
Getting used to beauty, making wonder a memory
Come quando tu davanti a me
Just like when you stood before me
A cercare di cambiar le stelle
Trying to change the stars
Con Saturno nei gemelli
With Saturn in Gemini
Potrà piovere per sempre
It may rain forever
Poi ti ho ucciso, amore
Then I have metaphorically killed you, my love
Ti ho consegnato il tuo dolore
I have given you back your pain
Ed io mi nutrirò del tuo rancore
And I will survive off your bitterness
E tu rinascerai senza perdonarmi mai
And you will rise again, never forgiving me
Senza perdonarmi
Without ever forgiving me
Ho corso a perdi fiato per vederti respirare
I have exhausted myself just to witness your breath
Per sperare mi sputassi in faccia il cuore
Wishing you would bare your feelings to me
Quanto ho fatto male a questo amore
The extent of the damage I've inflicted on this love
È vero, io l'ho ucciso sul serio
It's true, I have indeed destroyed it
Ed ero fuori di me, ero fuori di me
And I was completely lost in my own chaos
Ero fuori di me, di me
I was not in myself, not in my senses
