See Emily Play
Michele Bravi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Emily tries but misunderstands
She's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow

There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for may
Soon after dark Emily cries
Gazing through trees in sorrow, hardly a sound till tomorrow

There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for may

Put on a gown that touches the ground
Float on a river forever and ever
Emily, Emily

There is no other day
Let's try it another way




You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for may

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Michele Bravi's song "See Emily Play" tell a story of a girl named Emily who struggles with understanding and following through with her own dreams. She always seems to rely on borrowing someone else's dreams until tomorrow, indicating a sense of procrastination or delay. The first two lines imply that Emily often has good intentions but lacks the ability to see them through.


The chorus repeats the idea that "there is no other day" and suggests that Emily needs to take action to move forward. It urges her to try a different way and to free herself from mental constraints that are holding her back. She needs to let go of her inhibitions and embrace a new approach to life.


The second verse describes Emily crying silently in the darkness, gazing beyond the trees in sorrow. This imagery paints a sad picture of a young girl lost in her own thoughts and emotions. The final stanza suggests that Emily needs to put on a gown that touches the ground and float on a river forever and ever. This may be a metaphorical image that speaks to her needing to embrace her femininity and let herself go, to give up control and just let life take her where it may.


Overall, the lyrics to "See Emily Play" seem to express a sense of frustration with indecisiveness and uncertainty. Emily is struggling to find herself and needs to take action to move forward. The song conveys a message of hope, however, that there is always another way to approach life and find happiness.

È da qui che nasce il soprannome "TESORINO"♥

Vincenzo Guarcello

era sempre in anticipo nel ritornello, ma ha fatto sempre lo stesso errore... tanto k quando l'ho sentito (prima k confessasse di aver sbagliato) pensavo k fosse stata una scelta fatta di proposito cn morgan hahah

Cieli Neri

mica male riuscire a far sembrare un errore come scelta stilistica, è un talento anche quello ahah comunque, nella versione registrata per l'EP è a tempo giusto ;)

sentirla senza vedere tutto l'ambaradam di scenografia che hanno fatto in studio fa perdere molto alla canzone. Nell'insieme mi era piaciuta, ma forse la scenografia serviva a distogliere l'attenzione

Alessandro Mazzetto

de is no ade dei...

Aleksander Bartkiewicz

What the fuck is it?

Che merda, gente simile non dovrebbe nemmeno pensare di poter cantare le canzoni di Syd e dei Pink Floyd.

Francesco Androni

Non so nemmeno come ci sono capitata su questo orrore...sentire una canzone di Syd interpretata in questo modo mi fa male al cuore...
Fanculo a lui e chi gliel'ha fatta "cantare" non hanno il senso del ridicolo oltre al fatto che è un offesa mortale a Syd...

Paride Moz

Con quella base poi sembra la sigla dei teletabbis
