In 1971, the band collaborated with composer Luis Enriquez Bacalov for Concerto grosso per i New Trolls, which is generally regarded as their best release. Further personnel changes and a move to a heavier rock sound resulted in the band splitting in two, legal disagreements over the use of the name, and the formation of Ibis and New Trolls Atomic System (with two albums each). By 1975, the parties had reconciled enough to come back together under the original name for Concerto grosso n°2.
Since that time, the band has broken up, reformed with varying personnel, and tried a variety of styles. New Trolls members have been involved in a variety of other bands, including Latte e Miele, Nuova Idea, Nova, and De Piscopo.

Bright lights, on my way
Bright lights, on my way
Bright lights, go away
Bright lights, shine on me
Bright lights, in the night
Bright lights, all we find
Bright lights, all we find
Bright lights, on my way
Bright lights, on my way
Bright lights, on my way
Bright lights, go away
Bright lights, shine on me
Bright lights, in the night
Bright lights, all we find
Bright lights, all we find
Bright lights, on my way
Bright lights, on my way
Bright lights, on my way
Bright lights, go away
Bright lights, shine on me
Bright lights, in the night
Bright lights, all we find
Bright lights, all we find
The lyrics of New Trolls' song "Bright Lights" seem to describe a person's journey through life. The person is represented by the repeated phrase "on my way," suggesting a sort of aimlessness or lack of direction. The bright lights also seem to represent the distractions and temptations that the person encounters along the way. These lights are both alluring and destructive, as they provide temporary pleasure but ultimately lead the person further from their goals. The refrain "go away" suggests a desire to escape from these distractions and return to a more focused path.
The repetition of the phrase "all we find" in the final stanza suggests that the person realizes they have been searching for meaning and fulfillment in the wrong places. The bright lights may have initially seemed like the answer, but ultimately they are empty and unfulfilling. The person seems to be longing for something deeper and more meaningful, but they have yet to find it.
Overall, "Bright Lights" is a commentary on the dangers of distraction and the search for true purpose and fulfillment. It is an introspective and contemplative song that encourages listeners to look beyond the immediate pleasures of life and consider what truly matters.
