Loto Nero
Nick Sick Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Conta in quanti pezzi vado
Quando non guarda nessuno
Non raccoglierli a mani nude
Che ti taglierai
Sei come neve pallida e fredda
Aspetto che una lacrima scenda
Abbraccia ancora la mia anima spenta

Ah! Ah! Vai via da me (da me, da me, da me)
Vai via da me (da me, da me, da me)
Non mi salverai prima che cada
Mi perderai sempre così
Non mi salverai prima che cada
Mi perderai sempre così

Nei tuoi sogni, nei tuoi occhi
Sarò solo uno sbaglio
Scava a fondo nel mio cuore
Solo fango

Vai via da me (da me, da me, da me)

Vai via da me (da me, da me, da me)
Vai via, vai via, vai via, vai via

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nick Sick’s “Loto Nero” paint a picture of a person on the edge. We see a sense of hopelessness and despair as they contemplate their fate. The song opens with the artist counting the pieces that they’re in, suggesting that they are fragmented or perhaps shattered. They describe how they feel invisible when no one is watching, and that they are not to be touched, as they might cut themselves.

The following lines depict the persona as a cold and pale individual, possibly in a state of depression or lethargy, waiting for a tear to drop. They yearn for someone to embrace their lifeless spirit. However, in the chorus, they beg for the person who keeps them captive to ‘leave them alone’ as there seems to be no way to save them. They know they will always be lost and that the person they’re pleading for will lose them eventually.

The last verse adds another layer to the pain endured by the persona as they realize that they are nothing more than a mistake in someone else’s eye. They invite the other person to dig deep into their heart, but all they will find is mud, reflecting the persona’s self-image. The lyrics are a poignant encapsulation of a person on the edge of giving up and not wanting to be saved. The chorus message of leaving them alone seems to point to the fact that the persona cannot be saved before their fall, only after.
