Stop the World
Nomadi Lyrics

The song "Stop the world" by Nomadi is a poignant expression of a person's sense of displacement and detachment from the world around them. The lyrics express a deep sense of disconnection and a feeling of being lost in a world that has no place for them. The song's opening lines "Guarda nei tuoi occhi / Adesso dimmi cosa vedi / Un cuore che oramai / Non appartiene più" translate to "Look into your eyes / Now tell me what you see / A heart that no longer / Belongs".

The singer then goes on to express the feeling of weariness and exhaustion that comes from constantly chasing one's thoughts and dreams, which the line "E insegui i tuoi pensieri a testa in giù" (And you chase your thoughts upside down) conveys. The repeated plea to "stop the world now" reflects the desire to stop the chaotic whirl of daily life and find some peace and solace.

In the chorus, the singer turns to the listener and asks them to look into their eyes and tell them what is left of a life without dreams and love. The final lines "Puoi trovare una risposta / Fermiamo questo mondo adesso" (You can find an answer / Let's stop this world now) call for a collective action to find meaning and purpose in life and slow down the rush of the world.
