Parole Diverse
Piero Pelù Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E dare spazio alle parole,
Se volessi
Potremmo anche accettare che
Siamo diversi
Tu ed io siamo nudi,
Di fronte a tutti i nostri vissuti,
Siamo diversi ma non ci siamo persi
Stiamo vivendo la stessa cosa,
La stiamo dicendo con parole diverse
Lo stesso amore, la stessa gabbia, lo stesso odore
Con parole diverse
Le parole siamo noi,
Carezze, pallottole...
E siamo come specchi e martelli dentro l'anima.
Siamo universi (siamo universi)
Dove ci siamo persi?
Stiamo vivendo la stessa cosa,
La stiamo dicendo con parole diverse
Lo stesso amore, la stessa gabbia, lo stesso odore
Con parole diverse
Lo stesso amore, la stessa rabbia,
Stiamo fuggendo con parole diverse
Parole diverse
Si', fa freddo a stare qui... a un passo da capirci...
The lyrics of Piero Pelù's song "Parole Diverse" talk about the differences between people in terms of experiences, opinions, and perspectives. The singer expresses a desire to listen and give space to words, and accepts the fact that he and the other person are different. The two people are described as being bare, stripped of all their experiences, and without any excuses for who they are. Despite being different, they have not lost each other.
The words they use are described as being them, whether they are words of affection or bullets. The singer sees himself and the other person as being like mirrors and hammers within the soul, and as universes where they have lost themselves. They are living the same thing, they feel the same love, captivity, and smell, but they express it with different words. They are running away from their troubles but still with different words. Overall, the song explores the idea that despite our individual differences, we all experience similar emotions and situations, and it is our words that make us unique.

We could also accept that
Siamo diversi
We are different
Tu ed io siamo nudi,
You and I are naked,
Di fronte a tutti i nostri vissuti,
In front of all our experiences,
E forse ora puoi capire che non ci sono alibi.
And maybe now you can understand that there are no excuses.
Siamo diversi ma non ci siamo persi
We are different but we haven't lost each other
Stiamo vivendo la stessa cosa,
We are living the same thing,
La stiamo dicendo con parole diverse
We are saying it with different words
Lo stesso amore, la stessa gabbia, lo stesso odore
The same love, the same cage, the same smell

Stiamo fuggendo con parole diverse
We are running away with different words

Different words
Si', fa freddo a stare qui... a un passo da capirci...
Yes, it's cold to be here... one step away from understanding each other...
