Fantasia
Samadhi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quando tu sei
senza una lira in tasca, che fai?

quando non hai
una ragazza tutta per te

quando non c'è
nessuno a casa che dice: ciao!

fai come me!
che chiudo gli occhi e parlo con Lei!!!!

Lei, che dipinge di verde per me...

Quando non vuoi
della benzina dentro il caffè

se sentirai
le frasi assurde delle reclams

La fantasia t'aiuterà...
resta soltanto lei...
la fantasia ti porterà
dove vuoi...

vedrai dei negri di New York
nei bar
sarai nel mare dove l'acqua
è blu

Quando non vuoi
sentire in piazza tante bugie

e quando poi
vedrai le case messe all'ingiù...

La fantasia t'aiuterà
ma poi ti sveglierai
prendi uno specchio e guarda un po'
chi sei tu

prendi la scopa e va a New York
nei bar





riporta al mare il suo colore
blu...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Samadhi's song Fantasia are primarily about the power of imagination and how it allows individuals to escape reality and find solace in a world that they have created for themselves. The song's opening verse asks what one does when they are poor and have no woman, and when no one is home to greet them. The singer of the song suggests that they talk to their imagination, which they refer to as "Lei".


The second verse speaks of one's desire to not have gas in their coffee and not wanting to hear the absurdities of commercials. In situations like these, they claim that one's imagination will help them, and it is the only thing that can take them wherever they wish. They suggest that imagination can take listeners to New York's black bars and blue waters.


In the final verse, the song speaks of not wanting to listen to lies and feeling helpless when faced with destruction. They suggest again that one's imagination is the only remedy in such situations. However, they remind listeners that they will eventually wake up to reality and need to look in the mirror and face themselves. They suggest that instead of running away to New York, one should clean up their house and restore the beach's color to blue.
