La Troia
Silence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dance, girl
here before me
Dance with passion,
my Salome
The ice gets cooler
as the heat increases
You'll have to crawl
before tasting her kisses

You've got it all
Don't give it away
You've got it all
Niente rimarrà

Smooth movements
caress the dancefloor
She's a desert isle
worth being ship-wrecked for
She's welcome as a sin,
as sweet adrenalin
She's the most exciting game
even though you just cannot win

Watch her slide
beyond shame
Beyond false morale
so shallow, so vain
Where there is smoke
there's also fire
Wherever she is
there is desire

The stars - obstajajo samo še v glavi
The world - je okrogel, vendar z vogali




The blood - še ni voda, je pa na poti pravi
Welcome to your life - v vnaprej izgubljeni stavi

Overall Meaning

The song "La Troia" by Silence is a seductive and captivating piece that tells the story of a woman that is so irresistible, that men can't help falling for her. The lyrics describe her charm and power, with the singer inviting the listener to dance with her Salome, a reference to the biblical character who danced for the head of John the Baptist. The line "The ice gets cooler as the heat increases" suggests that the more intense the attraction, the more crystalline and cold the woman becomes, an intriguing paradox.


The lyrics also highlight the idea of temptation and the danger of giving oneself to it. The line "You'll have to crawl before tasting her kisses" implies that the woman is demanding and that whoever wants to be with her must submit to her will. However, the chorus serves as a stark warning not to give in entirely, as "You've got it all, don't give it away, niente rimarrà" (you have everything, don't give it away, nothing will remain). These bold lyrics contrast with the themes of the music, which are smooth and sultry, adding to the complexity and allure of the song.


Overall, "La Troia" is a unique and intriguing piece of music, that plays with themes of seduction, temptation, and power, while delivering a message of caution that is not without ambiguity.
