2010
Skoob Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ma tu ci credi?
Sembrava ieri
Guardavi me come si guardano gli aerei
E io ci spero
Ma tu ci speri?
Per te farei tutta la tangenziale a piedi

E come mai, come mai, come mai

Non te ne vai più per Los Angeles?
Io ho così voglia di piangere

Sono felice quando piove
E noi cantiamo sotto voce
Ma se l'amore non esiste
Allora non esisti neanche tu

E come mai, come mai, come mai?
E come mai, come mai, come mai?

Ma siamo scemi?
Che cosa credi?
Ci siamo buttati giù da ventimila metri
E io ti penso ma
Ma tu ci pensi
A quanti anni avevi nel 2010?

E come mai, come mai, come mai
Non te ne vai più per Los Angeles?
Io ho così voglia di piangere

Sono felice quando piove
E noi cantiamo sotto voce
Ma se l'amore non esiste
Allora non esisti neanche tu
E sono triste quando piove
E tu mi fai aspettare ore
Ma se l'amore non esiste
Allora non esisti neanche tu

E come mai, come mai, come mai?
E come mai, come mai, come mai?

Ma a me va bene così
E non parliamoci più
Un cuore rotto a metà
Non si aggiusta con il Vinavil

E sono felice quando piove
E noi cantiamo sotto voce
Ma se l'amore non esiste
Allora non esisti neanche tu
E sono triste quando piove
E tu mi fai aspettare ore
Ma se l'amore non esiste

Allora non esisti neanche
Tu

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of Skoob's song "2010," the singer reflects on a past relationship filled with longing, introspection, and a sense of disillusionment. The opening lines express a sense of disbelief and nostalgia, questioning whether the listener still believes in the depth of the connection they once shared. The reference to watching each other like airplanes suggests a sense of admiration and distance, with the singer expressing hope that the listener still holds onto the same aspirations for the relationship as they do.

The repeated questioning of "Ma tu ci speri?" (Do you hope?) and the offer to walk the entire tangenziale (ring road) on foot for them convey a willingness to go to great lengths for love. The mention of Los Angeles serves as a symbol of escapism and a desire for a fresh start, highlighting the longing for a different reality beyond the current emotional turmoil. The desire to cry in the face of such longing and uncertainty is a raw and vulnerable moment, showcasing the singer's emotional depth.

The chorus, where the singer declares their happiness when it rains and sings softly with the listener, juxtaposes the bittersweet nature of love. The realization that if love does not exist, then perhaps neither does the person they are addressing, suggests a profound link between love and existence. The juxtaposition of joy and sadness in the rain symbolizes the complex emotions intertwined with love and the longing for a genuine connection.

As the lyrics delve deeper into memories and questions about the past, the singer wonders about the age of the listener in 2010, hinting at specific moments of significance in their shared history. The imagery of jumping together from twenty thousand meters and the pondering of whether the listener thinks about the singer evoke a sense of shared experiences and the weight of emotional baggage carried from the past. The repeated questioning of why the listener no longer leaves for Los Angeles hints at a desire for a new beginning and a way to escape the emotional turmoil.

In the final verses, the acceptance of the fractured nature of their relationship and the acknowledgment that a broken heart cannot be fixed with glue (Vinavil) reflect a sense of resignation and acceptance of the current state of affairs. The singer acknowledges their emotional ups and downs, finding solace in the rain and shared moments of singing, but ultimately realizing that without love, the essence of the other person may cease to exist. The song concludes with a poignant reflection on the impermanence of love and the impact it has on one's sense of self, culminating in a sense of melancholy and resignation.

Ma tu ci credi?
Do you believe in it?

Sembrava ieri
It seemed like yesterday

Guardavi me come si guardano gli aerei
You looked at me like one looks at airplanes

E io ci spero
And I hope for it

Ma tu ci speri?
But do you hope for it?

Per te farei tutta la tangenziale a piedi
For you, I would walk the entire bypass road on foot

E come mai, come mai, come mai
And why, why, why

Non te ne vai più per Los Angeles?
Don't you ever leave for Los Angeles anymore?

Io ho così voglia di piangere
I feel like crying so much

Sono felice quando piove
I am happy when it rains

E noi cantiamo sotto voce
And we sing quietly
