Alibi
Subsonica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Le tue labbra strette sono un taglio sottile
Stringo le mie spalle senza niente da dire.
Si alza la corrente e ora ti vedo svanire
Un punto all'orizzonte di una riva sottile
Le onde son già cariche di cose da dire.
Soffia sui miei alibi
Soffia sui rimpianti
Dopo aver guardato affondare il tuo cuore
Dopo aver permesso al tempo di giudicare
Stringo le mie spalle senza niente da dire.
Piove sui miei alibi
Piove sui rimpianti
L'acqua scorre e scivola sul tempo che ci resta.
Scorre sui tuoi alibi
Scorre sui rimpianti
Scorre su di noi
The lyrics to "Alibi" by Subsonica speak of a relationship that is falling apart. The singer describes the coldness they feel from their partner, who points their cold fingers at their heart, and whose tight lips are like a thin cut. The singer feels speechless and helpless as the current rises and their partner disappears, leaving behind a point on the horizon that disappears. The waves fill with words that they cannot say. The singer asks for forgiveness and to be blown on by the wind, to blow away their regrets and excuses, as they feel the time slipping away. They watch as their partner's heart sinks and they allow time to judge them, without anything to say. The rain falls on their excuses and regrets, as the water flows away with the time they have left. The water also flows over their partner's excuses and regrets, washing over them both.
