Sofia </3

In 'Sofia </3,' Alfa delves into the complexities of love, desire, and emotional turmoil. The song's protagonist, Sofia, is portrayed as a free-spirited and enigmatic figure who blurs the lines between love and pleasure. The lyrics suggest that Sofia is constantly seeking companionship, never wanting to sleep alone, which raises questions about her true intentions and emotional state. This ambiguity is further highlighted by her decision to leave school and work, indicating a life in flux and a search for meaning.

The chorus, with its metaphor of playing 'm'ama non m'ama' (a game similar to 'he loves me, he loves me not'), underscores the uncertainty and pain in the relationship. The imagery of thorns cutting deep suggests that love, while beautiful, can also be painful and damaging. Alfa's vivid descriptions of crying 'all the Niagara' and having 'the Sahara' in his eyes convey a profound sense of loss and desolation, yet he remains haunted by Sofia's presence.

Alfa also weaves in cultural references, such as the 'How I Met Your Mother' theory about complementary differences and the eclectic mix of music from Battisti to Bad Bunny, reflecting the chaotic and unpredictable nature of their relationship. The song's narrative arc, from intimate moments to a poignant farewell at a train station, captures the fleeting and often bittersweet nature of love. The final lines, where Alfa contemplates the idea for his album title, suggest a deeper philosophical musing on love's role in creation and existence, hinting that love, despite its complexities, is a fundamental force in life.
