Semplicemente (feat. Mida)
Sarah Toscano
The Melancholic Dance of Love and Ego
In "Semplicemente," Sarah Toscano, featuring Mida, delves into the complexities of love, ego, and the inevitable melancholy that accompanies relationships. The song opens with a desire to express something significant, yet the protagonist is hindered by their own ego, which metaphorically spills from their pockets. This imagery suggests a struggle between vulnerability and pride, a common theme in romantic relationships. The protagonist yearns for a future, symbolized by writing on a wall, yet is caught in a cycle of declarations of exclusive love, highlighting the tension between desire and reality.
The chorus introduces a poignant comparison between the two lovers, likening them to individuals falling from a great height, reluctant to utter "I love you." This metaphor captures the fear of emotional exposure and the potential pain of unreciprocated feelings. The repeated phrase "che sarà, che sarà, che sarà" ("what will be, will be") underscores a sense of resignation and acceptance of the unknown future. The night, described as "stupid" and "melancholic," represents the transient nature of their emotions, dying with the dawn.
Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of departure and the notion that love might be a "sana follia" ("healthy madness"). This paradoxical idea suggests that while love can be irrational and chaotic, it is also an essential part of the human experience. The protagonist grapples with the pain of separation, acknowledging that nothing feels right without their partner. The song closes with a sense of unresolved tension, as the protagonist contemplates leaving, yet remains tethered to the hope and madness of love.
