Estate

In the song "Estate" by Will, the artist delves into the emotional turmoil of a love that has left deep scars. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship marked by intense highs and devastating lows. The opening lines, "E mi hai ferito troppe volte, lasci i lividi" (And you have hurt me too many times, leaving bruises), set the tone for a narrative of betrayal and heartache. The metaphor of being discarded like DVDs underscores the feeling of being used and then abandoned, a sentiment that resonates throughout the song.

The recurring theme of searching for direction is evident in lines like "E questo treno dove porta ancora non lo so" (And I still don't know where this train is going). This metaphorical journey reflects the uncertainty and confusion that often accompany the end of a significant relationship. Despite the pain, the artist admits to still longing for the person who caused the hurt, highlighting the complexity of human emotions and the difficulty of letting go.

Will's use of vivid imagery, such as comparing a lover's gaze to a meteorite that could kill him, emphasizes the destructive power of love. The chorus, "Sì, c'è l'estate, ma non ci sei tu" (Yes, it's summer, but you're not here), juxtaposes the warmth and brightness of summer with the cold emptiness felt in the absence of a loved one. This contrast between external and internal climates serves to amplify the sense of loss and longing. The song ultimately captures the essence of a love that, despite its pain, remains an integral part of the artist's identity and creative expression.
