All Good Things (come To The End)

Zero Assoluto's collaboration with Nelly Furtado in 'All Good Things (Come to an End)' delves into the transient nature of happiness and the inevitability of change. The song opens with a reflection on the harshness of reality and the comfort found in daydreams. The lyrics 'Honestly what will become of me / Don't like reality / It's way too clear to me' suggest a struggle with accepting the impermanence of good moments and the clarity that comes with facing reality. This sets the tone for the recurring theme of the song: the inevitability of endings.

The chorus, 'Flames to dust / Lovers to friends / Why do all good things come to an end,' uses powerful imagery to convey the transformation and dissolution of relationships and experiences. The metaphor of 'flames to dust' signifies the end of passion and vibrancy, while 'lovers to friends' highlights the shift from romantic intimacy to platonic familiarity. This poignant observation is a universal truth that resonates with listeners, as it captures the bittersweet nature of life's fleeting joys.

The Italian verses add a layer of introspection and hope, with lines like 'Solo così / Potrei ritrovare / Il coraggio di / Di riprovarci nonostante tutto' translating to 'Only this way / Could I find / The courage to / Try again despite everything.' This suggests a resilience and willingness to embrace new beginnings, even in the face of inevitable endings. The recurring motif of dogs barking at the new moon symbolizes a longing for renewal and the cyclical nature of life. The song ultimately reflects on the beauty and sadness of life's transient moments, urging listeners to cherish the present while acknowledging that all good things must come to an end.
