Description
Frozen love songs are like the remnants of summer in the freezer: they still smell like sunshine, but they no longer warm. Everything around reminds me of the past, like planets stuck in orbit around alien things. Even the refrigerator seems to hum in time with broken promises. Everything in this sound is like an attempt to restart a film that froze on the most important frame. It's useless: the internet doesn't pick up feelings, the signal doesn't return. Only the smell of summer still lingers on my palms, like a ghost of what could have been if the tires hadn't gone flat and the backpack hadn't been closed, one I can no longer fit into. The music swings between bitterness and laughter at its own naivett, as if someone had promised themselves not to cry, but still giggles when their heart breaks in two again.
Lyrics and translation
Original
E niente
Ehi, ehi, ehi, ehi
Ti ho scritto mille canzoni d'amore
Come faccio a pensare di dimenticare?
Adesso le ho chiuse nel congelatore
Fottuti ricordi, pronti da cantare
I nostri progetti, la panca coi pesi
I tuoi oggetti mi girano attorno come dei pianeti, mhm
Provo a sistemare il sistema solare
Mi invento qualcosa da fare
Ma cosa ti aspetti, cosa?
Ti aspetti che sorrida
Che mi svegli la mattina
Con la forza dentro che c'avevo prima
Prima di vederti scappare
Con lе scarpe da allacciare
Uno zaino aperto in cui non posso еntrare
In cui non posso entrare
È come quando vedi un film e si blocca il Wi-Fi
È come quando parti per il mare
E senti già l'odore dell'estate nelle mani
E poi una gomma a terra dice: "Okay, parti domani"
E giuro che non ti avrei fatto aspettare in piedi sull'altare
Mi sarei impegnata ad essere puntuale, almeno stavolta
Ma forse le gomme bucate volevano dirci
Che non era il caso di viaggiare assieme
E tu ti aspetti che sorrida
Che mi svegli la mattina
Con la forza dentro che c'avevo prima
Prima di vederti scappare
Con le scarpe da allacciare
Uno zaino aperto in cui non posso entrare, ah
In cui non posso entrare
Eh, eh, eh
Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm
Ah, okay
Mhm, mhm
English translation
And nothing
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I wrote you a thousand love songs
How can I think of forgetting?
Now I have them locked in the freezer
Fucking memories, ready to sing
Our projects, the weight bench
Your objects revolve around me like planets, mhm
I'm trying to fix the solar system
I'll figure out something to do
But what do you expect, what?
You expect him to smile
That wakes me up in the morning
With the strength inside that I had before
Before I see you run away
With shoes to tie
An open backpack that I can't get into
Which I can't enter
It's like when you watch a movie and your Wi-Fi crashes
It's like when you leave for the sea
And you can already smell summer in your hands
And then a flat tire says, "Okay, leave tomorrow"
And I swear I wouldn't make you wait standing at the altar
I would commit to being on time, at least this time
But perhaps the punctured tires wanted to tell us
That there was no point in traveling together
And you expect him to smile
That wakes me up in the morning
With the strength inside that I had before
Before I see you run away
With shoes to tie
An open backpack that I can't get into, ha
Which I can't enter
Eh, eh, eh
Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm
Oh, okay
Mhm, mhm
