Lyrics

Cosa cambia cosa e quando cambia cosa cambia
Forse che i posti colorati diventano neri opachi
Oppure ero distratto e li ho dimenticati
Se fossi caduto, magari mi sarei rialzato
Come chi ha fatto il militare
E in fondo non è mai pentito
Nonostante il mito…
Se il mare fosse il mio ambiente naturale
Potrei toccare il fondo senza annegare
Come una conchiglia imitarne il rumore
Forse che la vita andrebbe riazzerata
Quando hai trent’anni
Sperando di averne sette come i gatti
Tanto sei soltanto il tempo che hai davanti
Cosa cambia le cose e quando cambia cosa resta…
Intanto che mi ritorna tutto a bomba nella testa
Mi chiudo come un riccio
E sembro pazzo…
Se il mare fosse il mio ambiente naturale
Potrei toccare il fondo senza annegare
Come una conchiglia imitarne il rumore
Se il mare fosse il mio ambiente naturale
Potrei toccare il fondo senza annegare
Come una conchiglia imitarne il rumore
Se il mare fosse il mio ambiente naturale
Potrei stare sul fondo a riposare
E come una conchiglia imitarne il rumore…
E come una conchiglia imitarne il rumore…

Lyrics translation

What changes what and when it changes what changes
Maybe the colored places become dull black
Or I was distracted and forgot them
If I had fallen, maybe I would have risen
Like who did the military
And deep down he never repented
Despite the myth…
If the sea were my natural environment
I could hit bottom without drowning
Like a shell imitating its noise
Maybe life should be revived
When you're thirty
Hoping to have seven like cats
You're just the time you have in front of you.
What changes things and when it changes what remains…
In the meantime, everything goes back to my head
I close like a hedgehog
And I look crazy…
If the sea were my natural environment
I could hit bottom without drowning
Like a shell imitating its noise
If the sea were my natural environment
I could hit bottom without drowning
Like a shell imitating its noise
If the sea were my natural environment
I could sit on the bottom and rest.
And like a shell imitating its noise…
And like a shell imitating its noise…
