No, non sono normale
Ma cosa c’è di male
Se penso differente
Da tutta l’altra gente
Tu sai che dai
giudizi sterili per me
Poi ti senti superiore
Ma ti sbagli
Senza ali sì io volerò come non ho fatto mai
Sì volerò come non ho sognato mai
Io volerò come tu non farai mai
A te piace raccontare
Che è bello lavorare
Ma quando torni a casa
Noti che qualcosa manca
Perche il percorso che hai preso
Non sai dove va
E non ricordi dove hai perso
La tua identità
Segui me io volerò come non ho fatto mai
Sì volerò come non hai sognato mai
Io volerò e anche tu se lo crederai.
The distinctive feature of this track lies in the sonic illusion created in the chorus.
The harmonic progression is structured as follows:
Fm – Db – Ab – Eb
Em – C – G – D
Ebm – B – Gb – Db – Dm
As can be observed, the progression descends by a semitone with each cycle. However, because the first chord of the subsequent cycle is positioned a semitone above the final chord of the preceding one, the overall perception is that of a continuous harmonic ascent.
This sensation of upward movement and progressive tension gave rise to the song’s lyrics, which were conceived as a lyrical translation of this very sonic experience.
but what is wrong with that,
if I think differently
(The Italian phrase "penso differente" mirrors the famous Apple slogan "Think Different". In English, it carries that exact same connotation: challenging status quo, non-conformity, and innovative/rebellious mindset)
from all the other people?
sterile judgments to me,
then you feel superior,
but you are wrong.
like I never did before,
yes, I will fly like I never dreamed before,
I will fly like you never will.
that working is beautiful,
but when you get back home,
you notice that something is missing.
you don’t know where it goes,
and you don't remember where you lost
your identity.
yes, I will fly like you never dreamed before,
I will fly, and so will you, if you believe it (Notice the evolution in the final chorus: in the first chorus, the flying was an exclusive act of defiance against the critic—"like you never will". Now, it becomes an invitation to escape the trap together—"and so will you, if you believe it". The song shifts from a personal vendetta to a collective call for freedom).
