NUVOLA Lyrics Meaning Holden | JOSEPH
Angelina and Joseph paint with delicate images—wind-carried breaths, lightning bolts to the chest, hearts full of thorns. Their line ‘A breath in the wind, you taste like a cloud’ captures lovers suspended between tenderness and fear. Every verse confesses the terror of showing your damaged self to someone who sees through you.
Ah Ah-ahAh, ah-ah
Un Respiro In Mezzo Al Vento Sai Di NuvolaA breath in the middle of the wind, you taste like a cloud
Dammi ‘sto Colpo Di Grazia Che Sei L’unicaGive me this mercy stroke, ’cause you’re the only one
A Vedere Ad Arrivare In Fondo A Me A MeWho sees and reaches the depths of me, of me
Ti Chiedo Scusa MaI’m asking your forgiveness, but
Me Ne F#tto Della Vita Anche Se È L’unicaI don’t give a fk about life, even if it’s the only one
Anche Se Penso Nel Profondo Non Sia L’ultimaEven if I think deep down it’s not the last one
Come Posso Far Vedere Questo A Te A TeHow can I show this side of me to you, to you
Non Lo Riesco A DireI just can’t manage to say it
Scusa Se Non Parlo È Che Non So Da Dove PartireSorry if I’m not talking, I just don’t know where to start
La M#rda Che C’ho Dentro Tu Non La Vuoi SentireThe st I’ve got inside, you don’t want to hear it
Ed Ho Paura Che Che Rovini Noi DueAnd I’m afraid it’ll ruin the two of us
Vorrei ScomparireI wish I’d just disappear
Con Te In Mezzo Alle Lenzuola Nel Mio Cuore Di SpineWith you between the sheets, in my heart of thorns
Per Ogni Film Che Hai Messo Abbiamo Perso La FineFor every movie you put on, we missed the ending
Tu Rimani Qui Io Nelle Mani TueYou stay right here, I’m in your hands
Ah Ah-ahAh, ah-ah
Siamo Soli In Mezzo A Tutta Questa PolvereWe’re all alone in the middle of all this dust
E Certe Volte Cado A Terra Forse È Un FulmineAnd sometimes I fall to the ground, maybe it’s a lightning bolt
Che Mi Spara Dritto Al Petto E Non Lo NegoThat shoots me straight in the chest, and I won’t deny it
A Volte Perdo Too Tempo E NonSometimes I waste too much time and I don’t
Mi Spiego Come Fai A Sopportarmi QuandoUnderstand how you put up with me when
Mi Chiudo In Una Stanza E Mi DimenticoI lock myself in a room and I forget
Di Tutto E Di Tutti E Di TuttoAbout everything and everyone and everything
Non Lo Riesco A DireI can’t find the words to say it
Scusa Se Non Parlo È Che Non So Da Dove PartireSorry for the silence, I just don’t know where to begin
La M#rda Che C’ho Dentro Tu Non La Vuoi SentireThe st inside me is something you don’t want to hear
Ed Ho Paura Che Che Rovini Noi DueAnd I’m scared that it’s going to ruin us
Vorrei ScomparireI want to fade away
Con Te In Mezzo Alle Lenzuola Nel Mio Cuore Di SpineBetween the sheets with you, inside my heart of thorns
Per Ogni Film Che Hai Messo Abbiamo Perso La FineWe missed the end of every movie you played
Tu Rimani Qui Io Nelle Mani Tue (Io Nelle Mani Tue)You stay here, I’m in your hands (I’m in your hands)
E Non So Se Basta Oppure È Tutto InutileAnd I don’t know if it’s enough or if it’s all for nothing
Non Lo Riesco A Dire Se Lo Devo Dire A TeI can’t bring myself to say it if I’ve got to say it to you
‘NUVOLA’ lyrics are about fragile love balanced on unspoken fears. Holden spins this tension into music that lingers like mist, perfect for late-night drives through empty streets.
