Truman Meaning & Lyrics (Birthh)
Alice Bisi writes about mundane routines, like stirring pasta and taking walks, to explore themes of isolation and self-discovery. A standout line, ‘I stay on alert just like the dogs,’ captures the vigilance that comes with emotional vulnerability. The lyrics contrast the weight of loneliness with the hope of transformation.
Che strana questa lunaThis moon looks so strange,
Oggi mi sento trumantoday I feel like Truman.
Senza una via di fugaWithout any escape route,
Ma trovero una scusabut I’ll find an excuse.
Prendo un incenso e guardo un pornoI light an incense stick and watch p#rn,
Cosi mi sfogothat’s how I let off steam.
Riempio la vasca fino all’orlo mina in sottofondoI fill the tub to the brim with ‘Mina’ playing in the background,
Psilocibina nel mio corpopsilocyb#n in my body,
Cosi ritornoso I can return,
Una persona nuova in fondo e quello che voglioto being a new person, after all, that’s what I want.
Ricordati che di notte noi non siamo ugualiRemember that at night we aren’t the same;
Io rimango all’erta come i caniI stay on alert just like the dogs.
Giro la pasta ho il pane in fornoI stir the pasta, I’ve got bread in the oven,
Meglio di gordondoing better than ‘Gordon’.
Mi vuoi vedere questa seraYou want to see me this evening,
Scusa non ci sonosorry, but I’m not around.
Faccio due passi intorno al bloccoI take a walk around the block
Per un secondojust for a second,
Dalla vetrina il mio riflesso mi chiarisce il mondoand my reflection in the shop window clarifies the world for me.
Ricordati che di notte noi non siamo ugualiRemember that at night we aren’t the same;
Io rimango all’erta come i caniI stay on alert just like the dogs.
Forse sentirmi abbandonata e la mia fortunaMaybe feeling abandoned is my good fortune,
Fare di questo peso la mia stessa piumaturning this heavy weight into my own feather.
Non sara quella persona ad essere la curaThat person won’t be the cure,
E se staro bene con tutte in fondo con nessunaand if I’m fine with everyone, deep down, I’m with no one.
Nessuna nessuna nessunaNo one, no one, no one.
Che strana questa lunaThis moon looks so strange,
Oggi mi sento trumantoday I feel like Truman.
Senza una via di fugaWithout any escape route,
Ma trovero una scusabut I’ll find an excuse.
Di notte noi non siamo ugualiAt night we aren’t the same,
Di notte noi non siamo ugualiat night we aren’t the same.
Io rimango all’erta come i caniI stay on alert just like the dogs,
Io rimango all’erta come i caniI stay on alert just like the dogs.
Potevamo essere specialiWe could have been special,
Specialispecial.
Ci penserai e sara domaniYou’ll think about it, and it will be tomorrow.
The translation of ‘Truman’ lyrics highlights the struggle to find oneself in a chaotic world. Birthh’s Italian alt-pop sound makes the song a standout track on their latest release.
