SONG MEANING

Alex Britti and Bianca Atzei turn heartbreak into poetry in Non È Vero Mai (“It’s Never True”). The duet follows two lovers who keep circling the same painful truth: one of them has already decided to leave, yet both cling to the fantasy that their words can still mend everything. He confesses he is “never satisfied,” she remembers promises of running away together, and the chorus keeps repeating non è vero mai as if denial could freeze time. The result is a bittersweet tug-of-war between hope and reality, where dreams melt “like millions of words under the sun.”

At its core, the song captures that familiar moment when a relationship is ending but the heart refuses to sign the exit papers. Every line is a push-and-pull: “If only you stayed… but you’ve decided to go.” Through acoustic guitar riffs and intertwining voices, Britti and Atzei paint the picture of two “deficienti” who never make mistakes—except the biggest one of all, letting go. Their message? Love can feel perfect if there were a “point of stability,” yet life rarely grants that luxury. Instead, we are left with memories, doubts, and the lingering wish that what we are saying—non è vero mai—might somehow become true.
