Eros Ramazzotti’s “Inevitable” is a playful yet passionate meditation on the one force no one can escape: love. From the very first line he throws out a challenge—“Amore, what are you?”—and toys with definitions ranging from chemical combination to physical attraction. Whatever formula we choose, he insists that when love strikes it lights the hottest fire imaginable, pulling two people into a dizzying “incrocio di emozioni” (intersection of emotions). The chorus practically winks at us, reminding us that crashing into this feeling is, quite simply, inevitable.
The second half of the song paints love as a sneaky revolutionary that remodels every corner of your being. Close the door, hide away, argue with logic—none of it matters, because love is patient and will “surprise you sooner or later.” It turns us upside-down, drives us a little crazy, yet also feels like a basic human need. When Eros sings that there is “nothing to understand,” he frees us from overthinking; the heart wants what it wants, and surrendering to that pull is both torment and bliss. In the end, “Inevitable” is a joyous reminder that love happens to all of us—“succede anche a me, come a te”—and when it does, the smartest move is to dive in and live it fully.
