Simili invites us into a maze of emotions where Laura Pausini feels lost, as if she is only a guest in her own life. Dusty memories and shards of anger clutter the floor, until someone gentle appears, speaking softly and recognizing how much they resemble her. This unexpected twin soul turns fear into laughter, lifts her after every stumble, and shows that even the most complicated hearts can find harmony when they beat in the same rhythm.
The song celebrates the marvel and tenderness of discovering a kindred spirit: two people who are “free and imprisoned in the same cage,” yet able to calm each other with a forehead kiss that quickly becomes a kiss on the lips. “Simili” reminds us that true connection is protective, healing, and exhilarating; when we meet someone who mirrors our strengths and flaws, we learn to transform anger into music and falls into flight.
