“Morirò Da Re” is Måneskin’s fiery rock anthem about grabbing the hand of someone you love and sprinting toward freedom, no matter how steep the climb. The singer invites his bella señorita to pack her suitcase, put on fishnet stockings, and paint the gray night with their own colors. Together they will hang from the speeding train of life “only with their fingers,” facing exhaustion and adversaries yet promising to fall on their feet. In this reckless road-movie of a song, the chorus roars: “Accanto a te, io morirò da re” – “Beside you, I’ll die a king.” Love turns every risk into a royal adventure.
Marlena, the mysterious muse, embodies beauty, truth, and fearless self-expression. The band urges her to “open the sail” and “travel light,” stripping away anything inessential while showing the world her radiance. Through Marlena, Måneskin celebrates liberation from judgment and the courage to seize everything that feels right. In short, the song is a rallying cry: cling to your dreams, fight the pack, and reign over your own life – because next to the one who sets your soul on fire, even the hardest journey feels victorious.
