Strap in for an emotional road trip! In “Davanti Agli Occhi” (Right Before My Eyes), Italian artist Nesli fires off a rapid list of everything “they” will tell you as you grow up: you’re wrong, you’re crazy, you’re not their type, life is madness, twenty years vanish in a blink. The verses read like a whirlwind of criticism, false praise, and empty excuses swirling around you while months fly by and rooms turn into hollow shells.
Yet through all the noise, one presence stays fixed in the singer’s gaze: “Tu, solo tu, sempre tu” — you, only you, always you. Whether that “you” is a loved one or the truest version of yourself, the chorus reminds us that opinions fade, photographs burn, and even cities empty out, but the core of who or what really matters remains firmly in sight. The result is a bittersweet anthem about blocking out the crowd, trusting your own path, and keeping what you love right before your eyes.
