Bittersweet like the Italian digestif it is named after, “Amaro” pours out the story of a breakup that still lingers on the tongue. The singer wanders through empty rooms, promises to water flowers, and tries to convince himself that missing a few metaphorical trains will be good for his thoughts. Yet every corner echoes with memories of a love so intense that even new relationships would have to live "in your shadow, baby." The track catches that delicate moment when you know it is time to move on but your heart keeps circling back, hoping the other person thinks of you whenever the sky turns gray.
The word “amaro” plays double duty: it is the bitter liqueur Italians sip after heavy meals and the bitterness that sits in your mouth when love ends. The chorus raises a glass to both, mixing wine, nostalgia, and late-night adventures once shared like two rule-breaking librarians. In the end, the singer vows to “learn to unlearn” the other person, admitting that saving yourself is hard when you are an expert at self-sabotage. It is a toast to the past, a plea for help staying away, and an acceptance that some flavors—especially bittersweet ones—never completely fade.
