Boxes full of stuff
Left to sit and age
Shifted from corner to corner, worn down by time
Photos of people you don't see anymore
Somebody wasn't a friend
Somebody left, went up there
To see if it's really better
Boxes full of stuff
Letters read a million times
Written by jealous women
There's still perfume on those words
Making them sting even more
Hidden by a pair of glasses held together with tape
Memories I've put aside, memories I have
Where are you?
Where will you be tonight?
Do you ever think about me, or not?
While everything drifts away from me
You left so much behind, though
In the boxes I'm opening now
Dangerous boxes
Stacked up, they hold answers
That're still fuzzy
And the years we spent searching
There, behind doors that were closed
But what really matters, you never know where it is
Memories I've stored away, the ones I have of you
And where will you be
Where will you be tonight?
Do you ever think of me, though
While everything drifts away from you
You left so much behind, though
In the boxes I'm opening now
Tales, storybooks, missing pages
Fogged-up glasses, clothes in different sizes
Spare remotes, you don't know if they work or not
Life's beautiful, though
Where are you?
Where will you be tonight?
Do you ever think about me, or not?
While everything drifts away from me
You left so much behind, though
In the boxes I'm opening now
You left so much behind, though
In the boxes I'm opening now

ScatoleBoxes

Scatole means "boxes." While seemingly simple, in this song, it's a deeply evocative and central metaphor.

Fabrizio Moro uses "scatole" to represent containers of memories, forgotten items, old letters, and unresolved feelings. These aren't just any boxes; they are "scatole pericolose" (dangerous boxes) because opening them unleashes a flood of past emotions and unanswered questions. It's a powerful image for anyone reflecting on their past.

Have you ever found an old box full of memories in your closet? Fabrizio Moro's song "Scatole," which means "Boxes," is all about that experience. The song describes opening boxes filled with old things: photographs of people you don't see anymore, letters from past relationships, and random items like old clothes and books. Each object is a key that unlocks a memory from the past.

The singer calls these boxes "dangerous" because looking back can be emotional. As he sorts through these items, he thinks about a specific person who is no longer in his life, wondering where they are and if they ever think of him. It's a song about nostalgia, the bittersweet feeling of remembering people and moments that are gone, and finding a strange beauty in looking back at a life you've lived.
