Atlantide Lyrics in English by Sarah Toscano
Atlantide is the Italian name for the mythical lost island of Atlantis. It's a powerful and evocative word that instantly brings to mind mystery and legend.
In the song, the singer uses it in a beautiful metaphor: "Ti chiedevo le favole / Come il mare di Atlantide" (I asked you for fairy tales / Like the sea of Atlantis). She compares her desire for grand, impossible stories to something as vast and mythical as the ocean surrounding a lost world, highlighting the legendary scale of her dreams within the relationship.
This song feels like being stuck in that confusing moment right after a big change, maybe a breakup. Sarah Toscano sings about feeling totally lost, like she was "persa in un vortice" [lost in a vortex] and "chiusa in un margine" [closed in a margin]. She was asking for impossible fairy tales, comparing them to the mythical lost city of Atlantis.
But then, there's a shift. She decides she has to move on, even though it's terrifying. The most powerful line is "Adesso cambio direzione / Ma non cambio l'intenzione" [Now I'm changing direction / But I'm not changing the intention]. She's changing her path, but her feelings or ultimate goal might still be the same. She even says she'll be waiting "Da un'altra parte del mondo" [On another part of the world], which is such a dramatic and romantic way to say you're not really over someone, even as you're walking away.
