Novantasei is a dreamy trip where Coma_Cose blend tender love notes with the restless energy of Italy’s suburban nights. The lyrics jump from “ossa di ramo” (branch-like bones) and slow-falling pollen to thumping speakers in a forest rave, painting a picture of two souls who can only breathe when they lose themselves together. The repeated line “perché ho sonno dal novantasei” hints at a lingering tiredness that started back in 1996, the year that symbolizes a whole generation’s sleepy search for purpose. Every image—clouds hanging low, industrial zones, Nirvana blaring in Brianza—mixes nature with concrete, romance with rebellion.
Under the poetry lies a simple heartbeat: you are everything I want, so please stay in my mind and push out the noise I don’t care about. Even when life serves “bread and honey of pain” for breakfast, the singer shrugs it off with the ironic refrain “per il resto, tutto bene” (“for the rest, all good”). It is a song for anyone who feels trapped between small-town routines and big-city dreams, between the urge to run away and the need to forgive. Let the hypnotic groove carry you back to 1996, but keep dancing in the present—the only place where losing yourself might just help you find what really matters.
