Walking around I see how much I don't like this city
Elbowing my way past women and dogs on the tram
I know I should get away from here, away from here
And not, not end up in a bar
Don't throw me away, no
The life so many people live has always shut me out from the start
It's always slapped me around, I'll stay out of it
For a while I've felt only one emotion
I know it's a lack of attention
But there's room inside my head
I'm my best friend
I'll cry on your shoulders, on mine
I'll even tell you lies
And I'll fall for them
And then again I won't talk to myself for a while
If I don't get into a fight tonight
And we don't shout anymore
I'll take you to dinner, I'll take myself to dinner
I hurt you
It's just that I didn't know you were right here
You've changed with me
When I lost my first friend, my virginity
You've been chasing me through the streets for a while, I know
At this hour you'll be tired, though
Now I've got a thousand questions
Let's talk a bit about myself
I'll cry on your shoulders, on mine
I'll even tell you lies
And I'll fall for them
And then again I won't talk to myself for a while
If I don't get into a fight tonight
And we don't shout anymore
I'll take you to dinner, I'll take myself to dinner
My best friend is me
My best friend is me
My best friend is me
My best friend is me
I'll cry on your shoulders, on mine
I'll even tell you lies
And I'll fall for them
And then again I won't talk to myself for a while
If I don't get into a fight tonight
And we don't shout anymore
I'll take you to dinner, I'll take myself to dinner
I'll cry on your shoulders, on mine
I'll even tell you lies
And I'll fall for them
And then again I won't talk to myself for a while
If I don't get into a fight tonight
And we don't shout anymore
I'll take you to dinner (my best friend is me)
I'll take myself to dinner

SONG MEANING

“Migliore Amico” is a heartfelt conversation gIANMARIA holds with the one person who never really leaves his side: himself. Wandering through a city he finds uninspiring, squeezed between strangers and barking dogs on a tram, he notices how alien he feels among the daily hustle. Rather than escaping into a bar or following the crowd, the singer turns inward, admitting that life’s usual script has always kept him at arm’s length. Amid loneliness, crushed expectations, and the search for attention, he discovers unexpected comfort – “my best friend is me.”

The song paints a vivid picture of the ups and downs of self-companionship: crying on his own shoulder, telling himself little lies, sulking in silence, then making up by taking himself out to dinner. These playful yet vulnerable images highlight how we can be both our harshest critics and our strongest supporters. In the end, gIANMARIA transforms isolation into self-acceptance, reminding listeners that taking care of ourselves – arguments, reconciliations, and all – can be the first step toward finding real belonging in the world.
