I speak in tapes, Mara in new rec

In the aftermath of what I asked

How many slaps I would give myself

When I realize that I think about you too much

And if in decibel beats I say it's the end

I turn your eyes in compasses, yes, a roulette wheel

If I looked at you, I would mark a border

Of beautiful things between unstable lines

Of how they are, imagine a room

Which then empty and cold opens up Antarctica

Of love I feel only frost and that's it

The needle on the scale marks what to do with it

Embarrassment I chose as an escape

Among those who run away, I prefer to leave

But who knows how long all this lasts?

We are closed souls with stuck thorns

How much do I trust a gesture?

What do I do to myself to make it

All that then is allowed

I'm better at night when you're here

Then all dreams are sad

And they leave the bitter taste and I say what it does

And I laugh at things and unexpected events

And I wonder, yes, it often happens

I'm better at night when you're here

At night I'm better when

I'm better at night when you're here

At night I'm better when

And the cold that I have seems to be part of many small ones

My parts that I hate and burn in the sun, make crumbs

Tell me what we find in the world, whether to bind or divide?

Then everything is incomprehensible among thousands of ideas

And it goes up and down, magically appears

Like a noise from a heel beats

I don't pretend to die in the cold

I undo the belt to breathe, who knows

How much did it cost to suffer less?

As a support to make us a statue

I am the daughter of a world that cries on the ground

Yes, he clenches his fists and despairs while

How much do I trust a gesture?

What do I do to myself to make it

All that then is allowed

I'm better at night when you're here

Then all dreams are sad

And they leave the bitter taste and I say what it does

And I laugh at things and unexpected events

And I wonder, yes, it often happens

I'm better at night when you're here

At night I'm better when

I'm better at night when you're here

At night I'm better when

Antartide — Antarctica

Antartide translates to "Antarctica". It's a striking and unusual word to find in a pop song, immediately evoking images of extreme cold and isolation.

In the song, Mara Sattei uses "Antartide" metaphorically to describe a state of emotional emptiness and coldness. She sings, "immagina una stanza / Che poi vuota e fredda spalanca l'Antartide / Di amore provo solo gelo e basta" (imagine a room / That then empty and cold opens up to Antarctica / Of love I only feel ice and that's it). This powerful imagery makes the word highly memorable and central to the song's theme of emotional detachment.

"Antartide" is Mara Sattei singing about the numbness that follows heartbreak. She opens by replaying a conversation in her head, wondering how many times she should have slapped some sense into herself for still thinking about someone who hurt her.

The title comes from the image at the center of the song: instead of a room full of warmth, she pictures one that turns cold and empty, "spalanca l'Antartide" — throwing open onto Antarctica. Love, for her right now, only brings a chill rather than comfort, and she's learned to close herself off rather than get hurt again.

The chorus is a small, honest admission: she sleeps better, feels calmer, only when that person is around — even while everything else in her life feels like broken dreams and things gone wrong. The second verse pushes the same idea further, describing herself as scattered into small pieces, someone who has to fake her way through the day just to get by, torn between wanting closeness and needing to break free from it.

It's a song about protecting yourself from feeling too much, while quietly admitting you still need the one thing that makes the cold bearable.
