Mentre Tutto Scorre Lyrics in English Negramaro

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mentre Tutto Scorre by Negramaro from Italian to English.
Speak fast and don't think
If what you're saying can hurt
Why should I ever
Pretend to be fragile
The way you make me
Want to hide yourself in silences
A thousand times already granted
Anyway, you know
I'd always manage to convince myself
That everything flows
Use me, tear me apart
Rip my soul out
Do whatever you want with me
It won't change anyway
The idea I've now got of you
Green rabbit
With a thousand funny faces
And tell me again how heavy
Your wax mask is
Anyway, you know
It'll melt like it was snow in the sun
While everything flows
Use me, tear me apart
Rip my soul out
Do whatever you want with me
It won't change anyway
The idea I've now got of you
Green rabbit
With a thousand funny faces
Shoot at me, missed target
Try again, it's a minefield
What's left of our past
Don't deny it, it's wasted time
Indelible stains, covering them is a crime
Let whoever's sinless cast the stone
Let whoever's sinless cast the stone
You throw it, because I've got it all wrong
Use me, tear me apart
Rip my soul out
Do whatever you want with me
It won't change anyway
The idea I've now got of you
Green rabbit
With a thousand funny faces
You throw it, because I've got it all wrong

SONG MEANING

Mentre Tutto Scorre feels like a passionate shout in the middle of a stormy relationship. The singer looks the other person straight in the eye and says: “Speak fast, hurt me if you must, but stop hiding behind your wax mask.” He sees through the partner’s many disguises – the “green rabbit with a thousand funny faces” – and predicts that every false expression will eventually melt away “like snow in the sun.” Even if he is used, torn apart, or turned into a target, he refuses to change the clear picture he now has of this person.

At its core, the song is about liberation. By admitting his own mistakes and acknowledging the scars they both carry, he frees himself from the toxic push-and-pull. The catchy refrain “Usami, straziami, strappami l’anima” is not a surrender but a dare: “Go ahead, do your worst, because everything keeps flowing and I am already moving on.” In other words, while their masks crack and their shared past lies like a minefield behind them, time rolls forward – and so does he.
