Discover the story of the song > Il confronto – Marco Masini

The protagonist of the song is reflecting on his past actions and mistakes. He admits to being a liar, imperfect, and sometimes wise. He talks about being a failed husband and a father who didn't quite succeed. He compares himself to a child trapped in the body of a man, who has been important but easily forgotten. Despite all this, he has a slow-burning heart and sees life as a game. He urges himself to say "enough" and change, and admits that life is unfair and filled with memories that haunt us. But beyond the fear of confrontation, he has won everything. He acknowledges that he was a jerk and hurt his partner, but also recognizes that he was a gentleman when he didn't respond to her and just needed two words to fix things. He talks about how the heart is a killer and the world is vast. He reiterates that life is unfair and memories stick with us, but beyond the fear of confrontation, he has won everything. He concludes by stating that life is not fair, as memories come back to haunt us like news in the newspaper and a knife with fingerprints on it. However, he emphasizes that beyond the fear of confrontation, he has won everything and realizes that he has given himself permission to truly talk and accept himself.
