Discover the story of the song > Io non abito al mare – Francesca Michielin

The protagonist of the song is saying that she doesn't understand love and doesn't know how to talk about it. She's imagining being at the beach and wishes she could tell her partner some things in private, away from the loud concert. She also wishes she could tell him these things while dancing to techno music, and tonight she doesn't want to wear makeup because she wants to see if he's really listening. She mentions avoiding emotions and suggests talking about university or soccer instead. In the end, she just wants to see if he's really listening to her.
