Discover the story of the song > Uomo Macchina – Adriano Celentano

The lyrics are about someone walking through the city and noticing that everyone seems like they are just going through the motions, not really alive. The protagonist tells his friend that they're also like that, unaware that they are just like a machine being controlled by their own motor. He says that he is different, and if his friend looks into his eyes, they will see the difference. He encourages his friend to stay and listen, to not run away. He tells his friend that when they wake up from the bad dream that is destroying them, they will see the colors of life that are all around them. The protagonist reassures his friend that they are not alone and that they can face life together.
