Avocado Toast

Annalisa's song 'Avocado Toast' is a vibrant and metaphor-rich exploration of modern relationships, blending contemporary imagery with deep emotional undertones. The title itself, 'Avocado Toast,' symbolizes something trendy and seemingly superficial, yet it serves as a metaphor for the complexities and contradictions within a relationship. The lyrics juxtapose everyday objects and high art, such as comparing the night sky to a Van Gogh painting and a chaotic bedroom scene to a 'sparatoria di rose' (a shooting of roses), highlighting the beauty and turmoil that coexist in love.

The song delves into the emotional dissonance between partners, as seen in lines like 'Cosa vuol dire amo, forse non ci capiamo' (What does 'I love' mean, maybe we don't understand each other). This suggests a struggle to communicate and connect on a deeper level, despite the outward appearance of harmony. The recurring imagery of 'trasloco l’anima in un dropbox' (I move my soul into a dropbox) reflects a desire to compartmentalize emotions and experiences, perhaps as a coping mechanism for the emotional void the singer feels.

Annalisa also touches on the paradoxical nature of relationships with lines like 'Siamo yin e yang ma all’incontrario' (We are yin and yang but reversed) and 'Facciamo la guerra per fare la pace' (We make war to make peace). These phrases capture the push-and-pull dynamics, where conflict and harmony are intertwined. The song's blend of modern and classical references, from digital storage to iconic artists like Van Gogh and Mirò, underscores the timeless yet ever-evolving nature of love and human connection.
