Non So Piu' a Chi Credere

Biagio Antonacci's song "Non So Piu' a Chi Credere" delves into the profound confusion and disillusionment that many people feel in today's world. The lyrics express a deep sense of uncertainty and mistrust, as the narrator grapples with whom to believe and whom to trust. This sentiment is encapsulated in the repeated lines, "non so piu' a chi credere" (I don't know who to believe anymore) and "non so piu' se crederti o no" (I don't know whether to believe you or not). The song reflects a broader societal skepticism, where everyone seems to be telling the same lies and nobody listens, creating an environment where genuine connection and truth are hard to find.

The song also touches on the theme of resistance against conforming to a life of complacency. Antonacci sings about the ease of living a life by simply saying 'yes' to everything, but he chooses to say 'no,' indicating a desire to live authentically and with integrity. This resistance is further emphasized in the lines, "Mentre loro sparano al sole, mentre loro sporcano il cielo" (While they shoot at the sun, while they dirty the sky), suggesting a critique of those who harm the world and its beauty, both literally and metaphorically. The narrator's cry to live "di pelle e di cuore" (of skin and heart) underscores a yearning for a life driven by genuine emotions and experiences.

The imagery of children playing under the sun and drawing the sky symbolizes innocence and hope. Despite the confusion and the feeling of being enslaved by indecision, the narrator finds solace in the purity and simplicity of children's actions. This contrast highlights the importance of maintaining hope and striving for a better future, even when the present feels overwhelmingly uncertain. The repetition of "io non so cosa fare" (I don't know what to do) conveys a universal feeling of helplessness, yet it also serves as a call to action to find clarity and purpose amidst the chaos.
