ORIGAMI ALL'ALBA

Clara's song 'ORIGAMI ALL'ALBA' delves into the emotional turmoil and introspection that follows a significant breakup. The lyrics are imbued with a sense of loss and longing, as the protagonist grapples with the end of a relationship. The recurring motif of 'origami all'alba' (origami at dawn) symbolizes the intricate and delicate process of dealing with one's thoughts and emotions during the quiet, reflective hours of the early morning. This imagery suggests a meditative and almost therapeutic activity, representing the protagonist's attempt to piece together their fragmented feelings.

The song's verses convey a deep sense of pain and confusion. Lines like 'Forse morirò, forse ti mancherò' (Maybe I'll die, maybe you'll miss me) and 'Ho un nodo stretto in gola come fosse una cravatta' (I have a tight knot in my throat like a tie) vividly depict the physical and emotional strain of heartbreak. The protagonist acknowledges their lost direction and the difficulty of moving on, as seen in 'Ero sulla strada buona, ma poi mi sono persa' (I was on the right path, but then I got lost). Despite the anguish, there is a recognition that every ending is a new beginning, encapsulated in the line 'Ogni inizio ha una fine, ogni film un finale' (Every beginning has an end, every film a finale).

The chorus reinforces the theme of cyclical renewal and the passage of time. 'Ogni notte che fa giorno, ci sarà un nuovo tramonto' (Every night that turns into day, there will be a new sunset) serves as a reminder that life goes on, and new experiences await. The protagonist remains awake, surrounded by emptiness, yet finds solace in the act of creating origami, a metaphor for finding beauty and order amidst chaos. This act of creation at dawn signifies hope and the possibility of healing, even when done in solitude. Clara's poignant lyrics and evocative imagery offer a powerful exploration of heartache, resilience, and the journey towards self-discovery.
