Mal Di Gola

In "Mal Di Gola," Coez delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that has reached its end. The song opens with the artist waking up with a sore throat, a metaphor for the lingering pain and unspoken words that accompany the end of a romantic connection. The imagery of cold sheets and the phrase "sotto a chi tocca" suggest a sense of detachment and the inevitability of moving on. Coez captures the bittersweet nature of endings, acknowledging that while not everything concludes happily, the mere act of ending can bring relief.

The lyrics reflect on the duality of the relationship, where moments of genuine affection were intertwined with underlying dissatisfaction. Coez reminisces about the intensity of their bond, describing it as "ci si voleva bene da togliere il fiato," or loving each other to the point of breathlessness. This line encapsulates the passion and suffocation that often coexist in intense relationships. The mention of a photograph where the other person looks happy without him underscores the realization that both parties might be better off apart, despite the fond memories they shared.

As the song progresses, Coez contemplates the process of moving on, likening it to a school escape or a train journey on the Frecciarossa, symbolizing speed and transition. The acknowledgment that "tutto serve anche se ci ferisce"—everything serves a purpose even if it hurts—highlights the growth and understanding that can emerge from painful experiences. "Mal Di Gola" is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the complex emotions that accompany the end of a significant chapter in one's life.
