Destri

Gazzelle's song 'Destri' is a poignant reflection on the end of a relationship and the struggle to come to terms with its sudden collapse. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has unexpectedly flown away, leaving behind a small cloud, a metaphor for the lingering presence and memories of the relationship. The artist expresses a desire for closure, even if it's in the form of a lie or a final shared cigarette, highlighting the raw need for some form of acknowledgment before parting ways.

The song uses imagery of two poorly grown flowers on the edge of a bypass, under the shadow of a hospital, to symbolize the troubled growth and environment of the relationship. References to the sea, Christmas lights, and shared mundane experiences like a manual Panda car and a shared toothbrush evoke a sense of nostalgia for the intimate, everyday moments that once brought joy. The contrast between these warm memories and the current cold reality underscores the pain of loss.

The chorus repeats the idea that neither party is to blame for the inability to rekindle the light within the relationship or to return to those cherished moments. The repeated phrase 'destri, destri, destri' could be interpreted as 'rights, rights, rights' in Italian, possibly signifying the punches or the right choices that still fail to fix what has been broken. The song captures the essence of a love that, despite its bright moments, has dimmed and the struggle to accept that some beautiful experiences are confined to the past.
