L'ULTIMA POESIA (feat. Ultimo)

Geolier's song "L'ULTIMA POESIA (feat. Ultimo)" delves deep into the complexities of love, loneliness, and the struggle to connect with another person. The lyrics, sung in Neapolitan dialect, paint a vivid picture of a relationship fraught with emotional turbulence. The song opens with the imagery of solitude and the difficulty of truly understanding another person. The line "Na vita nn’è abbastanza pe te conoscere in fondo" (A lifetime isn't enough to know you deeply) suggests that the person in question is enigmatic and hard to reach, making the relationship even more challenging.

The chorus highlights the paradox of love and loneliness. The phrase "T’annammure pecché nn’vuò stà tu sola, Ma staje sola pure si staje cu'mmé" (You fall in love because you don't want to be alone, but you're still alone even when you're with me) captures the essence of the emotional disconnect between the two lovers. This sentiment is further emphasized by the metaphor of an embrace being a chain to the soul, indicating that their love, while passionate, is also confining and painful.

Geolier and Ultimo also touch upon the theme of growth and change, or the lack thereof. The lyrics "Nn'criscimmo maje pecché criscimmo troppo ampresso" (We never grow up because we grew up too fast) reflect a sense of arrested development, where the characters are stuck in a cycle of emotional turmoil. The song concludes with the poignant line "E t'aggio scritto l'ultima poesia" (And I wrote you the last poem), symbolizing a final attempt to capture and perhaps salvage the essence of their relationship. This last poem serves as a bittersweet farewell, acknowledging the enduring presence of the other person even as they part ways.
