MOSTRO

In 'MOSTRO,' gIANMARIA delves into the complexities of self-perception and the internal conflicts that arise from introspection. The song opens with a tender moment, a kiss on the forehead, symbolizing a connection and a sense of care. However, this moment is quickly juxtaposed with the artist's admission of being distracted by his own thoughts and emotions. This sets the stage for a recurring theme throughout the song: the struggle between external relationships and internal self-awareness.

The lyrics explore the artist's feelings of disconnection and confusion as he navigates his relationships with family and himself. The line 'Ora che sorella mia tu sei madre, dimmi se siamo ancora fratelli' reflects a sense of change and uncertainty in familial bonds. This is further emphasized by the artist's contemplation of his own actions and their impact on his relationships. The repeated question 'Che mi sono perso?' highlights a sense of loss and introspection, as the artist grapples with his own distractions and their consequences.

The chorus, with its poignant question 'Ma che ti sembro un mostro?' captures the essence of the song. It reflects the artist's fear of being perceived as a monster due to his self-absorption and the resulting distance from others. This fear is compounded by his own fleeting moments of self-doubt, as he admits to thinking of himself as a monster, even if just for a second. The song's introspective nature is further underscored by the artist's desire to find meaning in his actions and thoughts, as he seeks to reconcile his internal struggles with his external reality.

The song's closing lines, 'Stavo pensando a me,' encapsulate the central theme of self-reflection and the often painful process of understanding oneself. Through 'MOSTRO,' gIANMARIA offers a raw and honest portrayal of the inner turmoil that comes with self-awareness and the fear of being misunderstood by those around us.
