tempo

GIULIA BE's song 'tempo' is a heartfelt exploration of love, longing, and the desire to reconnect with a past relationship. The lyrics convey a deep sense of nostalgia and yearning, as the protagonist reflects on a lost love and wonders if it's possible to rekindle the romance by traveling back in time. The song opens with the protagonist expressing a desire to see their former lover again, despite not knowing their current whereabouts. This sets the stage for the central theme of the song: the longing to return to a specific moment in the past when the relationship was at its peak.

The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as it poses the question of whether traveling back in time could allow the protagonist to become their lover's 'great love' once more. The imagery of 'that day in September' and 'under the blanket' evokes a sense of warmth and intimacy, highlighting the cherished memories that the protagonist wishes to relive. The mention of 'sharing our biggest dreams' and 'letting your star guide me' further emphasizes the deep emotional connection that once existed between the two.

The song also incorporates elements of science fiction, with references to time travel and a DeLorean, a nod to the iconic time machine from the 'Back to the Future' movies. This adds a whimsical and imaginative layer to the narrative, as the protagonist pleads with the 'Lord of Time' to lend them a time machine to fix their past mistakes. The repeated question of whether there is still 'time to love you' underscores the urgency and desperation felt by the protagonist, making 'tempo' a powerful and relatable anthem for anyone who has ever wished for a second chance at love.
