Succede

Il Volo's song 'Succede' delves into the profound and often inexplicable nature of love. The lyrics open with a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty, as the singer admits to not knowing how to conquer fear and feeling lost in a moonless night. This imagery sets the stage for a journey through emotional turmoil, where the skin is full of wounds, yet the act of smiling becomes a form of resilience. The phrase 'A me con te succede' (With you, it happens to me) suggests that despite the hardships, the presence of a loved one brings about a transformative experience.

The song continues to explore the unpredictability of life and love. The singer trembles like tulips in the wind, symbolizing fragility and the impact of external forces. However, the arrival of the loved one is likened to a gentle yet powerful force—a 'terremoto' (earthquake) and 'uragano' (hurricane). These natural phenomena represent the overwhelming and uncontrollable nature of love. The line 'Perché l'amore non si vede, sì, però succede' (Because love cannot be seen, but it happens) encapsulates the central theme: love is an invisible force that profoundly affects our lives.

The chorus reinforces the idea that love provides a sanctuary, a place to return to despite life's storms. The house symbolizes a safe haven where both individuals can always come back to each other. The repetition of 'Succede' (It happens) emphasizes the inevitability and natural occurrence of love, even when it cannot be seen or fully understood. The song concludes with a reassuring message that as long as they are together, nothing can truly harm them, highlighting the protective and enduring power of love.
