Esiste

Peppino di Capri's song "Esiste" delves into the human longing for an ideal place, a utopia where everything is perfect and eternal. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a place where the fire never dies, the wind calls out to you, and life belongs to everyone and no one. This place, however, remains elusive and unattainable, existing only in the realm of dreams and desires. The singer acknowledges that he has never found this place, and his wishes remain suspended like the moon in a sky full of questions.

The song also touches on the nature of angels, who, despite having their wings broken, do not cry or lie, even when they tell lies. These angels symbolize the people who hold your hand when someone loves you, never tiring of telling you that happiness is a mere invention of poets, a simple rhyme between two words. This metaphor suggests that true happiness is an illusion, a creation of human imagination, yet it is something we all yearn for.

In the final verses, the singer pleads to be embraced and filled with music, to be made to believe that dreams can be real. He asks to be breathed in without being awakened, as even the smallest things can fill the heart. This plea reflects a deep desire for comfort and the hope that, despite the harsh realities of life, there is still room for dreams and the possibility of finding that perfect place, even if it is just a fleeting moment of happiness.
