L'unica

“L'unica” by Zero Assoluto is a heartfelt exploration of rediscovery and the profound impact of a significant other. The song delves into the emotions of realizing the importance of someone special and the desire to embrace this newfound understanding. The lyrics convey a sense of regret for past hesitations and a determination to seize the present moment, symbolized by the lines “Preferisco ridere e lasciarmi andare” (I prefer to laugh and let go) and “E lasciarti stringere come non ho fatto per vigliaccheria” (And let you hold me like I didn't out of cowardice).

The recurring mention of “L'unica” (The only one) emphasizes the uniqueness and irreplaceability of the person in question. This individual is portrayed as the sole reason for the narrator to start anew, as highlighted in the lines “Perchè tu sei l'unica ragione per ricominciare ancora” (Because you are the only reason to start again). The song captures the essence of a pivotal moment where the narrator acknowledges the transformative power of this relationship, seeing it as the last chance to truly enjoy life and love.

The imagery of a lightning bolt, “Forte come un fulmine che distrugge e illumina” (Strong like a lightning bolt that destroys and illuminates), serves as a metaphor for the intense and illuminating nature of this connection. It suggests that while the relationship has the power to disrupt, it also brings clarity and enlightenment. The song's repetition of “L'unica risposta, l'ultima occasione” (The only answer, the last chance) underscores the urgency and significance of this moment, urging the narrator to embrace this opportunity fully.
