Since Måneskin gained popularity after winning the Eurovision, I wanted to share with you my favorite song, Coraline, and the story behind it ( + english translation of the lyrics )
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, as beautiful as the sun
A warrior with a zealous heart
Those copper wires are precious
If you hear the bells singing
You'll see Coraline weeping
She takes the sorrow of others
And she carries it inside of her
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
It’s not for everyone to move on
With an heart split in two
She's a child but she feels
And sooner or later she'll break
People will say “She’s worth nothing,
She can't even walk out of a simple door”
But one day, just once, she will make it
And I told Coraline that she can grow up
Gather her stuff and then leave
But she feels a monster locking her in a cage
Covering her path with mines
And I told Coraline that she can grow up
Gather her stuff and then leave
But Coraline doesn't want to eat, no
Yes, Coraline would rather disappear
Coraline wants the sea but she is afraid of water
And perhaps the sea is inside of her
And each word is like an axe
And perhaps the river is inside of her, of her
I'll be the fire and the cold
I'll understand what's inside of you
And I'll be the water you drink
Or the light in the night
And I ask nothing in return
Each of your smallest tears
And I ask nothing in return
I'll be a banner, a shield
But she is afraid of water
And perhaps the sea is inside of her
And each word is like an axe
And perhaps the river is inside of her, of her
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths
Coraline, as beautiful as the sun
She lost the fruit of her womb
But a father who is nothing like a father
They told her “There’s a castle in the city
That if you go and live in there
Nothing will be able to reach you
Nothing will be able to break you”
It’s our fairy tale, the story of a little girl who can’t find her place in the world because she’s too pure and fragile. It tells, through a sweet melody, a journey that gradually becomes more and more distressing, that seems hopeless. [...] “Coraline” needs a clarification: it’s not the story of the knight saving the damsel in distress. The story ends badly, there is no happily ever after. It’s something real, it’s the withering of this flower, of this girl, and the knight is helpless and powerless in the face of what is happening. As for the name Coraline, it’s not inspired by the cartoon, by the film. The choice of the name is purely musical, phonetic. The story is a real story, one I will not talk about right now, turned into a fairy tale, and everyone can interpret it as they wish.
Damiano’s mom’s words : Coraline IS Måneskin. Coraline is Victoria, who suffers from anxiety. Coraline doesn’t want to eat, like Damiano, who suffered from an ED when he was only sixteen. Coraline has social anxiety, like Ethan. Coraline can’t sleep, like Thomas.
