LUCCA LODGAN: MET GALA 2025
"Let me tell you a story"...
Lucca sussurra no microfone, o palco estava todo apagado, e logo as luzes começam a se acender com calma. Lorgdan havia trocado a roupa do Red Carpet, revelando um novo look.
"Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't sweet
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
But I think that it could work for you and me
It's not the end of the story"
O italiano continua a cantar no mesmo tom sussurrado de antes, finalizando a parte de "The Story" na performance. O instrumental de James Dean começa a tocar e o cantor foca apenas no seu refrão.
And sweep it up under the rug like you normally do
And cuddle and nap in the club like you normally do
You got me, so know that you will"
O palco quadrado estava com um tom de púrpura simplesmente por causa da iluminação que utilizava tal cor. Não havia tanta decoração assim, apenas uns instrumentos (quem os tocava também estava lá).
"Your breath smells a little bit like a lit cigarette
Your skin covers your sins like a silhouette
But your kiss is the softest thing I've ever felt before, before
Wearing thrift store James Dean jeans, you're made for sex
Used to spend the nights alone on the dark internet
And now you spend the nights instead with me in bed, you know"
Em menos de um minuto e meio, duas músicas já foram cantadas. Logo o instrumental sintetizado das três faixas seguintes começavam a se misturar, criando uma "mix up" de Hipnotised, Pretty Boy e What A Perfect Day For Crying.
I'm sobbing in the car with the radio on
What a perfect day for crying
What a perfect day for crying"
Após cantar o refrão de WAPDFC, Lucca começa a cantar o refrão da outra canção, Hipnotised, em uma versão mais animada, enquanto as backing vocals cantava novamente o refrão da faixa já cantada anteriormente.
"Surround me, body and soul
Pull me into your glow, make me blush
Unbound me, spin me in gold
As the story unfolds in your touch"
Who can breathe me into life?
Just one more look at you
My heart has been hypnotized"
O instrumental continuava do mesmo jeito que antes, dando a abertura para o refrão de Pretty Boy, para encerrar aqueles três primeiros minutos.
"I like to whisper your name
Come take my hand, run away
It's time for some fun today
Pretty boy, stop being coy
You're playing me, I'm not your toy
Pretty boy, let's not pretend
You're way too cute to be a friend"
Logo, toda a energia frenética do palco começava a se acalmar, dando uma abertura para uma faixa começar.
"The way you felt in my arms
Oh, I fell for your charm
But you left me in the dark
And my heart completely vacant
Now I don't know oh oh oh oh oh oh oh"
Lucca agora havia pegado um pequeno banquinho e estava sentado, cantando aquela música calma e singela.
"Is your heart just preconditioned for brevity?
I don't mean to accuse you of refusing longevity
But I cannot excuse you for abusing my empathy
But you gave the impression
That this was the inception
Agora a iluminação tinha um tom de azul-céu, entrando naquela vibe da música. Azul transmite calma, paz, e muitas vezes, deixam as pessoas confortadas.
"The way you felt in my arms
Oh, I fell for your charm
But you left me in the dark
And my heart completely vacant
Now I don't know oh oh oh oh oh oh oh"
"How you could look me in the eye
And tell me that you love me
When you knew it was a lie
I was headed for Kentucky
When you called to say goodbye
How did I not see it coming?
Now I don't know oh oh oh oh oh oh oh"
A música havia sido cortada, para dar um espaço para que a próxima e a última faixa fosse apresentada completa.
"The way you felt in my arms
Oh, I fell for your charm
But you left me in the dark
And my heart completely vacant
Now I don't know oh oh oh oh oh oh oh"
– Queria apenas apresentar para vocês, Talk Me Down, ela será o próximo single do meu EP.
O instrumental mais mórbido e frio de Talk Me Down se iniciava.
"I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna come home to you
But home is just a room full of my safest sounds"
"'Cause you know that I can't trust myself with my 3:00 a.m. shadow
I'd rather fuel a fantasy then deal with this alone"
"I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
"I wanna hold hands with you
But that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna get close to you
'Cause your hands and lips still know their way around, ooh"
Mudando mais uma vez, a iluminação do palco era um azul escuro. O azul anterior era um azul de paz, um azul que poderia até transmitir certa felicidade, o de agora, transmitia apenas dor.
"And I know I like to draw that line when it starts to get too real
But the less time that I spend with you, the less you need to heal"
"I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
So come over now and talk me down"
A música já estava quase encerrando, e Lucca estava completamente emocionado. Era uma das músicas mais importantes e emocionantes do seu projeto. Ele se segurava para não chorar.
"But I wanna sleep next to you
And I wanna come home to you
I wanna hold hands with you
"But I wanna sleep next to you
And that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna come home to you
But home is just a room full of my safest sounds
– Obrigado. – Lucca agradece para o público, sorrindo e acenando.
