La Rarit�

Song Meaning

The narrator grapples with an internal restlessness that clashes with a profound appreciation for a partner. He admits, "Sono sempre io / A voler esplodere / Non mi accontento mai," highlighting a constant urge for more, a desire to "conquistare le alte cime." Yet, this same partner is described as "mio grande dono / Motivo dei miei giorni," a source of immense value. The core tension lies in wanting to be fully present and not disappoint this significant person, while acknowledging an inner "uomo che c'è in me / A volte non risponde." The lyrics propose that the strength of the relationship is found in its "rarità." This isn't about perfection, but about the preciousness of what they have, especially given the narrator's admitted flaws. He asks the partner to "difendimi" and allow him to "giocare / Lasciami sbandare," suggesting a need for acceptance of his volatile nature. The repeated plea, "Fa che questo amore / Sia più grande del difetto," underscores the fragility and the conscious effort required to maintain this rare connection. The most striking aspect is the narrator's self-awareness, bordering on self-deprecation, contrasted with the partner's stabilizing presence. He sees himself as "quasi, quasi un animale" with "occhi sempre in giro," yet the partner's "qualità" acts as a grounding force. The refrain, "Tanto sai che torno / Sempre perché tu ci sei / Perché fuori, perché fuori piove," reveals a dependency on the partner as a safe harbor, a retreat from the external world and his own internal storms. This isn't just about returning; it's about returning *because* the partner exists, a testament to their unique importance.
