[English]
Hands clasped as if praying
While deep down you devise
The way to kill me
Everything's clear now that you sink
I believed, my friend, you cared for me
There's no limit, there's really no limit
Even your face is already different
There's no limit, there's no limit to the worst
If you stay away from me, it's better
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
The day slips by more slowly
I question my thoughts, but everything is silent if
I look back, I hide in reflection
It scares me how everything has changed
There's no limit, there's really no limit
Even your face is already different
There's no limit, there's no limit to the worst
If you stay away from me, it's better
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
There's no limit, there's really no limit
Even your face is already different
There's no limit, there's no limit to the worst
If you stay away from me, it's better
There's no limit, there's really no limit
Even your face is already different
There's no limit, there's no limit to the worst
If you stay away from me, it's better
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never
Now or never, now or never, now or never

Key Grammar Structures

  • Mani giunte come se pregassi

    ➔ Subjunctive mood in hypothetical clauses: 'come se'

    ➔ The phrase "come se" (as if) introduces a hypothetical situation requiring the subjunctive mood ("pregassi"). It indicates that the action of praying is not real but rather a comparison.

  • Mentre in fondo escogiti Il modo per uccidermi

    ➔ Present subjunctive 'escogiti' (you devise/scheme). 'Mentre' (while) can introduce actions happening simultaneously, but here it hints at a hidden intention.

    ➔ The subjunctive form of "escogitare" suggests uncertainty or a hypothetical situation. Combined with "mentre" it implies a clandestine planning happening simultaneously with the apparent praying.

  • Tutto chiaro adesso che affondi

    ➔ 'Che' introducing a causal clause (now that you sink/are sinking).

    ➔ The conjunction "che" introduces a clause explaining why everything is now clear. It expresses a cause-and-effect relationship: because the person is metaphorically sinking, everything becomes clear.

  • Io credevo, amico mio, mi volessi bene

    ➔ Imperfect tense 'credevo' (I believed) indicating a past belief that is no longer true. Also, the use of 'volessi' is the imperfect subjunctive of 'volere', expressing a past hope or expectation that was not fulfilled.

    ➔ 'Credevo' sets the stage for a contrast with the current reality. 'Volessi bene' (that you wanted good for me) in the subjunctive shows the singer's disillusionment as the past belief about the other person's goodwill is now shattered.

  • Anche il tuo viso è già un altro

    ➔ Use of 'già' (already) to emphasize the change/transformation. 'Un altro' (another) implying a complete difference.

    "Già" underscores that the change in the person's face has already happened, and "un altro" indicates a complete and fundamental alteration in their appearance or character.

  • Se stai lontano da me meglio

    ➔ Conditional clause with implied result. 'Se' (if) + present indicative 'stai' (you stay) suggesting a general condition. 'Meglio' (better) is the implied result if the condition is met.

    ➔ The sentence implies: "If you stay away from me, it's better (for me/us)." The result (it's better) is understood rather than explicitly stated.
