CHIAMO IO CHIAMI TU Lyrics Meaning

[Strofa 1]
This part of the song talks about personal freedom and simple joys in life. The singer loves music, feeling free without judgment, and enjoying things like street food and the salty texture of hair after swimming in the sea. However, she also acknowledges a self-destructive side, calling herself “stupid” for sometimes hurting herself emotionally. The mention of her phone not getting a signal while surrounded by the ocean in Rio highlights a moment of isolation and introspection. Words can be empty, leaving a void, but sometimes, they are the only thing left to believe in.

[Pre-Ritornello]
Here, the singer reflects on how the relationship isn’t serious enough for heartbreak when one of them leaves. Lies are casually hidden behind words, and emotions feel like smuggled poetry—something beautiful yet secretive. She reminisces about when love was just a game, suggesting that things have become more complicated over time.

[Ritornello]
This chorus captures the back-and-forth dynamic of the relationship. It’s a game of pride—who will give in first and make the call? Both partners are emotionally stuck, knowing that reconnecting won’t change anything. The repetitive questioning of “Where are you?” shows uncertainty and distance. Despite feeling alone, they acknowledge that continuing like this is pointless. The phrase “It’s always Monday” suggests a feeling of repetition and dullness, as if they are trapped in the same situation over and over again. The idea of watching “the same movie” means reliving the same emotions without a resolution. She tells the other person not to wait for her but also asks them not to forget her, showing inner conflict. The repeated “Chiamo io, chiami tu” emphasizes their endless cycle of reaching out and pulling back.

[Strofa 2]
The singer compares their relationship to twisted ivy, meaning they are tangled together in an unhealthy way. They hold onto weak excuses just to keep things going, even though they are stuck in a kind of emotional limbo that feels almost like hell. She suggests that love should be something small and simple, but too many people damage their hearts by expecting more than what it really is.

[Pre-Ritornello]
Once again, she questions the seriousness of the relationship. If one person leaves, it’s just another small lie added to the pile. Love feels like contraband—something hidden and stolen rather than freely given. She remembers when things were fun and uncomplicated, hinting at nostalgia for a time when emotions weren’t so messy.

[Ritornello]
The cycle repeats—who will call first? They know it doesn’t matter because it will only lead back to the same unresolved feelings. They keep searching for each other but realize it’s pointless. Every time they go through this, it changes nothing. The mention of “It’s always Monday” reinforces the feeling of being stuck in a never-ending loop. She tells the other person not to wait for her, but at the same time, she doesn’t want to be forgotten.

[Bridge]
The singer reflects on her feelings, realizing how fragile their connection is. She once thought about their love as something delicate yet real. She wanted to hold onto this person, imagining a forever with them. But there’s an underlying sense that this was just an illusion—something she wished for but couldn’t truly have.

[Ritornello]
Once again, the cycle of emotions repeats. Nothing changes, and it feels like being stuck on an endless loop of Mondays, reliving the same emotional drama. She doesn’t want them to wait, yet she doesn’t want to be forgotten. The repetition of “Chiamo io, chiami tu” drives home the idea of this never-ending push and pull, where neither is willing to fully let go, yet they also can’t hold on.
