FRASCATI Lyrics – Taco Hemingway

FRASCATI Lyrics Meaning

[Zwrotka 1: Taco Hemingway]
He is walking alone through the city at night, feeling the rain and carrying his thoughts with him. Familiar places feel empty and dead, like his past no longer fits him. He moves through streets he once knew well, stopping at cheap bars that feel sticky and sad. Conversations feel hollow, and alcohol becomes a way to quiet the loneliness. What once felt exciting now feels heavy and unhealthy. His emotions grow darker instead of hopeful. He feels disconnected from himself, staring into a mirror and not recognizing who he has become. The city reflects his inner state, cold, tired, and stuck between who he was and who he is now, with memories echoing softly as he keeps moving forward.

[Refren: Livka]
At night the people he passes look ghostly and distant, like lights in darkness. The streets feel restless and sleepless, turning his walk into a waking nightmare. He wanders without direction, slightly drunk, sending messages that show confusion, longing, and a need to be noticed.

[Zwrotka 2: Taco Hemingway]
When he steps outside, he hears young people shouting with energy and belief. They still think they can change the world, and life has not disappointed them yet. He once felt the same but had to let it go. Now everything feels like business and empty deals. Crowds gather in popular places, but he avoids them, feeling too drained to join. Instead, he walks toward quieter streets. He keeps getting messages on his phone, but they are not really meant for him. The person he wants attention from is focused on someone else, which deepens his quiet frustration. This makes the night feel longer, heavier, and full of unspoken jealousy and regret that he carries silently inside himself.

[Refren: Livka]
People’s eyes glow in the dark like small memorial lights, making the city feel unreal. The streets stay awake all night, trapping him in a bad dream. He walks without a plan, tipsy and lost, typing messages that reveal loneliness and confusion.

[Zwrotka 3: Taco Hemingway, Taco Hemingway & Livka]
He checks his phone, curious about a red-haired girl, even though he knows alcohol makes him act foolish. A friend once warned him not to message people while drunk, advice he ignored. He notices a couple kissing nearby and feels an urge to interfere. He wants to tell the guy that love will not save him or fix his problems. He imagines the relationship ending badly, leaving hurt behind. Part of him wants the guy to stand up for himself, take his things back, and show some rebellion. These thoughts reveal his bitterness and his own unresolved pain, projected onto strangers, showing how lost and emotionally tangled he feels during the night walk alone outside bars and streets.

[Refren: Livka]
Glowing eyes of strangers turn the night into something haunting and sad. The city feels awake but empty, like a bad dream you cannot escape. He keeps wandering with no destination, a bit drunk, sending messages that expose his need for connection.

[Zwrotka 4: Taco Hemingway]
The person he thinks about exists only in his head, and he wonders how long that illusion can last. His living conditions feel suffocating, small, and mentally exhausting. The neighborhood feels strange and unsettling, adding to his fatigue. He no longer has energy to chase feelings or drama. Passing a church, he imagines being judged or guided, as if someone is waiting for his confession. He hopes for a sign before he completely sinks. Suddenly, a desperate cry cuts through the quiet, reminding him that others are also drowning and asking for help in the same city, sharing fear, loneliness, and the need to be saved somehow tonight.
