"Chiuso" is a song by Italian singer Umberto Tozzi. The lyrics depict a night of heavy drinking and the aftermath of the protagonist's actions. The song begins with the protagonist wondering about the time and the direction his head is spinning after a night of excessive drinking. The atmosphere is described as Irish, with a red sky over the city. The protagonist encounters a person who is looking for a fight without mercy. As the night progresses, the protagonist turns off the headlights of his car and laughs, unable to determine whether he should cry or not. When he turns around, the person he was with has already left. The chorus talks about being closed off, with rain tears on the windows and on the face, closed without any hint of happiness. However, the protagonist believes that we are never losers as long as we keep trying, even if it means hurting ourselves. He feels a sense of rebirth and a bit of dying every time. The second verse describes a love without compromise, measuring steps up and down, but there are no more red lips in the room. The protagonist is used to breathing the person like a sweet aerosol spray and admits wanting to call but chooses not to. He mentions that summer only lasts a day and he feels the first shiver, hoping for a return that doesn't happen. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the feeling of being closed off, not being a loser as long as we keep trying, and the cycle of feeling reborn and dying a little. The song ends with the repetition of the word "chiuso" (closed) multiple times. Overall, "Chiuso" explores the aftermath of a wild night, the feelings of loneliness, and the cycles of hope and disappointment in love. It reflects on the concept of closing oneself off emotionally, the struggle to find happiness, and the resilience to keep moving forward.
