Måneskin - CORALINE

★ Intro ★
Tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline

★ Verse 1 ★
Coraline as beautiful as the Sun
Warrior with a zealous heart
Hair like red roses
Those precious copper threads, my love take them to me
If you hear bells ringing
You'll see Coraline crying
Taking the pain of others
And then taking it inside her

★ Bridge ★
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline

★ Verse 2 ★
But she knows the truth
It's not for everybody to move on
With a heart divided in two halves
It's cold already
She's a kid but she feels
Weighed down and sooner or later she will break
The people will say: "She's worth nothing
She can't even exit a miserable door"
But one day, one time she will be able to do it

And I told Coraline that she can grow up
Take her things and leave
But she feels imprisoned by a monster
Who covers her path with mines
And I told Coraline that she can grow up
Take her things and leave
But Coraline doesn't want to eat, no
Yeah Coraline would like to disappear

★ Chorus ★
And Coraline cries
Coraline is anxious
Coraline wants the sea but she's scared of water
And perhaps the sea is inside of her
And every word is an ax
A cut on the back
Like a raft sailing
In a swollen river
And perhaps the river is inside of her, of her

★ Verse 3 ★
I'll be the fire and the cold
Shelter in winter
I'll be what you breathe
I'll understand what's inside of you
And I'll be water to drink
The meaning of the good
I'll also be a soldier
Or the light in the evening
And I don't ask for anything in exchange
Just a smile
Every small tear of yours is an ocean on my face
And I don't ask for anything in exchange
Just some time
I'll be banner, shield
Or your silver sword

★ Chorus ★
And Coraline cries
Coraline is anxious
Coraline wants the sea but she's scared of water
And perhaps the sea is inside of her
And every word is an ax
A cut on the back
Like a raft sailing
In a swollen river
And perhaps the river is inside of her, of her

★ Outro ★
Tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truth
Coraline, Coraline
Coraline, as beautiful as the Sun
She lost the fruit of her loin
She didn't know love
But a father who has nothing of a father
They told her: "There's a castle in the city
With such strong walls
That if you go live in it
Nothing will be able to hit you anymore
Nothing will be able to hit you anymore"

I Måneskin sono un gruppo rock italiano originario di Roma e composto da Damiano David (voce), Victoria De Angelis (basso), Thomas Raggi (chitarra) ed Ethan Torchio (batteria).
Il loro nome, che significa “chiaro di luna”, viene dal danese, lingua d'origine della madre di Victoria.

La scalata al successo inizia nel 2017 con la partecipazione all'undicesima edizione del noto talent show X Factor. Non vincono, ottengono il secondo posto, ma questo basta per il trionfo morale e il boom di popolarità.

Nel dicembre 2017 pubblicano l'EP Chosen, che raccoglie i frutti del percorso ad X Factor e li lancia sul mercato discografico. Nell'ottobre 2018 è la volta del loro album d'esordio, Il ballo della vita.

Nel marzo 2021 il gruppo partecipa al Festival di Sanremo presentando il brano “ZITTI E BUONI”, con cui vincono la kermesse. Poche settimane dopo, esce il loro secondo album, Teatro D'ira – Vol.I. Nel maggio dello stesso anno, in virtù della vittoria a Sanremo, il gruppo rappresenta l'Italia all'Eurovision Song Contest: Rotterdam 2021 con il brano “ZITTI E BUONI”, vincendo la competizione a distanza di 31 anni dall'ultima affermazione italiana.
