And all just to try to be liked, to get recognition. I sing that "I don't want to live every life, I don't want to see every place in the world, win by force." A bit of a reminder that we are not super heroes and we are not always enough of ourselves. And that therefore we should not be afraid to show our fragile part, our normal, maybe even "boring" part. I would like to invite those who listen to me to pick up a pen, write, rediscover the humanity in ourselves. Machines should help us do things, but always expressing what we are."|title=|source=|author=}}
Critics reception
Reviewing the Diari aperti. for All Music Italia, Fabio Fiume appreciated the "Jason Mraz-esque guitar that accompanies through to an easygoing aside" of the song, in which there are "vocal overlays and background choruses that are so 60s."{{Cite web |last=Recensioni) |first=Fabio Fiume (Interviste |date=10 November 2018 |title=Elisa - Diari Aperti - Recensione |url=https://www.allmusicitalia.it/recensioni/elisa-diari-aperti-copertina.html |access-date=26 April 2024 |website=All Music Italia |language=it}} In a less positive review, Mattia Barro of Rolling Stone Italia wrote that the song is not among the most innovative tracks on the album as it is "less intriguing for its winking at a somewhat outdated period of Italian indie."{{Cite web |last=Barro |first=Mattia |date=26 October 2018 |title=Elisa, punk con De Gregori |url=https://www.rollingstone.it/musica/news-musica/elisa-punk-con-de-gregori/433331/ |access-date=26 April 2024 |website=Rolling Stone Italia |language=it}}
