The first day of Spring, the city’s feeling brand new
No shade at Pitti, the people spilling out
I can’t believe I haven’t thought about you
Open the streets, no looking in the rearview
60 degrees but we can take it off
I can’t believe I haven’t thought about you
It’s time to leave, you went cold as winter
And with one final breeze, both of you let go of me
I’m starting to see
Everything looks better now
Replacing the scenes
Done self-deprecating till I burst at the seams
It’s all feeling different, but I know that it’s me
And everything feels better now
I can’t believe
I can’t believe
Called all my friends that I can fit in one room
Testing my speakers like they have never been used
Now I can breathe when I think about you
It’s getting late and I’ve been drinking for two
Shelving the memories that were colored by you
Now I can breathe when I think about you
It’s time to leave, you went cold as winter
And with one final breeze, both of you let go of me
I’m starting to see
Everything looks better now
Replacing the scenes
Done self-deprecating til I burst at the seams
It’s all feeling different, but I know that it’s me
And everything feels better now
I can’t believe
I can’t believe
Embracing Renewal and Letting Go
“No Shade At Pitti” by The Chainsmokers captures the spirit of emotional renewal in the aftermath of a difficult breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of springtime in the city, symbolizing new beginnings and the gradual release of past attachments. The phrase “I can’t believe I haven’t thought about you” repeats like a mantra, marking the protagonist’s surprise at finally moving forward. Social scenes, late nights, and reconnecting with friends highlight the healing process, while the shift from self-deprecation to self-acceptance underscores personal growth. The song’s recurring imagery of open streets and shedding memories evokes liberation, with the protagonist finally able to breathe and embrace the future.
