Special K lyrics:

Coming up beyond belief
On this coronary thief
More than just the leitmotif
More chaotic, no relief

I'll describe the way I feel
Weeping wounds that never heal
Can the savior be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
And never ever wanna crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand

Gravity, no escaping
Gravity
Gravity, no escaping
Not for free
I fall down, hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around

I'll describe the way I feel
You're my new Achilles' heel
Can the savior be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
And never ever wanna crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand

Gravity, no escaping
Gravity
Gravity, no escaping
Not for free
I fall down, hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around

No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity
Gravity
Gravity

Avevo 15 anni, Brian Molko diventò il mio mito e lo è ancora oggi. Nonostante non sia mai stato un grande fan della sua musica, due giorni dopo questa apparizione a Sanremo comprai il CD. Stima totale.

Ogni ragazzino ha un momento chiave in cui la sua vita cambia... Il mio è stato questo. Quella sera. Imbambolato davanti la tv con gli occhi sbarrati e la bocca aperta. Per me, l'incipit di ogni cosa. Una rivelazione, un rapimento totale del cuore e della mente. Grazie Brian. Non dimenticherò mai quella sera in cui tutto mi è divenuto molto più chiaro.

[SunsetCuttlefish]

I'm italian and... you're so great!!!! god job!!!! The only best moment of Sanremo.

[nicolobizzini]

As an Italian, one of the best things that happened at the Sanremo Festival

[antoniomodola]

La Lguria blissima...ogni volta che sarò nel posto sbagliato al momento sbagliato dirò questa frase. Grandi Placebo!

[enjoytube]

Ci sembrava la reazione più adatta, a quel tempo. Eravamo scazzati perchè nessuno ci aveva detto come era il Festival. Ci sembrava di essere finiti in mezzo a una sciarada. A nessuno gliene fregava assolutamente niente di noi. Quando venne il nostro momento, c’erano in platea tutti questi vecchi grassi in giacca e cravatta, con le loro donne in abito da sera. Qualcosa ha fatto click nella mia testa ed è scattata una reazione primordiale. Vaffanculo tutta ’sta roba, mi sono detto; non dovrei nemmeno essere qua! La sola cosa che mi è rimasta impressa nella memoria era la gente che dallla sala mi gridava: “Pezzo di merda (BRIAN MOLKO)

I was young and i was watching the Sanremo festival with my parents. I said to my mom "who are they? i like this song! why he breaks his guitar?? They are great, why that fat people insult them!" Since that day i'm still loving Placebo and Brian Molko... and hating Sanremo

[ambrarotondo]

This is the most iconic moment on italian tv history. LUNDRAH

[silviabenaudo]

Musicista avanti anni luce da quelle canzonette sanremesi degli anni 90.

[melaniemisa]

Iconic moment when Brian forgets they're "lip syncing" 😂 ( 2:11 ). Anyway ... I love it! Magnificent performance 🖤💫

[alessioaccardi]

Uno dei momenti migliori a sanremo, ero incollato alla tv tutti si aspettavano problemi con Eminem che invece si limitò solo ad un dito medio quasi velato...la vera rivelazione furono i Placebo con finalone alla Who ( e Nirvana ) :) MITICI :) hanno risvegliato quel pubblico di mummie impacchettate in prima fila

[TINFOIL]

With that kind of audience, and asking a band like Placebo to mime. They got exactly what they deserved. Placebo pure genius.

[gianlucadippolito]

2024 sempre miglior esibizione e finale 🙌🙌🙌

[LPGirlE]

Italians think really high of Sanremo, it's a storical music festival for Italy but, as an Italian, I really can't get why they want artists to lipsync. Asking an artist to lipsync is like an insult, and I'm so glad they reacted.

[chrisdangelo]

Altro che achille lauro di sta mazza.
Almeno questa era musica, questi suonavano.

Grandi Placebo

[adamgibby]

Briana and the rest of the band are artists, and no artist ever wants to lip sink, he handled the crowd vey well. GO PLACEBO

[humpfrog]

I like to fantasize they're singing about everyone's fav breakfast cereal!

[mattiaperozzo]

I'm an italian living in London and placebo is my favourite group, I remember watching this performance and screaming, I think this was the time I fell in love with them

[IreAirin]

How all started for me ❤❤ I could not stand watching Sanremo with my parents, then Placebo came, played and mess it all up... and I deeply felt in love with them

[kurtwild]

As an Italian I can say that this one of the greatest Sanremo moment, thank you guys!🖤
