Throughout The Song Anna Oxa Asserts Her Individuality And Independence By Emphasizing What She Does Not Do Or Believe In. In The First Stanza The Lyrics Suggest That While Some People Follow The Wind Like A Kite And Change With Each Season Anna Oxa Does Not. This Can Be Interpreted As Her Refusal To Be Swayed By Outside Influences Or To Conform To Fickle Trends. Likewise She Rejects The Idea Of Putting One's Personal Life On Display For Others To See Referring To It As An Unpleasant Habit Or "brutta Razza" "bad Bunch" . The Chorus Further Emphasizes Anna Oxa's Determination To Resist Societal Pressures.

Anna Oxa Sings About A Flower Blooming Among The Branches Representing A Better Tomorrow. This Imagery Suggests That With Time Things Will Improve And There Will Be More Sunlight To Warm And Bring Joy.
