Måneskin sings about a girl named Coraline who is struggling with anxiety and grief. She is described as being beautiful, with red hair like roses and a strong, passionate heart. However, she is also depicted as feeling the pain of others and carrying it within herself. The lyrics suggest that she feels trapped and wants to escape, but is held back by a "monster" that lays mines in her path and keeps her in a cage. Despite her struggles, the singer offers her support and tells her that she can grow and move on, but Coraline is too consumed by her anxiety and sadness to do so. The singer offers to be a source of strength and comfort for Coraline, asking for nothing in return except a smile and some time together. The lyrics at the end tell us that the reason for Coraline's struggles is because she has 'lost the fruit of her womb'.

Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline

Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline

Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline

Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline

Coraline beautiful like the sun

Warrior with a zealous heart

Hair like red roses

Precious those copper wires, love, bring them to me

If you hear bells singing

You'll see Coraline who cries

Who takes the pain of others

And then she carries it inside her

Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline

Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline

Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline

Coraline, Coraline

But she knows the truth

It's not for everyone to move forward

With the heart that is divided into two halves

It's cold already

She's a child but feels like a burden

And sooner or later she'll break

People will say 'She's worth nothing'

She can't even get out of a miserable door

But one day, once, she will succeed

Verse 1

And I told Coraline that she can grow

Take her things and then leave

But she feels a monster that holds her in a cage

That covers the road with mines

And I told Coraline that she can grow

Take her things and then leave

But Coraline doesn't want to eat, no

Yes, Coraline would like to disappear

Chorus 1

And Coraline cries

Coraline has anxiety

Coraline wants the sea but she's afraid of water

And maybe the sea is inside her

And every word is an axe

A cut on the back

Like a raft that sails in a flooded river

And maybe the river is inside her

Verse 2

I'll be the fire and the cold

Shelter in winter

I'll be what you breathe

I'll understand what you have inside

And I'll be the water to drink

The meaning of good

I'll also be a soldier

Or the light in the evening

And in return I don't ask for anything

Only a smile

Your every little tear

Is ocean above my face

And in return I don't ask for anything

Only a little time

I'll be banner, shield

Or your silver sword and

Chorus 2

And Coraline cries

Coraline has anxiety

Coraline wants the sea but she's afraid of water

And maybe the sea is inside her

And every word is an axe

A cut on the back

Like a raft that sails in a flooded river

And maybe the river is inside her

Postchorus

Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline

Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline

Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline

Tell me your truths, Coraline, Coraline

Outro 1

Coraline beautiful like the sun

She has lost the fruit of her womb

She has not known love

But a father who has nothing of a father

They told her in the city there is a castle

With walls so strong

That if you go to live inside

Nothing can hit you anymore

Nothing can hit you anymore
