Brividi
Shivers
I have dreamed of flying with you
On a bike made of diamonds
You told me you changed
I don't see the light in your eyes anymore
What's your fear?
A sea you can never touch the ground of
Even if sex isn't
The way out from the bottom
Come on, don't run away from here
Don't leave me this way
Naked and shivering
Sometimes I don't know how to express myself
And I would love you, but I always get it wrong
And I would steal for you a sky full of pearls
And I would pay to get away
I would even accept a lie
And I would love you, but I always get it wrong
And it gives me the shivers, shivers, shivers
You, waking me up in the morning
You, staining the bed with red wine
You, biting my skin
With your snake eyes
And you, the opposite of an angel
And you, like a cornered boxer
And you run away from here, you leave me this way
Naked and shivering
Sometimes I don't know how to express myself
And I would love you, but I always get it wrong
And I would steal for you a sky full of pearls
And I would pay to get away
I would even accept a lie
And I would love you, but I always get it wrong
And it gives me the shivers, shivers, shivers
Tell me I'm not right
I live locked inside a prison
I try to stay close to you
But I'm sorry if I end up fucking everything up
I can't tell you how I feel, it's a limit of mine
For one "I love you" I mixed my drugs with tears
I do not want anymore this poison
That we spit at eachother everyday
You see, I am here
On a bike made of diamonds, one of many others
Naked and shivering
Sometimes I don't know how to express myself
And I would love you, but I always get it wrong
And I would steal for you a sky full of pearls
And I would pay to get away
I would even accept a lie
And I would love you, but I always get it wrong
And it gives me the shivers, shivers, shivers

Salve
I am writing to you as you are a native Italian speaker and I hope you'll be kind enough to humour me.
Is it thinkable to interpret the line "Un mare dove non tocchi mai" as a situation where touching another person has become impossible or where it just is not done anymore?
Basically, I do not understand where the seafloor / (solid?) ground part comes from in your translation.
Looking forward to an answer :)

"Un mare dove non tocchi mai" definitely means "A sea where you can never touch the seafloor with your feet".
In the context of swimming, both in the sea and in swimming pools, the verb "toccare" without an object means that in Italian. For example "non tocco" means "I can't touch the seafloor".
Ciao!
Sorry for the late answer, but I hope that my answer might still be of use :)
Mahmood was really liberal with style figures and metaphors in this song (in the Sanremo winner's press conference he said that the "diamond bike" line doesn't mean a thing at all), so yeah, the seafloor line likely means what you said too.
It's not a common readymade sentence (we kinda have the opposite, "toccare il fondo" which can be translated as "hitting rock bottom"), though, so if you use "sei un mare dove non tocchi mai" in a sentence you just might sound overly poetical hahaha
Hope it helped x
