carillon — chimes / music box

Carillon literally translates to "chimes" or "music box". It's a beautiful and somewhat uncommon word in everyday Italian, making it stand out in the lyrics.

In the context of the song, the line "In testa carillon girano all'indietro" (In my head, carillons spin backward) creates a surreal and introspective image. It suggests a mind replaying memories or thoughts in reverse, perhaps reflecting on the past or a distorted sense of time, adding a poetic layer to the otherwise gritty narrative.

"Fiori Del Male" translates to "Flowers of Evil," and this song paints a vivid picture of a life filled with luxury, danger, and temptation. The lyrics describe a world where success is measured by money and expensive jewelry, like "cold necklaces" and diamond watches. The artists portray themselves as "entrepreneurs without a diploma" who have found their own way to get rich, even if it means dealing with their inner "demons."

Throughout the song, there's a constant tension between resisting temptation and embracing it. The chorus warns, "Demons knock at the door, don't let them in," but later a verse flips this, saying, "Demons at the door, baby let us in." This contrast highlights a lifestyle of burning "flowers of evil," a metaphor for indulging in forbidden pleasures. The song is a confident declaration of their unstoppable rise, dismissing haters and comparing their power to that of gods like Zeus, all while acknowledging the problems and pressures that come with their success.
