“Fossi Figo” is a tongue-in-cheek confession from someone who daydreams about being the ultimate cool kid. Elio e le Storie Tese cram the lyrics with comic exaggerations: the narrator pictures himself strutting into the right clubs, flexing perfect abs, and flaunting a lush (yet obviously fake) head of hair. His fantasy checklist includes:
Under the playful surface, the song pokes fun at society’s obsession with looks and status. As the narrator’s wish list grows, so does the absurdity, until he finally admits he might never be “figo” on the outside. The punch line? He’s “bello dentro” – beautiful inside. The band turns self-deprecation into a witty reminder that chasing superficial perfection can be hilarious, exhausting, and ultimately unnecessary.
