Picture this: you are on an ordinary morning errand with your mum when a quiet classmate storms in, ski mask on, gun raised, and turns the bank into his personal stage. That classmate is Nico, the anti-hero of Ulisse. With dark humour and razor-sharp rhymes, Lowlow lets Nico spit threats, philosophy, and social rage all at once. What starts as a stick-up quickly feels like a twisted TED Talk about fear, power, and the thrill of breaking every rule. Nico claims he “chose evil because good was boring,” so the hold-up becomes his warped quest for meaning, just like the legendary Ulysses searching for adventure.
Behind the cinematic violence sits a bigger message: Ulisse is a critique of a world where people feel invisible until they shock or destroy. Lowlow shows how frustration with bullies, hollow success, and a “decadent” society can boil over into chaos. Nico’s voices and paranoia symbolise the inner storms many hide, hinting that the real robbery is the one that steals our dreams and empathy. The track asks listeners to decide whether Nico is a monster, a mirror, or both, leaving us with an uneasy question: what happens when boredom turns into bullets?
