Light filters from above and it almost looks nice

I never like sh*t

But this morning's different

My brain's spinning

It spins, it stalls if I'm already thinking dark

Picture I've got the sea and that's where I leave

My worries to drown so things get clear

Every accent has its place

Every vinegar has its must

I've got diabetes and it's a monster

Dry leaves in the woods

Creaks along the way

When we split up

Going back home

When the sun sinks slowly

Then deck the streets with tables, vanish, come back

Escape, die to live better

To live in time to live its time

To really live that time

Cars, the vehicle

Hands with the middle finger

Bursts, the wind

Stay or remedy

Rowers behind me, rivals I slow down

Revenge of friends I hold dear and keep behind me

And I haven't heard you for days

And I'm traveling alone

And I don't expect you back

But not even that I fly 'cause

When I glide from above

I really see the world

You go slow, I leave

I already knew anyway that

If somebody gives me strength

Bro, I beef up like that, you do you

Nobody gives me strength

But I get by like this, man

I wear chic men's clothes in dreams

But in reality I wear jeans

I don't go down on skis but head out with whoever

Shows they can truly get me

I was thinking of you and me

Lying naked in the bed

I don't want the blankets

Because they cover pride

So I take from you and you take from me

As if it was our day

Like you and I were vanishing in a second

Months late on rent

I remember myself as a kid

Everything I want I don't have

Every rose he sells has won

Every pose you snap is weight

Everything you smash is black

Every joint I roll is one problem less

Every time I smash it I really wreck myself

We eat, but eating alone tires me

Like every time alone in this room

Sunk in the dark, tons of papier-mâché, hot beast

My gym's made of notes

At night my forehead gets wet

But who gives a f*ck about water

The tear on my face, if I cut I smile

It cracks if I don't have to pay for this water

And you're not like me

You haven't slept in the station with me

You didn't call friends

To see if there was a bed

Even burned, even worn-out

I've never put down a penny, bro

Just because I didn't have it

And there's no ER

Only the light coming from the sky

And I haven't heard you for days

And I'm traveling alone

And I don't expect you back

But not even that I fly 'cause

When I glide from above

I really see the world

You go slow, I leave

I already knew anyway that

If somebody gives me strength

Bro, I beef up like that, you do you

Nobody gives me strength

But I get by like this, bro

I wear chic men's clothes in dreams

But in reality I wear jeans

I don't go down on skis but head out with whoever

Shows they can truly get me

I was thinking of you and me

Lying naked in the bed

I don't want the blankets

Because they cover pride

So I take from you and you take from me

As if it was our day

Like you and I were vanishing in a second

SONG MEANING

Bright morning light filters through the blinds and Izi suddenly feels that the world, for once, might be beautiful. "Chic" is a stream-of-consciousness journey where the Italian rapper contrasts fragile hope with gritty memories: sleeping in train stations, calling friends for a half-burned mattress, drowning his fears in the sea, and dreaming of polished dinners on streets turned into banquet tables. The song’s imagery flips constantly—dry leaves crunching underfoot, diabetes called a monster, paper mountains of unfinished lyrics—mirroring the way his mind spins between optimism and anxiety.

In the hook he jokes about wearing the elegant clothes of “chic” men only in his dreams, while in real life he sports worn-in jeans and carries his resilience like an invisible badge. No one hands him strength, so he forges it alone, taking just enough love from a partner who truly understands him. «Se qualcuno mi da la forza, fra’ mi rafforzo così» becomes a mantra of self-reliance: life is messy, but he will keep moving, keep writing, and keep finding beauty, even if it flickers for only a second.
