Rosso Di Rabbia Lyrics in English Anastasio

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rosso Di Rabbia by Anastasio from Italian to English.
And you wanna know about my ghosts
I'm 21, I can still afford to get p*ssed
Words are my only weapons
And I wanna raise myself up to the sun
But I can't scrape this muck off me
I'd like to and I can't
It's no small thing
To scream while they snap photos of me
How do you feel?
Defused
How do you feel?
Defused
But tell me how can I
Who am a ticking time bomb
Hear that ticking stop
If the threat dies, the magic dies too
And it's not worth it
Whoever wants me to stop, God damn him
I've waited for this moment my whole life
I was born to explode
Start running
If I don't feel fear, what d'you want me to say?
I didn't wanna waste it like this
I didn't wanna waste my anger like this
I didn't wanna waste it like this
I didn't wanna waste my anger like this
Panic panic
I'm losing it
Someone stop me
Hurry up
Please
For pity's sake
Panic panic
I'm losing it
Someone stop me
Hurry up
Please
For pity's sake
You wouldn't have said
That this attack would fail
Drowned by the roar of applause
Prisoner in the jaws of photos and videos
But what saddens me is the terrorist
Exposed to public scorn
His bomb was a sham from the start
Buddy, I don't envy you
Sorry, but that's the rule
The saboteur, you know, has to sabotage himself
So, so hands off
The sentence is mine
Nobody among you humans can take it from me
You emotion freeloaders
Always chasing attention
You drain songs of their magic
Perfect, I'm a seasoned revolutionary, that's right
But if you really got what I said
Then you've seen a paralytic rise from the bed
And I didn't wanna waste it like this
I didn't wanna waste my anger like this
I didn't wanna waste it like this
I didn't wanna waste my anger like this
Panic panic
I'm losing it
Someone stop me
Hurry up
Please
For pity's sake
Panic panic
I'm losing it
Someone stop me
Hurry up
Please
For pity's sake
Panic panic
I'm losing it
Someone stop me
Hurry up
Please
For pity's sake
Panic panic
I'm losing it
Someone stop me
Hurry up
Please
For pity's sake

SONG MEANING

Imagine a 21-year-old rapper who feels like a ticking time-bomb, his only weapons are words and he is determined to launch himself "fino al sole". Rosso Di Rabbia paints that fiery red of anger: Anastasio wrestles with inner "ghosts", sticky doubts, and the fear of being disinnescato (defused) before he can truly explode. Every beat is a pulse of bottled-up energy that refuses to be silenced while cameras click and onlookers ask, "How do you feel?" The answer is panic, raw and unfiltered, shouted in a loop that mirrors an anxiety attack.

Yet the song is more than a personal outburst. Anastasio turns his rage toward a spectacle-hungry society that drinks up emotions, drains songs of their magic, and locks the artist in a cage of photos and applause. He mocks the idea of the failed "terrorist" whose bomb was always a farce, hinting that an artist must sometimes sabotage himself to survive the spotlight. In the end he repeats, "Non volevo sprecarla così, la mia rabbia" (I didn’t want to waste my anger like this), transforming fury into a bittersweet anthem about authenticity, youthful rebellion, and the high price of turning pain into performance.
