Description
It's as if the whole world clenched its fists and pretended everything was under control. Her face is calm, her voice steady, but her fingers are betrayingly tapping a rhythm on her thigh, as if drumming out a distress code. The air smells of iron and adrenaline, where fear pretends to be courage and fatigue is just poor lighting. Everyone pretends they're holding on. That's how it should be - fake, but confidently. Somewhere between the needle and the microphone, between duty and burnout, lies that very limit. When you no longer know what drives you - faith, anger, or the habit of survival. But you still keep going. Because you can't fall first when there's a line of people behind you waiting for you to hold on. And yes, maybe the night won't give you the answer, but it will honestly show you who's faking it and who's genuinely spinning.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Il capo non mi ha visto affatto stanco e io ci credo
Cazzo, se sei bianco sembri fatto, togliti 'sto viso sfatto
Circa ventimila buone ragioni per star zitto e restare in fila
E non importa la cura, la soglia del dolore
La tua gente ti aspetta e ti rispetta
Con la stessa voglia e lo stesso fuoco
Del primo giorno e quando sarai pronto (fingo e spingo)
Torna pure a dare fuoco al mondo (stanotte non lo so, no, no, no)
Fingo e spingo
E tutti mi convincono che se fingo ancora
Un giorno sembrerà normale rimanere muto
Se non hai speranza perché chiedi aiuto?
Stanotte non lo so, no, no, no
Fingo e fingo
Stanotte non distinguo
E spingo e spingo quell'ago nelle vene
Paura o ipocrisia, chi è l'assassino? Entrambe
Quindi non costringerci (fingo e spingo)
A spargere altro sangue (stanotte non lo so, no, no)
Il posto in cui la vita mi lasciò non merita menzione
Non sei morto e non sei Dio
Non dimenticarlo che sei nato con una missione
Per la gente che ti aspetta in fila ore, ore ed ore
C'è chi si fida di te, che tu li possa curare
Come tu ti fidasti di loro, quindi fai quel che ti pare
Scegli tu il momento, basta cazzate
E mettiti a cantare (fingo e spingo, stanotte non lo so, no, no, no)
Fingo e spingo
E tutti mi convincono che se fingo ancora
Un giorno sembrerà normale rimanere muto
Se non hai speranza perché chiedi aiuto? (Fingo e spingo)
(Stanotte non lo so, no, no, no)
Fingo e fingo
Stanotte non distinguo
E spingo e spingo quell'ago nelle vene
Paura o ipocrisia, chi è l'assassino? Entrambe
Quindi non costringerci (fingo e spingo)
A spargere altro sangue (stanotte non lo so, no, no)
Ora è il turno dei grandi
Che hanno un grande segreto
Senza scomodarti
Abbandonati ai fatti
Concediti all'evento
All'innamoramento eterno
Fingo e spingo
Stanotte non lo so, no, no, no
Fingo e spingo
E tutti mi convincono che se fingo ancora (ancora)
Un giorno sembrerà (ancora) normale rimanere muto
Se non hai speranza perché chiedi aiuto? (No, oh) (fingo e spingo)
Stanotte non lo so, no, no, no (no, no, no)
Fingo e fingo
Stanotte non distinguo (no, no)
E spingo e spingo quell'ago nelle vene (spingo e fingo)
Paura o ipocrisia, chi è l'assassino? Entrambe
Quindi non costringerci a spargere altro sangue
English translation
The boss didn't see me tired at all and I believe it
Fuck, if you're white you look stoned, take off that tired face
About twenty thousand good reasons to shut up and stay in line
And it doesn't matter the treatment, the pain threshold
Your people wait for you and respect you
With the same desire and the same fire
Of the first day and when you're ready (I pretend and I push)
Go back and set the world on fire (I don't know tonight, no, no, no)
I pretend and push
And everyone convinces me that if I'm still pretending
One day it will seem normal to remain silent
If you have no hope why ask for help?
Tonight I don't know, no, no, no
I pretend and pretend
Tonight I don't distinguish
And I push and push that needle into my veins
Fear or hypocrisy, who is the killer? Both
So don't force us (I pretend and push)
To shed more blood (I don't know tonight, no, no)
The place where life left me is not worth mentioning
You are not dead and you are not God
Don't forget that you were born with a mission
For the people who wait for you in line for hours and hours and hours
There are those who trust you, that you can cure them
As you trusted them, so do as you please
You choose the moment, no more bullshit
And start singing (I pretend and I push, I don't know tonight, no, no, no)
I pretend and push
And everyone convinces me that if I'm still pretending
One day it will seem normal to remain silent
If you have no hope why ask for help? (I pretend and I push)
(Tonight I don't know, no, no, no)
I pretend and pretend
Tonight I don't distinguish
And I push and push that needle into my veins
Fear or hypocrisy, who is the killer? Both
So don't force us (I pretend and push)
To shed more blood (I don't know tonight, no, no)
Now it's the adults' turn
Who have a big secret
Without inconveniencing you
Surrender to the facts
Indulge yourself at the event
To eternal love
I pretend and push
Tonight I don't know, no, no, no
I pretend and push
And everyone convinces me that if I pretend again (again)
One day it will seem normal (again) to remain silent
If you have no hope why ask for help? (No, oh) (I pretend and I push)
Tonight I don't know, no, no, no (no, no, no)
I pretend and pretend
Tonight I don't distinguish (no, no)
And I push and I push that needle through my veins (I push and I fake)
Fear or hypocrisy, who is the killer? Both
So don't force us to shed more blood
