Giorni Matti

Bassi Maestro's 'Giorni Matti' is a raw and introspective exploration of the chaos and disillusionment that permeate modern life. The song opens with Bassi Maestro reflecting on the inexplicable nature of certain events and the moral decay that seems to be an inescapable part of the world. He likens his desire to escape to Michael Douglas's character in 'Falling Down,' a film about a man who snaps under the pressures of daily life. This metaphor sets the tone for the song, highlighting the overwhelming stress and the need for a break from the relentless pace of existence.

The lyrics delve into the struggles of balancing work, personal life, and societal expectations. Bassi Maestro speaks of the monotony and dissatisfaction that come with routine, comparing the same old menu with a worse taste and the same taboos that make Italy a unique yet frustrating place. He mentions preferring falafel over bignè, symbolizing a rejection of traditional norms in favor of something different and perhaps more fulfilling. The imagery of having a vacation in a room and the sounds and smells of the countryside in a box further emphasize the longing for escape and simplicity in a complicated world.

APE's verse continues this theme of disillusionment, describing life as increasingly aggressive and unyielding. He speaks of the fleeting nature of hope and the difficulty of finding direction in a world that seems impossible to navigate. The verse is filled with a sense of resignation and a struggle to maintain autonomy and sanity amidst the chaos. ZAMPA's verse adds another layer, discussing the loss of love and the pervasive hostility and stress in society. He highlights the rarity of kindness and the universal pursuit of fame and success, which often leads to further disillusionment and oppression. The song concludes with a call to remain lucid and investigate doubts, even if it means appearing foolish, as a way to cope with the madness of everyday life.
