Brivido

Guè Pequeno's song 'Brivido,' which translates to 'Thrill' in English, is a vivid exploration of the insatiable human desire for experiences that transcend the ordinary. The Italian rapper uses a series of comparisons to express a longing for something greater than the highs of drugs, wealth, and even life itself. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes this craving for something 'more'—more intense, more exhilarating, more fulfilling than the typical pleasures and successes that many people chase.

The verses delve deeper into the psyche of the artist, revealing a sense of dissatisfaction and a yearning for meaning. Guè Pequeno describes himself as 'professionally unhappy,' suggesting that no matter what he achieves or experiences, there's a persistent emptiness that remains unfulfilled. He uses metaphors like wanting to 'redraw the world' or 'walk on the moon like Armstrong' to illustrate his desire for profound change and new frontiers. The lyrics also touch on themes of rebirth and purity, indicating a wish to experience life and emotions in their most intense and unadulterated forms.

Marracash, featured in the song, adds another layer to the narrative by reflecting on the noise of the world that drowns out personal thoughts and feelings. He laments the loss of memory and the inability to recall what's been lost in a society where being honest is equated with being modest. His verse ends with a poignant image of a 'sweet death,' like a fly drowning in honey, which could symbolize the allure and danger of seeking such intense experiences. 'Brivido' is a complex tapestry of desires, fears, and reflections on life, ultimately expressing the human quest for something that can truly make one feel alive.
