48h (part. Sfera Ebbasta)

In '48h,' Izi, featuring Sfera Ebbasta, delves into the complexities of personal identity, the passage of time, and the desire for more out of life. The song opens with Izi expressing a sense of disconnection from his past, lamenting that he no longer frequents the same places or feels the same way about his surroundings. This disconnection is further emphasized by his longing for the memories of his old self, suggesting a struggle with his current identity and the pressures of his lifestyle. The lyrics convey a sense of being overwhelmed, as Izi admits to feeling cursed and exhausted by his circumstances.

The chorus highlights a poignant desire for more time, with Izi wishing his days could last 48 hours instead of the usual 24. This longing for extended time reflects a deeper yearning for fulfillment and the need to accomplish more than what the constraints of a single day allow. The mention of his mother and the reassurance that he is trying to set things right adds a layer of personal responsibility and the pressure to meet familial expectations. The contrast between his past and present life is stark, as he reflects on how much has changed in just a few months.

Sfera Ebbasta's verse adds another dimension to the song, touching on themes of materialism and societal expectations. He reminisces about his childhood, where he felt excluded from the luxuries he now possesses. This shift from scarcity to abundance brings its own set of challenges, as he grapples with the perception that success has changed him. The imagery of feeling trapped and the reference to being a 'Trap king' underscores the tension between his public persona and his internal struggles. The song concludes with a repeated refrain of 'E allora no,' a defiant refusal to accept the status quo, encapsulating the artists' ongoing battle with their circumstances and the relentless pursuit of their true selves.
