Sogni D'Oro

Lazza's 'Sogni D'Oro' delves deep into the artist's introspective journey, exploring themes of identity, success, and the emotional toll of his career. The song opens with a profound question: 'Ti sei mai chiesto chi saresti se non fossi chi sei?' (Have you ever wondered who you would be if you weren't who you are?). This sets the stage for a reflection on the paths not taken and the potential consequences of different life choices. Lazza imagines a grim alternative reality where he might be begging on the streets or worse, highlighting the precarious nature of his success.

The lyrics then transition into a critique of the music industry and the superficiality he perceives within it. Lazza describes his decade-long struggle as an artist, likening his flow to a powerful slap and expressing frustration with audiences who seem to understand but ultimately don't grasp his message. This sentiment is encapsulated in the line, 'Parlo a una folla che sembra capisca, ma non capisce nulla' (I speak to a crowd that seems to understand, but they understand nothing). His disdain for the industry's 'stupido format' (stupid format) underscores his desire for authenticity and meaningful connection.

Throughout the song, Lazza grapples with feelings of emptiness and disconnection, despite his outward success. He confesses to feeling cold and detached, comparing himself to a morgue and admitting that he hasn't had 'sogni d'oro' (golden dreams) for a long time. This emotional numbness is further emphasized by his reluctance to smile for photos, as they are 'fuori fuoco' (out of focus). The song closes with a poignant reflection on the cost of his achievements, as he balances financial success with personal sacrifices, ultimately seeking peace in the midst of his ongoing battles.
