LA PROMESSA DELL'ANNO

Madame's song 'La Promessa Dell'Anno' is a powerful and raw expression of defiance and self-awareness. The title, which translates to 'The Promise of the Year,' sets the stage for a narrative that challenges societal expectations and the superficial judgments often made by the media. Madame's repeated use of the phrase 'vaffanculo a tutti' (which translates to 'fuck everyone') underscores her rejection of sycophants and those who seek to define her worth through shallow accolades.

The lyrics delve into the internal struggle of having a 'world inside' and the difficulty of expressing it. Madame uses vivid metaphors, such as fishing out her thoughts from her intestines and vomiting the essence of her discourse, to illustrate the painful process of self-expression. She questions whether she will be judged as deserving or mistaken, rich or destitute, and ultimately suggests that true understanding of her will only come posthumously. This existential contemplation is further emphasized by her disdain for suffering and euphoria, preferring to 'annullarmi' (annihilate herself) to avoid waking her inner demons.

Madame's raw honesty continues as she describes her isolation and physical discomfort, symbolized by a 'schiena di merda' (shitty back) and the need for rest. She acknowledges her unique talent and the burdens it brings, contrasting herself with others who lack her authenticity. The imagery of being 'cut with glass dust like ganja' and being a 'cigarette of magical substances' highlights her complex identity as both fragile and powerful. The song concludes with a sense of resigned defiance, as she continues to reject societal norms and expectations, embracing her true self despite the cost.
