Soldi Puliti

In 'Soldi Puliti,' Shiva delves into the complexities of success, wealth, and the inherent struggles that come with them. The song opens with a vivid image of entering parties uninvited, symbolizing a rebellious and audacious attitude towards societal norms. The phrase 'mischiando il profitto coi soldi puliti' (mixing profit with clean money) suggests a blend of legitimate and possibly illicit earnings, highlighting the blurred lines between right and wrong in the pursuit of wealth.

Shiva's lyrics are rich with metaphors and cultural references. The mention of 'La B sta per Brabus, ha sete di litri' (B stands for Brabus, thirsty for liters) refers to a luxury car brand, symbolizing opulence and a thirst for more. The recurring theme of death being close, 'La morte è vicina, sta a nove millimetri' (death is near, it's nine millimeters away), adds a layer of existential dread and the constant presence of danger in his life. Despite the material success, symbolized by brands like Hermes, Shiva acknowledges that wealth does not change his core relationships or solve his problems.

The song also touches on the impact of familial and societal influences. Shiva reflects on the difficulties imposed by a father's mistakes and the coldness of human interactions, 'Gli errori di un padre rendon la tua vita molto più difficile' (a father's mistakes make your life much harder). This introspection is juxtaposed with a defiant stance against critics and enemies, emphasizing that his success is the best revenge. The line 'Il mio successo è la miglior rivincita' (my success is the best revenge) encapsulates this sentiment.

Shiva's 'Soldi Puliti' is a raw and honest portrayal of the dualities in his life—success and struggle, wealth and danger, love and betrayal. It paints a picture of a man navigating the complexities of his environment, striving to maintain his integrity while dealing with the harsh realities of his world.
