Bagagli (Improvvisazione)

Tedua's 'Bagagli (Improvvisazione)' is a raw and introspective exploration of his past, struggles, and aspirations. The song opens with a reference to Orange County, symbolizing a place of personal history and emotional baggage. Tedua speaks of the 'dramas' he still carries, hinting at unresolved issues and the weight of his past experiences. The 'hunger' he mentions is both literal and metaphorical, representing his drive and ambition forged during challenging times.

The 'baggage' Tedua refers to is a powerful metaphor for the emotional and psychological burdens that accompany those who have faced depression and marginalization. He hopes these burdens can be 'checked in,' or left behind, as he navigates through life. The imagery of finding a place 'only at the back and sides' suggests feelings of exclusion and being on the periphery of society. Tedua's background among 'marginalized kids' who were often in trouble and misunderstood adds depth to his narrative, highlighting a community of resilience and survival.

Tedua's journey is marked by moments of despair and triumph. He describes giving without receiving, yet finding a way to 'shine' in the darkness of his mind. This resilience is a testament to his inner strength and determination. The song also touches on the theme of lost connections, with Tedua expressing a longing to reconnect with someone from his past, even if it's just a fantasy. This longing underscores the human need for connection and the pain of lost relationships.

The latter part of the song delves into Tedua's artistic struggles and his relentless pursuit of success. He reflects on the sacrifices made, the self-doubt, and the pressure to excel. The mention of COVID-19 adds a contemporary layer to his struggles, emphasizing the additional challenges faced during the pandemic. Despite these hardships, Tedua's passion for his craft remains undiminished, and he vows to give his best, even if it means dying on stage. The song concludes with a powerful declaration of his commitment to his art, likening his freestyle to 'La Divina Commedia,' a nod to Dante's epic poem, symbolizing a journey through hell and back.
