xaN

In 'xaN,' thasup delves into the complexities of modern life, particularly focusing on stress, superficiality, and the coping mechanisms people use to navigate these challenges. The repeated reference to 'X-N-A-N-X' is a clear nod to Xanax, a medication often used to treat anxiety and panic disorders. This sets the tone for the song, highlighting the artist's struggle with stress and the lengths to which he goes to manage it. The line 'Vivo con lo stress di chi fa stress' (I live with the stress of those who stress) encapsulates this sentiment, suggesting a cyclical nature of stress where the environment and the people around him contribute to his anxiety.

The lyrics also touch on themes of superficiality and societal expectations. thasup criticizes those who engage in illegal activities and fake personas, as seen in lines like 'Non è car-nevale leva il prezzo almeno se vuoi mas-cherare' (It's not carnival, at least remove the price if you want to mask). This metaphorical language underscores the artist's disdain for inauthenticity and the pressure to conform to societal norms. The mention of luxury brands like Bugatti and Gucci further emphasizes the superficial values that dominate contemporary culture.

Additionally, the song explores the duality of public and private personas. thasup reveals his vulnerability in the lines 'Nella notte scrivo ciò che ho dentro, poi col giorno fingo tutto a po' (At night I write what I have inside, then during the day I fake everything a bit). This dichotomy between his true self and the facade he presents to the world highlights the emotional toll of maintaining appearances. The song's raw and candid lyrics offer a glimpse into the artist's inner turmoil, making 'xaN' a poignant commentary on the struggles of modern life.
