Kid Yugi
Lucifero (English translation)
From gunk, the first morning star
Lucifer as a kid, the prince, the dolphin
The saint's sins, the murderer's virtues
The air here is heavy, it'll crush the window
Set the pillows hovering, build [me] a fort
A great king's end leads the empire into decline
I smoke like a chimney, too much flesh around the soul
I don't feel anyone who's really close to me
You kiss me on the lips, you sign the poisoning
Now that my hugs remind you of cilice
Programmed to surrеnder, silicon in my veins
I tell mysеlf I'm a failure while outside they shout out to prodigy
I'll tread on my enemies, I'll use them as a trampoline
An instant of light is enough, I burn like a roll of film
Now that the way I humiliate myself has become profitable
Cry after cry, line after line
But this is not skin, it's pieces of a fetish
When I grope in the dark, hold me if I waver
White fly, swan black plumage
As much as I clean myself there's the evil inside me
Now that each word of yours weighs like a boulder
And your sweetest gaze stays grim
The evil that wears me down cannot be benign
Riddle me right, defuse the device
I don't do this for the fame, I don't want prestige
Neither for the money, get the retainer back
I don't do this for the women, to seem cooler
I don't rap for the trend, I won't be the last shout
It is not a matter of ego, I won't go around stiffly
It is not street stuff, the more I grow up the more it makes me sick
I don't do this for the fans, I don't need support
I don't want to change anything, The sky will remain grey
It's not for recognition, fuck every sacrifice
I don't do this for stardom, Kid Yugi anti-idol
I don't do this to save you, surely I'm not the type
I don't think I save me, I'm not that imbecile
I don't want no grace, I don't long for paradise
I don't have any vision, I always stay an undecided
I don't do this for respect, to seem bad
If I go to jail now, this won't have been needed
I don't do this for myself, it's not for egoism
It's not for a friend, to tell him we won
Neither for my parents, to seem like a good son
I don't do this for the status, to appear richer
I don't want to hear applause for some bullshit I wrote
To receive a prize and be part of the mechanism
No protagonism, I'm an introverted kid
I'm a slave to substances that with time will kill me
Don't put me to the side, there's the risk I slice
It's an open space prison and yet I don't sneak out
The pain was atrocious, what is left is a discomfort
The sword that hit me is now as big as a pin
Of an infinite wealth we're left only with the treasure chest
Of the last supper we're left with appetite
Of the last brawl even the bruise went away
When a hero falls, we're left only with the myth
Of the director a few frames, of the poet half a line
Of the philosopher the shape, of the musician a disc
Of the genius a formula, of the attack a video
The shadow of what is alive, the biography of the evil
Lucifer
