PEYOTE — English translation

Articolo 31 · italian → English

What "PEYOTE" means

A restless confession about chasing the wrong kinds of escape. The narrator recalls pretending to fit a posh crowd, then drifting through drug-fuelled nights and casual flings, before settling on a heady, reckless urge to run away with a partner. The title is slang for the hallucinogenic cactus, standing in for a dizzy, mystical high. The mood is playful, hedonistic and a little anxious, mixing party energy with a longing to leave everything behind.

Io
Me
Per un po' mi sono fatto crystal
For a while I played the bougie lifestyle
Che frequenta solo gente ricca
Only hanging around with rich people
Facevo finta per mettermi in vista
Faking it just to get noticed
