Lontano — English translation

Sfera Ebbasta · italian → English

What "Lontano" means

A confessional about the cost of fame. The narrator says nobody understands who he really is, that anger can blind him, and that he has gone quiet and numbed himself while others told him to think and talk more. He keeps wanting to escape the success that has pulled him away from people he loved, and compares his distance to his absent father. He recalls a rough childhood and ends on the idea that you only value things once they are gone.

Tu non sai quante volte ho pensato
You have no idea how many times I've thought
"Nessuno capirà il vero me"
Nobody will ever understand the real me
Quando la rabbia mi fa vedere buio
When my anger makes everything go completely dark
Potrei perdere tutto, giuro che lo farei
I could lose everything, I swear I would do it
