Bacio di Giuda Lyrics – Shiva | Vangelo

Meaning of Bacio di Giuda Lyrics

Intro: Shiva Meaning:
Shiva opens with a repeated push forward, like he’s trying to escape something or build momentum. It feels restless, almost like he’s forcing himself to keep moving despite everything weighing on him.

Ritornello: Tiziano Ferro Meaning:
Here, Tiziano Ferro expresses deep pain around betrayal. He talks about valuing loyalty so much that betrayal feels worse than anything else. There’s frustration because the other person can’t accept that things are over, even though it’s clear they’ve already emotionally given up. The “kiss of Judas” symbolizes a fake act of love hiding betrayal, and the apology feels empty, like it’s directed more at guilt than real regret.

Strofa 1: Shiva Meaning:
Shiva reflects on his past mistakes, admitting that some of them are so tied to who he is that he might repeat them. There’s a sense of complicated love, where someone kept fixing his flaws, but things still fell apart. He compares his life to being on a crashing plane, showing how everything feels out of control even when it looks like success from the outside. The betrayal he experienced feels cold and emotionless, leaving both people exposed.

He also talks about how he’s changed, but doesn’t really know how to apologize or deal with emotions properly, turning instead to distractions. His past environment was dangerous, and he tried to escape it, but those struggles still follow him. He feels stabbed in the back, both literally and emotionally, especially by someone who seemed close, which adds to the sense of confusion and hurt.

Ritornello: Tiziano Ferro Meaning:
The chorus returns to the same emotional core: loyalty versus betrayal. The pain hasn’t changed, and neither has the feeling that the other person is pretending everything can still be fixed. The repeated image of the “kiss of Judas” keeps emphasizing how deeply that betrayal cuts.

Strofa 2: Shiva Meaning:
Shiva compares himself to someone who struggles to stay afloat, unlike a figure who performs miracles. This shows how he feels overwhelmed by life and his circumstances. Coming from a tough background has left marks on him, both physically and emotionally, and now he counts his wounds like a soldier returning from war.

Trust is a major issue here. He directly blames the other person for his inability to open up or feel safe with others. Repeated betrayals have made him guarded, and he admits he’s also done wrong in the past, lying and hurting others, which might be coming back to him as karma. Still, he doesn’t fully regret it, showing inner conflict.

Even though he now has material success, he feels small inside. The emotional damage runs deep—he’s drained, unable to cry anymore, losing interest in basic things, and turning to unhealthy habits. What hurts the most is that the betrayal came from someone he considered a friend, making it feel more personal and harder to move on from.

Ritornello: Tiziano Ferro, Tiziano Ferro & Shiva Meaning:
The final chorus reinforces everything: the pain, the broken trust, and the inability to fix what’s already destroyed. The repeated lines make it feel like the emotions are stuck in a loop, showing how hard it is to let go when betrayal cuts this deep.
