BOTTEGA VENETA (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
Here, the artist kicks things off with a flirty and confident tone. He’s talking to a girl he already kind of knows but still greets her like it’s a new vibe. He throws in some advice about not mixing drinks, while painting this image of her showing up in s*xy lingerie under a luxurious chinchilla coat—it’s flashy and seductive. He’s mentally all over the place, not feeling the usual excitement unless substances are involved, which shows he’s dealing with some emotional numbness. Then he imagines her as his dream girl, like his own Beyonce, and pictures them escaping to a tropical place like the Caicos Islands, trying to sell her this fantasy. He admits he’s just like other guys in some ways—s*x-driven—but also makes it clear she stands out from the rest. Even though he’s known plenty of attractive women, he feels something different with her. He asks her to open up emotionally before the moment passes. At the same time, he flashes his wealth—mentioning a super expensive chain—and describes how drawn he is to her s*xually. He can tell she’s into it too, just by the way she looks at him. It’s sensual, emotional, and chaotic all at once.

[Chorus]
In this part, he talks about speeding through life with no breaks—full throttle, like his foot’s on the gas. The mention of Bottega Veneta, a luxury brand, sets the tone of high fashion and wealth. The girl he’s with isn’t chasing love—she wants the lifestyle: the heels, the flashy jewelry, the material shine. But underneath all that, she’s hurting. People around her judge her, and it affects her. She’s also dealing with emotional pain, numbing herself with alcohol and pills. Despite everything, they both roam the city at night, living fast and wild, possibly trying to escape their own emptiness. There’s a strong contrast here between the glamorous surface and the pain hidden underneath it. The repeated lines show how this lifestyle has become a cycle—they’re stuck in it, night after night, trying to feel something through all the chaos and glam.

[Verse 2]
This verse starts with a very raw and unfiltered tone. He’s being direct, maybe even brutally honest, saying he wants total openness, just like how revealing her dress is. He confesses he’s been thinking about her nonstop, even though he plays it cool and distant—something that actually makes him more attractive to the women around him. He touches her with confidence, knowing she enjoys it, and throws in a line about her friends doing coke, hinting at the party lifestyle they all live. The repetition of “Actavis” (a code for lean) shows how common it’s become in their world, while also expressing frustration that she seems to forget what he’s done or given up for her. He compares himself to Rick James, using wild partying as a way to cope with pain. Then he shouts out his loyal fans and crew, showing he hasn’t forgotten the people who support him. He brags about how he’s been stylish and armed for years—hinting at past struggles and a need for protection. He then tells her to slow down, probably trying to bring some calm into the madness. She’s staring at his diamonds, curious if they’re real, while still giving herself to him even if she has responsibilities the next morning. It ends with a flashy image of him in a luxury car wearing high-end fashion, staying true to the theme of excess.

[Chorus]
This chorus repeats the same intense, fast-paced energy from before. He’s still living life on the edge—speeding through it with luxury and confidence. The girl with him still doesn’t want anything deep, just the status symbols like heels and jewelry. Even though she seems tough and materialistic, deep down, she’s struggling. People’s opinions hurt her, and she uses alcohol and pills to numb the emotional pain. They continue prowling the city at night, acting like they run it, but there’s a sense of emptiness behind the glamour. The cycle keeps repeating—luxury, hurt, nightlife, and numbness. It’s flashy on the outside, but there’s an emotional heaviness that lingers in the background of it all.
