Cemento attorno Lyrics – Tony Boy

Cemento attorno Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro feels like a quick warm-up or call-out before starting. It sets a moody vibe, hinting that growth is happening even with tough surroundings.

[Ritornello]
This part talks about how, even when life feels cold and hard like concrete, you still keep growing. Even with emotional pain and struggles inside, you manage to keep going. Someone stays by your side even when you try to push them away. There’s a lot of drinking, but deep down, thoughts and feelings still show up. The connection with this person feels real, even if they don’t know everything about you. The room’s heat turns the hotel into something that feels like hell, symbolizing intense emotions. Despite all the changes around you, this one person remains the same, steady and present.

[Strofa]
Here, he admits that he’s stuck in his own rules and struggles, even if everything outside looks fine. He feels like he has to prove something, maybe to people who weren’t really there for him. He calls out fake friends who say they’re close but weren’t really present. He knows someone deeply, especially their sensitive sides, but he’s become numb because of the tough environment he comes from. He doesn’t talk much and keeps his guard up, even treating friends of others like bugs—untrustworthy. There’s a sense that betrayal could come anytime. Now, with a close group of friends, he doesn’t care about criticism anymore. He’s living fast, hanging out at clubs, and sitting on benches with more memories than ever. But with heavier drug or alcohol use, he’s also losing memories just as fast as he’s making them.

[Pre-Ritornello]
Even with all the hard stuff around you, you keep pushing forward. Life may be rough, but you still rise. And that person—despite what you say—keeps staying with you.

[Ritornello]
Once again, it circles back to the idea that you can grow even when surrounded by something cold and lifeless like concrete. You push through the pain and keep showing up. Even when you push people away, someone refuses to leave. They’re still thinking, feeling, even through the haze of alcohol. They don’t know everything about you, but there’s still a real connection when you look at each other. The heat in the hotel symbolizes how tense and overwhelming things have become. Still, even with all the chaos, that person stays the same.
