Generazione X Lyrics (English Translation) – Tony Boy

Generazione X (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
He’s talking like he’s been running on empty, physically and emotionally wiped out, and he’s asking if that’s what the other person wanted all along. He’s holding everything heavy and dark inside, like he’s stuffed it into a bag he never opens. Everything feels suffocating because the person he cares about isn’t there with him, so he’s comparing it to an emergency where he’s about to call for help. He’s quiet by nature, but people judge him — saying he smokes too much — like that explains what he’s carrying. He really feels like the world is pressing down on him, and nothing around him stays the same. He admits he doesn’t always play by the rules, especially when life gets strict and cold, but he tries to stay calm. He feels forgotten when she disappears for days or months and then suddenly appears with people he considers opposition. Seeing that hurts him deep inside. When he mentions his generation, he’s reflecting on feeling lost behind dr�gs and confusion, with eyes open to the rough streets but still searching for someone who used to matter and now seems forgotten.

[Chorus]
He’s talking about the group he comes from as if it’s shaped by escaping through alcohol and lean, mixing everything together just to cope. The future feels like it’s squeezing them all tight, almost too much to handle, so he’s urging that something needs to give and they can’t just wait around anymore.

[Post-Chorus]
This part is like a chant he keeps saying to himself and others, repeating that they can’t stay stuck. It’s a push to move, to do something now rather than keep standing still in all this pressure.

[Verse 2]
Here he returns to that sense of being from the same lost group, and he’s with a girl who shows him new ways to feel alive or numb. He’s saying that without the person he lost, he’s surrounded by empty faces, just people who fit into that same lost category. He’s left memories in photos, but they don’t comfort him anymore. Another night, another trip, he’s smoking and thinking too much about whether she supports those he doesn’t trust. Sometimes his brain tells him to walk away, but he stays anyway. If she raises her voice, he drowns it out with loud music and more smoking, trying to erase that pressure. He admits she surprised him, going beyond what he first thought, and among all the people around him, he somehow still finds her.

[Chorus]
He once again describes his generation as stuck in mixes of alcohol and lean to get through, feeling like the future waiting for them is shrinking their space. He’s stressing that they can’t just let life tighten around them — they need to take action now.

[Outro]
In this last part, he keeps repeating that they must move, like a mantra or alarm. It’s not just once but over and over, like he’s trying to wake himself and everyone else up. Those repeated lines feel almost like music in themselves, pushing urgency into the air, then adding sounds like “eh” and “oh” that make it feel emotional and alive rather than calm. He’s not just stating it — he’s feeling it, as if shouting into the void to get anyone listening to respond.
