INTRO (La Bella Vita) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The artist starts by talking about how he would rather spend billions on living a good life instead of fueling war. He questions what others would do with such wealth. He sarcastically challenges expectations, implying that life isn’t as glamorous as some might think. There’s a hint of disillusionment, as if people assume success equals happiness, but reality is different.

[Strofa 1]
He expresses his desire to be rich and finally feel at peace, escaping a tough, uncertain life. His struggles are written on his face—hard work, sacrifice, and pain hidden behind a smile. He drinks cognac, possibly as a way to escape his past. He once felt innocent, but now he’s changed, even daring to challenge fate or divine forces. He talks about how he used to feel small and stuck in a corner, but now he owns that space. Growth comes with loss, and every goodbye has made him stronger. Reflecting on the past, he thinks about missed opportunities and the things that have shaped him. He speaks about a love interest, appreciating her beauty even though they rarely see each other. Meanwhile, outside, violence continues, symbolizing how Milan and his life are changing. Tattoos mark his journey, and now, with success, money rains down on those who stayed by his side.

[Ritornello]
The chorus highlights material success—tattoos, gambling, guns, fast cars, designer clothes, and luxury accessories. He enjoys a lavish lifestyle, lounging by the pool, mesmerized by someone’s eyes. The beautiful view from the hills represents both physical wealth and the dream of a perfect life.

[Strofa 2]
He recalls his tough past, growing up in a difficult environment where he longed for success. He didn’t want leftovers; he wanted to carve out his own space. Now, despite the wealth and hot summer days, there’s still boredom and dissatisfaction. His girlfriend is frustrated because she can’t tan, but she knows how lucky he is. He describes drinking warm beer in an environment that feels like a desert. With the blinds shut, even the nosy neighbor watches them. He waits for summer to pass, smoking and thinking, realizing things more clearly through the haze. He believes the universe has a bigger plan for him, so he just needs to be patient and keep working. His life feels like a movie, and he has learned to act through it, hiding his pain behind expensive sunglasses. Though he has gotten used to suffering, even with new shoes, walking through life still hurts.

[Ritornello]
Again, the chorus emphasizes his lifestyle of luxury and excess. He enjoys gambling, weapons, expensive cars, and designer items. By the pool, he gets lost in someone’s gaze, surrounded by wealth and breathtaking views in the hills, symbolizing the high life he once dreamed of.

[Outro]
He questions expectations—what people assume life and success should be. Did they take things for granted? Were they looking for something deeper? He wonders if building a grand life for everyone is really possible. Trying to change the world brings criticism—people will mock and call you a fool or a failure. He thought he was at the top, only to realize there were even higher levels. Looking back, he sees everything more clearly but remains the same person. Maybe there’s no real connection between his past and present, and no compromise that makes sense. He knows no one would want him the way he used to be. Overall, life is good, but he would still trade some things for real success.
