Tu ed io (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Tony Boy]
Still vibing with style and confidence.

[Chorus: Tony Boy]
He’s saying that he and the person he’s singing to are very alike—they both mess up sometimes, but they stick together through it. Even though he tried to stay away from chasing money, it felt like it was meant to be, or maybe just part of surviving in a rough world. He ran from his problems, hoping to escape, but they always came back harder, and he had to push himself even more to deal with them. His life has become a tough path with no easy way out, and now there’s no one left to fight but himself. He’s his own biggest challenge, like he’s set himself up as the target.

[Verse 1: Tony Boy]
He’s showing that even people who seem tough or “demonic” stay calm and collected. When he’s with this person, even cold times feel warm. His red eyes might show pain or emotional strain when he looks at them. He warns that he’s been through so much, touching him emotionally is like touching fire. He buys things to feel good or blessed, but mixes drinking and pills, hinting at unhealthy habits. He reflects on people he’s distanced himself from, and how something has been lost between them now.

[Chorus: Tony Boy, Tony Boy & thasup]
Again, he repeats how similar he and the other person are, and how they’ve both made mistakes. There’s a kind of comfort in that shared struggle. He wanted to avoid the pursuit of money, but it ended up being something he couldn’t escape, either as part of his fate or just as a way to survive in a messed-up world. His problems kept chasing him down no matter how far he tried to run, so he had to work way harder to handle everything. His life feels stuck on a tight, risky path without any detours or breaks. Now, he’s not even fighting the world anymore—he’s facing himself.

[Verse 2: thasup]
He’s trying to reassure someone, telling them to calm down and believe things can be better. But at the same time, he knows that the world is full of negativity that’s hard to avoid. He talks about anxiety showing up in someone’s expression and how it dulls them emotionally. Panic attacks hit him hard, almost shaking him to his core. He compares false hope to taking acid—something that might feel real but ends up damaging. He mentions Davide, possibly someone he misses or is concerned about. In darkness, people’s weaknesses show more clearly, and he regrets not understanding things sooner. Sometimes he wishes life gave him more chances or clarity—it would’ve made everything easier. Wearing diamonds feels like wearing hidden pain, not just luxury. In his mind, he’s finally stopped the internal fight that held him down, but even then, he struggles with forgetting the sadness that colored everything blue for him.

[Chorus: Tony Boy, Tony Boy & thasup]
Just like before, he’s pointing out how he and this other person are reflections of each other—flawed, but still trying. They both keep messing up but keep moving through it side by side. He thought he could stay away from the chase for money, but it caught up with him. Life is still rough, full of problems that never really go away. Even when he tries to escape, the issues return even stronger, and he has to put in three times the effort. The road he’s on is narrow and difficult, and now, instead of any external enemy, he sees himself as his only opponent.

[Outro: Tony Boy]
He tried to keep his distance from this person, but something deeper kept pulling them together—it felt like fate. He’s full of nervous energy and doubt, writing to express himself. He let them take the lead, maybe out of love or instinct. But even though it might look like he came out on top, deep down, he still feels like he lost.
