Tu ed io Lyrics – Tony Boy

Tu ed io Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Tony Boy]
Still vibing, still stylish.

[Ritornello: Tony Boy]
He’s saying that he and the other person have both made mistakes, and they’re alike in that way. They’ve faced things together. He tried staying away from money, but it seemed like fate brought it his way, maybe as a reward or just because life is messed up. He ran from his problems, but they came back even worse. He worked harder than ever but still feels trapped, like there’s no escape or even distractions. There’s no one left to compete with—he’s turned into his own worst enemy, battling himself.

[Strofa 1: Tony Boy]
He says a real demon stays calm, hinting at his inner darkness. Being with this person makes even winter feel warm. His eyes get red—maybe from emotions or substances—when he looks at them. If someone touches him the wrong way, they’ll feel his pain. He’s been spending money, feeling “blessed” in the moment, mixing drinks and pills. He reflects on people he’s cut off after certain actions. Whatever they had is now lost, and there’s no going back.

[Ritornello: Tony Boy, Tony Boy & thasup]
Again, he talks about how both of them have flaws and made wrong choices, but they’ve done it side by side. He tried not to care about money, but it kept pulling him in, maybe because the world is unfair. He ran from his issues like a fugitive, but they came back three times worse. He’s put in three times the effort and still feels stuck. His life path is narrow, leaving him without distractions or anyone else to blame. He’s now fighting with himself, using his own mind as a target.

[Strofa 2: thasup]
He tells her that he held her close and promised things would be different, but you can’t really escape all the pain in the world. He doesn’t fully believe the anxiety he sees reflected in her, even though it’s clearly affecting her mood. Panic has taken over him too, almost making his soul feel like it’s in shock. He compares fake hope to taking dangerous risks, like drinking acid. He’s never been greedy, just confused about how his friend Davide is doing. When he didn’t understand him, it was because pain can make people seem weaker. He wishes he had more chances to explain or do things differently. Wearing diamonds might look cool, but to him it feels like showing off his sadness. He says he’s finally ended the inner war that was weighing him down. He hated it so much that he started forgetting what peace or happiness (represented by “blue”) even felt like.

[Ritornello: Tony Boy, Tony Boy & thasup]
Once again, he reflects on how both of them mess up but share that struggle. He didn’t want to chase money, but maybe it was meant to be or just another outcome of a broken world. Escaping problems didn’t work—things just came back harder. He’s worked a lot more, but it didn’t solve anything. His life feels narrow and joyless, and now instead of blaming others, he takes it all out on himself.

[Outro: Tony Boy]
He tried to stay away from her, but it felt like fate brought them together. He’s dealing with anxiety deep inside and doubts in his mind, so he decides to reach out. He let her move forward while he stayed behind—it felt like the right thing. Even though he technically “won,” he still feels defeated.
