ZERI IN PIÙ (LOCURA) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Laura Pausini & Lazza]
In the intro, Lazza talks about a relationship or connection that’s a bit blurry now—he can’t remember who chased who or how they even met, but he believes it was destiny. It’s early in the morning, symbolizing new beginnings or perhaps new problems. Whether the person stays or leaves doesn’t seem to matter much anymore. Lazza finds some kind of light or energy in this person even when things are dark, but his feelings are inconsistent—sometimes he wants them, other times he doesn’t, and he finds that frustrating. He calls it all “locura,” which means madness, emphasizing how unpredictable and chaotic the situation feels. It’s about the messy emotions that come with intense connections, where everything feels like a wild ride with ups and downs.

[Strofa 1: Lazza]
In the first verse, Lazza paints a picture of a flashy lifestyle with supercars and high-stakes bets, comparing his confidence and tricks on beats to a Jedi’s mind tricks, suggesting he’s skilled and in control. He feels like destiny is marked on his forehead, referencing Gemitaiz, another rapper known for deep and personal lyrics. Lazza criticizes those who put on tough personas online, calling them jokes once their masks are off. He hopes that the trends he sees as superficial will pass. He uses a metaphor, comparing himself with others like matching the Darsena (a harbor in Milan) with Arsenal (the football club)—it just doesn’t fit. He also feels surrounded by fakeness, like the staged drama of wrestling in SmackDown. He mentions the chaos of his lifestyle, filled with parties, and sees some people as mere followers without originality, like mice at a deadmau5 concert. Lazza shows disdain for other artists’ work, describing it as a burden and unoriginal, while throwing in a jab at a Balenciaga controversy to highlight how careless some are about real issues.

[Ritornello: Lazza]
In the chorus, Lazza asks the listener to look at him now, hinting at his success and the chaotic path that got him there. He acknowledges that his lifestyle, filled with increasing wealth (“zeri in più”), brings more problems, referring to it all as his “locura,” or madness. He feels that time is flying by, like the hands on his Daytona watch, but all the money and fame don’t really solve his deeper issues.

[Strofa 2: Lazza]
In the second verse, Lazza addresses those who underestimated him, questioning why they still try to connect if they thought he was done. He admits to being comfortable making mistakes and never feeling regret. He reflects on reading praise like “album of the year” online, but he’s not afraid to say that some of these praises might be lies. Lazza describes his rise before major shows, highlighting his success with references to famous venues and the need to hang his platinum record, showing he’s reached a new level of fame. He distances himself from other rappers, who he sees as anxious and unsteady, unlike him. Lazza recalls when he was just starting out with few fans, contrasting that with the “young marmots”—new rappers who lack originality. He criticizes the industry where everyone is trying to be the first or best, yet they all blend into mediocrity, like copies of his own successful album. He scoffs at so-called geniuses who don’t actually impress him, and takes a jab at those who flaunt cash for social media but lack substance. Lazza ends by noting that some people are stuck in the same patterns, withdrawing cash for show, suggesting they’re more about appearances than real progress.

[Ritornello: Lazza]
Again, Lazza reflects on his chaotic life, acknowledging that while he’s gained fame and fortune, it hasn’t brought him peace or resolution. His life is a series of “locura” moments—wild and unpredictable—highlighting how time flies and issues remain despite all the success.

[Outro: Laura Pausini]
In the outro, Laura Pausini sums up the idea of “locura” as something that makes you go crazy and messes with you, almost like it’s playing tricks on you. It’s intense and overwhelming but fades away with time, suggesting that even the wildest moments eventually pass.
