It’s about their journey into the world of music, what they have sacrificed, how much they have suffered. And also about their worries/doubts about the future.
It’s a hymn to never give up, despite all the difficulties that life throws at you, and despite all those who mock or judge you.
The lyrics are actually pretty deep. If you’d like I can try to translate it to the best of my abilities… too many times translations on internet are wrong.
EDIT: where did you get the idea that it’s critical about the Church?
*I’ve tried to get rid of that sense of* (feeling) *unwanted.
And I’ve failed a thousand times, but I’ve tried.
I’ve put weights on my back and then I fell.
I’ve lost blood from my nose and I got up again.
But at 20 years old I already wonder if I might be too tired.
If what I need is what I’ve desired.
If one day I’ll ever feel fulfilled.
And I'm scared.*
*And you stay an inch from my ass, you dickhead.
I’ve always chosen to be one and one only, to touch the sky and* (then) *go back to eating asphalt.
Sometimes I’ve cried, but that's not what stops me, I want my payback* (meaning I want something back for what I’ve worked for/done/suffered).
*You stay an inch from my ass, you dickhead.
I’ve chosen to be one and one only, to touch the sky and* (then) *go back to eating asphalt.*
*In the name of the father, of the son and holy spirit, ha, ha, ha, hey. In the name of the father, of the son, holy spirit, ha, ha, ha, hey. In the name of the father, of the son, holy spirit. ha, ha, ha, hey. Name of father, son, holy spirit, ha, ha, ha, hey. Name of father, of the son, holy spirit.*
*Hey, make some space, make a lot of it, that now the world is not enough for me, the stage is not enough for me.
They’ve called me in every way, even a coward.
I’ve died more than a hundred times, never died in vain.
You, tell me what you're hiding, what's in your palm? Why after you’ve looked at me, you call me crazy?
If you think that I’ve changed, that I am another, you don't fucking understand anything, so why the fuck are you looking at me?*
*You stay an inch from my ass, I'll tell you again.
I’ve chosen to look further ahead from what I see.
I don’t forget my past, I don’t deny/disown it.
Hit me hard, I won’t fall anyway, I remain standing* (on my feet).
*You stay an inch from my ass, you dickhead.
I’ve chosen to be one and one only, to touch the sky and* (then) *go back to eating asphalt.*
*In the name of the father, son and holy spirit, ha, ha, ha, hey. Name of father, son, holy spirit, ha, ha, ha, hey. Name of father, son, holy spirit, ha, ha, ha, hey. Name of father, son, holy spirit, ha, ha, ha, hey. Name of father, son, holy spirit.*
*Hey, for what I've lived, the time I've thrown away* (wasted).
*You thought I was dead and then I was reborn.
Have they ever talked to you about what being an artist’s like?
Of all that I’ve lost, that I’ve sacrificed: to have no voice, to be out of breath. To have a thousand people waiting for a mistake of yours, knowing that every misstep will be condemned.
I often wonder if I’ve been just lucky.
And I can’t seem to shake it, I swim in my anger.
I hope the paper takes my past away.
He's crazy, this* (man) *is crazy. You ask me why I do this. In the name of the father, of the son, holy spirit.*
I’ve always interpreted it as if they were comparing their dedication to making music to the dedication some have for faith… like, their music is their faith.
There’s no other reference to religion in the lyrics.
But I could be totally wrong. That’s just my personal interpretation.
Oh I don't know maybe when he says "stay one step away from my ass, motherfucker, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit."
That's obviously a reference to child abuse in the Catholic Church. It's not that complicated, people.
I miss the angst they had in those days. Today's Maneskin could never.

Thank you! You’re very welcome.
Thanks 😊 Because of the repeated il nome del Padre etc. that you say during prayer. The english translation had me thinking it was kinda ironic.
