Vipere literally translates to "vipers" or "snakes". It's a striking and less common word to find in song lyrics, making it memorable.
In the context of the song, Capo Plaza uses "vipere" metaphorically to refer to treacherous or deceitful people who wish him ill. He declares, "fanculo queste vipere" (fuck these vipers), expressing his defiance against those who try to bring him down. This strong imagery adds a layer of intensity to his message of resilience.
In "Ferite," which means "Wounds" in Italian, Capo Plaza paints a picture of a life where success and pain are deeply intertwined. He describes his journey from a difficult past, where his only options were "stay on the street or do this," to a present filled with wealth, symbolized by big cars and millions of euros. However, this success doesn't heal old wounds. He feels surrounded by people waiting for him to fail, calling them "vipers" and warning himself to never let his guard down.
Despite his achievements, Capo Plaza feels isolated and mistrustful. He sings, "More money but fewer friends," and admits he has very few "friendly hands" to count on. The song's title is a recurring theme: these are the invisible "wounds that don't go away," the emotional scars from his past and the betrayals he's faced. The only moment of peace seems to be with a special person, a night he wishes would never end, offering a brief escape from a world he sees as sad and corrupt.
