In "ALLUCINAZIONE COLLETTIVA," Italian artist Fedez takes us on a raw and emotional journey through the painful end of a very public relationship. The title itself, which translates to "Collective Hallucination," suggests that the intense life he shared with his partner felt unreal, like a shared dream that everyone was watching.
Fedez uses powerful and dark imagery to express his turmoil. He describes himself "vomiting ink" on an August night, a metaphor for pouring out his pain through his art. The lyrics paint a picture of a love story that has become a public spectacle, with their private struggles being traded like stocks ("I nostri cazzi messi in Piazza Affari"). He reflects on moments of deep personal crisis, even mentioning lawyers and suicide attempts, and wonders if things could have been different if they were different people: "If I had been another me / You another you, maybe it would be a whole other story."
