Bright morning light filters through the blinds and Izi suddenly feels that the world, for once, might be beautiful. "Chic" is a stream-of-consciousness journey where the Italian rapper contrasts fragile hope with gritty memories: sleeping in train stations, calling friends for a half-burned mattress, drowning his fears in the sea, and dreaming of polished dinners on streets turned into banquet tables. The song’s imagery flips constantly—dry leaves crunching underfoot, diabetes called a monster, paper mountains of unfinished lyrics—mirroring the way his mind spins between optimism and anxiety.
In the hook he jokes about wearing the elegant clothes of “chic” men only in his dreams, while in real life he sports worn-in jeans and carries his resilience like an invisible badge. No one hands him strength, so he forges it alone, taking just enough love from a partner who truly understands him. «Se qualcuno mi da la forza, fra’ mi rafforzo così» becomes a mantra of self-reliance: life is messy, but he will keep moving, keep writing, and keep finding beauty, even if it flickers for only a second.
