God forgive me
Cover me from flying squads, from helicopters
From investigations, from tear gas
God remember
Protect us, protect me
Protected from bullets, without anti-bullet
Here the best fall, think again, mother think of me
When I too am there in heaven, yes
Rebellious youth, dying on their feet, short falls
Stones fall, petals fall, chains on the feet
'These lives on this paper, respect me
Lost boys, broken boys
I tried so hard, you don't know how long, to say to myself: 'Think about it'
Until this state brought mine to their knees
Humble people, tired of being dominated by them, paying mortgages
They who have always paid, silent
Unjust destinies, fed up kids, young people in front of judges
God you are near me
Protect these people, yes
Remember these names here
Save us a place there with you
God you are near me
Protect these people, yes
Remember these names here
Save us a place there with you
Studio apartment, agglomerations, monochrome
In six square metres, gold and chrome watches
Far from the beautiful embroidery, far from the beautiful venues
How many killed by others, how many with their own hands, yes
Born in the same buildings, graves on the same street
Same bullshit for years, someone hasn't gotten up
Houses occupied, evicted, reoccupied
Boy runs away on cue, drugs in house, assigned homes
No, no, you don't know what I'm talking about
From this area to Trionfale, from Milan to Zen
From Prati to the popular ones
I write this piece for those who have lost, for those who are afraid
Let him know that he's not the only one and feel less down that way
God you are near me
Protect these people, yes
Remember these names here
Save us a place there with you
God you are near me
Protect these people, yes
Remember these names here
Save us a place there with you
You know, I feel like it's Sunday
Cold, septic, deserted city
Here being alone is soothing
'What does this life give us?
He wants us on the ground to applaud us filmed by a Steadicam
We are attractions, like a circus
The State bets on how many leave and how many persist
Dreams, doors, dogs, owners
Prisons, money, illusions
People like fucking attractions
And then grow up, brother
Guys lost here
They leave a piece of them on these texts here
Losing yourself is like turning on the gas
Boys lost to pieces in plexiglass houses
God you are near me
Protect these people, yes
Remember these names here
Save us a place there with you
God you are near me
Protect these people, yes
Remember these names here
Save us a place there with you

succubisuccubi / subservient

Succubi literally refers to a female demon, but in this context, it's used metaphorically to describe people who are subservient or exploited.

Achille Lauro uses this word to highlight the plight of humble people who are

In "Dio Ricordati," which translates to "God, Remember," Achille Lauro delivers a raw and powerful prayer. He speaks directly to God, not just for himself, but for a whole community of "giovani ribelli" (young rebels) and "ragazzi persi" (lost boys). The song is a plea for protection from a world filled with police helicopters, tear gas, and bullets, a world where people feel vulnerable without "anti-proiettili" (bulletproof vests).

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a tough life in urban Italy, from Milan to neighborhoods in Rome and Palermo. Lauro describes people living in cramped spaces, facing unjust destinies, and feeling brought to their knees by the state. He writes for those who have lost and those who are afraid, hoping his words make them feel less alone. The song is a memorial, asking God to remember the names of those who are struggling and to save a place for them in heaven.
