If I could freeze time like a photograph

I'd take this moment

I'd make a huge blow-up of it

Then throw myself inside and enjoy it meanwhile

I often get sick from joy

But when I grasp the symptoms

The fever's already gone

Sometimes I'd like to touch the hours

I'd like to but I can't

Days when I think about death

While life slides off me

Under the lights of these spotlights

You can't see my darkest side

A face kissed by the sun, with a heart below zero

Like mercury

Don't you feel how cold it is

I've left a part of me behind

But where's the sun? it's right here next to me

But where's the sun? the sun's right here next to me

Next to me

I'll stay in the dark even if

They'll never know everything about me

But where's the sun? it's right here next to me

But where's the sun? the sun's right here next to me

Next to me

Years that feel like days

Days that feel like years

From here the stars don't look huge

Small things seem big to us

Faces etched, with hearts of iron

Rusted by dirty tears

Endless loves recall a day of light

But the sun doesn't rise twice

Amid absurd circumstances

Staying close to me is hard

Somebody's tried everything

But my life's an unlivable planet

I try to keep my feet on the ground

Despite the weak gravity

But when I kiss you I run out of oxygen

And I escape to another galaxy

Don't you feel how cold it is

I've left a part of me behind

But where's the sun? it's right here next to me

But where's the sun? the sun's right here next to me

Next to me

I'll stay in the dark even if

They'll never know everything about me

But where's the sun? it's right here next to me

But where's the sun? the sun's right here next to me

Next to me

Hanging in the air, from below they point a finger at me

After all, who are we? dots in the middle of infinity

Looking for the right balance, me included

I'm seeking space 'cause the world stole mine

Spoon-fed with words by the devil

I talk with a god's eloquence

Craters in my eyes

Filled by exchanges of glances

I don't cry if a star dies

However lovely it may be, I know there's billions

Among giants, I'll never be just one of many

I swear, I don't want inhabitants in my head

Only silence, like mercury

Don't you feel how cold it is

I've left a part of me behind

But where's the sun? it's right here next to me

But where's the sun? the sun's right here next to me

Next to me

I'll stay in the dark even if

They'll never know everything about me

But where's the sun? it's right here next to me

But where's the sun? the sun's right here next to me

Next to me

Mercurio catapults us into Emis Killa’s personal cosmos, where glittering stage lights meet the icy chill of self-doubt. He wishes he could freeze a single, perfect snapshot of happiness, yet the euphoria always melts away before he can truly enjoy it. Amid roaring crowds and camera flashes, he feels “cold like mercury,” a quick-silver metal that looks bright but stays freezing. The song juggles opposites: fame versus solitude, sunlight versus shadow, the rush of living versus the fear of time sliding past.

Killa stretches these contrasts across a whole galaxy. He pictures life as an unlivable planet with weak gravity, love as a breath-stealing leap into another galaxy, and humanity as tiny dots scattered through infinity. The sun — symbol of warmth, success, and hope — is “right beside” him, yet he still chooses to remain partly in the dark, guarding hidden corners of his soul. Mercurio is ultimately an anthem of vulnerability behind stardom, a reminder that even the brightest stars can feel the cold and keep parts of themselves eclipsed from view.
