Martelli Lyrics in English Gazzelle

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Martelli by Gazzelle from Italian to English.
I've lost everything
All at once
I emptied my pockets
There was Caterina
Looking at me
From head to toe
With last year's face
How boring it was
The spring
But before her there was nothing
And now I burn
Like a candle
And I've got a lousy, lousy complexion
You are how you are
But you're not how I'd like
She and I were better looking
What I give you
Isn't what I should
But what d'you want?
Days feel like hammers
Today I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
Today I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
I'm not the type
To just be like
Lying down figuring out why
To stay on my feet
Among a thousand feet
In the same suit
I just wanna feel good
I just wanna feel good
Get my color back
Get my color back
I just wanna feel good
I just wanna feel good
Get my color back
Get my color back
You are how you are
But you're not how I'd like
She and I were better looking
What I give you
Isn't what I should
But what d'you want?
Days feel like hammers
Today I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
Today I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
Today I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
Today I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
I just wanna feel good
I just wanna feel good
Get my color back
Get my color back
I just wanna feel good
I just wanna feel good
Get my color back
Get my color back
Today I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
Today I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
I'll shoot myself in the head
You are how you are
But you're not how I'd like
She and I
Were better looking
What I give you
Isn't what I should
But what d'you want?
Days feel like hammers

SONG MEANING

Martelli feels like an emotional roller coaster viewed through a cracked kaleidoscope. Gazzelle paints the moment right after losing love and direction: pockets emptied, memories of Caterina still staring him up and down, and a spring so dull it almost hurts. Each new day “sembra un martello” – it slams down like a hammer on his aching head – and the dramatic refrain “oggi mi sparo in testa” is less about literal self-harm, more a raw shout of frustration, confusion, and exhaustion.

Yet underneath the grey clouds, the singer keeps repeating a simple wish: "Voglio solo stare bene, ritrovare il mio colore" – “I just want to feel good, to find my colour again.” The track swings between darkness and light, mapping the messy path from heart-break to healing. It reminds us that even when life pounds away like heavy tools in a workshop, the stubborn hope for brightness still flickers and pushes us forward.
