Verse 1
I'm twenty years old
So don't be surprised if from nothing I make drama
Or: So don't be surprised if I make a fuss (overreact) out of nothing
I'm afraid of leaving only money to the world
That my name disappears among all the others
But I'm only twenty years old
And I already ask forgiveness for the mistakes that I've made
But the road is harder when you're aiming for the sky
So choose the things that are truly important
Choose love or diamonds, demons or saints
Prechorus 1
And you'll be ready to fight, or you'll walk away
And you'll blame others or the blame will be yours
You will run straight towards the sun or towards the dark
You'll be ready to fight, to always seek freedom
Chorus 1
And go one step forward, always be true
Explain what is color to those who see black and white
And go one step forward, always be true
And promise tomorrow to everyone you'll talk about me
And although I'm only twenty years old, I'll have to run
Verse 2
I'm twenty years old
And I don't give a damn, I've nothing to prove to you
I'm not like you who gives the soul to money
Or: I'm not like you, giving your soul for money
From the eyes of the pure you're only cowards
Or: In the eyes of those who are pure, you're just cowards
Chorus 2
And go one step forward, always be true
Explain what is color to those who see black and white
And go one step forward, always be true
And promise tomorrow to everyone you'll talk about me
And although I'm only twenty years old, I'll have to run
Postchorus 2
And you'll be ready to fight, or you'll walk away
And you'll blame others or the blame will be yours
You will run straight towards the sun or towards the dark
You'll be ready to fight, to always seek freedom
Outro
You're twenty years old
I'm writing to you now before it's too late
And the doubt of being nobody will hurt
You'll be someone if you stay different from others
But you're only twenty years old

SONG MEANING

“VENT'ANNI” captures the electric whirlwind of being twenty: that age when every feeling is cranked up to maximum volume. Måneskin’s singer admits he can turn small things into high-stakes drama, terrified that his name might dissolve into the crowd and leave nothing behind but cash. Over roaring guitars, he lists the crossroads young adults face—love or diamonds, demons or saints—and the constant fear of chasing the sky while stumbling on rough ground.

The song is both a confession and a pep-talk. It warns that you can either blame the world or own your choices, sprint toward sunlight or slip into darkness. Yet its main message is fiercely optimistic: keep moving a step ahead, speak in color to those who see in black-and-white, and stay unmistakably you. With its raw rock energy and Italian flair, “VENT'ANNI” becomes an anthem for anyone standing at the gateway of adulthood, determined to fight for freedom, authenticity, and a legacy that outshines mere money.
