Mischiare Le Carte Lyrics in English by Tony Boy
Tony Boy's "Mischiare Le Carte" (Shuffling the Cards) feels like a raw, unfiltered peek into his mind. He talks about taking a lot from life, but when he's with a certain person, he's "su Marte" (on Mars), completely out of this world. He admits to making mistakes by oversharing in the past, so now he's keeping to himself, "in disparte" (aside).
There's a sense of needing to overcome challenges, like defeating a dragon, to take this person to a different place. He tells them, "Devi essere un po' meno severo con te" (You need to be a little less hard on yourself). He finds a rebellious feeling when they're together, closing himself off from the world, and he warns them about playing with fire. Tony Boy also touches on his past, recalling smoking weed in middle school and his aggressive side. He feels like he's in a different league than others, and his songs are meant for his brothers when he's gone. It's a mix of introspection, ambition, and a bit of a rebellious spirit.
