Niente Lyrics in English Ultimo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Niente by Ultimo from Italian to English.
It's that for a while I don't know where to go
I try to scream but I have no voice left
You say let's start over
But I have no more words to offer you
Yes, it's true you enchant me even if you don't speak to me
But the sun is out and I don't see it around here anymore
Yes, I had said it would be forever
It's sad but
When you hug me, I don't feel anything anymore
When I sit on top of the world
I realize I'm the same
Who takes refuge at the bottom
Of this stupid and fragile dishonest glass of mine
That I drink to swallow
The part of me that is unseen
You always talk about everything
But you never have a reason
I, who stay silent and endure
Think of a better future
Of course, what do you think
That I am happy now?
Don't you see I use the smile to mask the wounds
I am the same
Who always talks about himself
But I do it so you don't see
The real part of me
So look at me closely now
The curtain is falling
You know if people opened up
The theater wouldn't exist
Maybe I have to lie
Show what I am not
I wish I could love
Yet I don't get excited
Because dreaming has made me a cloud with feet
That's why we are close but with different thoughts, yes
It's that for a while I don't know where to go
I try to scream but I have no voice left
You say, 'Come on, we can start over'
But I have no more words to offer you
Yes, it's true you enchant me even if you don't speak to me
But the sun is out and I don't see it around here anymore
Yes, I had said it would be forever
It's sad but
When you hug me, I don't feel anything anymore
When you hug me, I don't feel anything anymore
You see I can't do it
I don't feel the same emotion as before
I feel like I'm talking but my body is different
And I see people waiting in line
They're all out there waiting
They shout the name I chose years ago
But mine is not a stage name
It's the name reality chose for me that day
I who lived life
All of mine inside a parking lot
I spent hours talking
With dreams inside myself
Now I look in the mirror
I see the same person
Then I go out of the house
And something in me doesn't work
The anger I had lives all in this song of mine
Life is a carousel ride that reverses direction
Then the world is a wrong place
With the right intentions
But I am the one I loved
I am my songs, yes
It's that for a while I don't know where to go
I try to scream but I have no voice left
You say, 'Come on, we can start over'
But I have no more words to offer you
Yes, it's true you enchant me even if you don't speak to me
But the sun is out and I don't see it around here anymore
Yes, I had said it would be forever
It's sad but
When you hug me, I don't feel anything anymore
When you hug me, I don't feel anything anymore
It's sad but
When you hug me, I don't feel anything anymore

SONG MEANING

Imagine reaching the roof of the world, only to discover that the view no longer moves you. In “Niente,” Ultimo turns that unsettling feeling into music, confessing that success, love and even his own voice seem to have slipped through his fingers. The Italian singer paints a vivid picture of someone who is stuck in neutral: he tries to scream but has no voice, he sips from a “dishonest glass” to swallow the parts of himself he cannot show, and he hides behind smiles so the world will not see the wounds underneath.

Yet the song is not pure despair. By openly admitting “Quando mi abbracci non sento più niente” (When you hug me I feel nothing), Ultimo shines a light on emotional numbness—something many people quietly battle. The track becomes a raw diary entry about masks, fame, and the fear of being hollow inside. In the end he reminds us that, even when everything feels like “nothing,” the honesty of turning pain into melody can still be something worth sharing.
