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.
