Niente Lyrics in English Ultimo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Niente by Ultimo from Italian to English.
It's been a while I haven't known where to go
I try to scream but I've got no voice left
You say come on, we can start over
But I don't have any more words to offer you
Yeah, it's true you enchant me even if you don't talk to me
But the sun's gone and I don't see it here anymore
Yes, it's true I had said it'll be forever
It's sad but
When you hug me I don't feel anything anymore
When I sit on the roof of the world
I realize I'm the same as always
Who hides at the bottom
Of this stupid, fragile, dishonest glass of mine
That I drink to swallow
The part of me that can't be seen
You always talk about everything
But you never have a reason
I keep quiet and endure
I think of a better future
Of course, what do you think
That I'm happy now?
Can't you see I use a smile to mask the wounds
I'm the same as always
Who always talks about himself
But I do it so you don't see
The real part of me
That's why look closely at me
Because now the curtain falls
You know, if people opened up
The theater wouldn't exist
Maybe I have to lie
Show what I'm not
I'd like to be able to love
Yet I don't get moved
Because dreaming turned me into a cloud with feet
That's why we're close but with different thoughts, yeah
It's been a while I haven't known where to go
I try to scream but I've got no voice left
You say, 'Come on, we can start over'
But I don't have any more words to offer you
Yeah, it's true you enchant me even if you don't talk to me
But the sun's gone and I don't see it here anymore
Yes, it's true I had said it'll 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
See, I can't do it
I don't feel the same emotion as before
I feel I'm talking but the body's different
And I see people waiting in line
They're out there all waiting
They shout the name I chose years ago
But mine isn't a stage name
It's the name reality chose for me that day
I who used to live life
All of it inside a parking lot
I spent hours talking
With dreams inside myself
Now I look at the mirror
I see the same person
Then I go outside
And something in me doesn't work
All the anger I had lives inside this song of mine
Life's a carousel ride that changes direction
Then the world's a wrong place
With the right intentions
But I'm what I loved
I'm my songs, yeah
It's been a while I haven't known where to go
I try to scream but I've got no voice left
You say, 'Come on, we can start over'
But I don't have any more words to offer you
Yeah, it's true you enchant me even if you don't talk to me
But the sun's gone and I don't see it here anymore
Yes, it's true I had said it'll 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.
