La gente mette etichette alle cose
People put labels on things
Così è più facile metterle in ordine dopo
So it's easier to put them in order after
Mette etichette alle persone così sa cosa sono
They put labels on people so they know what they are
Se ce l'hai scritto fuori dentro sembri meno vuoto
If it's written outside, you seem less empty inside
A me etichette ne han sempre messe parecchie
They've always put many labels on me
Adolescente arrabbiato, ribelle, depresso e poi rapper
Angry teenager, rebel, depressed, and then rapper
E a te quante ne han messe? e quante vuoi che ne mettano?
And on you, how many have they put? And how many do you want them to put?
Siamo tutti il riflesso di ciò che gli altri proiettano
We are all the reflection of what others project
Da me che cosa si aspettano?
What do they expect from me?
Un disco rap? un disco originale
A rap album? An original album
Per restare hardcore, ma un po' più commerciale?
To stay hardcore, but a bit more commercial?
E io vi lascio fare un'etichetta ci vuole
And I'll let you, a label is needed
Accetto tutto di buon grado
I accept everything willingly
Chi offre il prezzo migliore?
Who offers the best price?
Ma tra l'odio e l'amore, cosa alimenta il motore?
But between hate and love, what fuels the engine?
Se i miei pensieri prendessero forma eclisserebbero il sole
If my thoughts took shape, they'd eclipse the sun
Così li lascio nascosti, ma poi diventano mostri
So I leave them hidden, but then they become monsters
E se li scrivo, esorcizzo, ma poi diventano i vostri
And if I write them, I exorcise, but then they become yours
E lei mi odiava per questo
And she hated me for this
Perché il più grande torto che puoi fare a qualcuno talvolta è essere onesto
Because the greatest harm you can do to someone sometimes is being honest
E ogni testo è uno specchio, ogni specchio deforma
And every lyric is a mirror, every mirror distorts
E il bisogno di una cosa spesso la trasforma
And the need for something often transforms it
Come tra uomo e donna
Like between man and woman
La paura di restare soli sembra amore e passa come una sbornia
The fear of being alone seems like love and passes like a hangover
C'è chi sa tutto di me e ha detto peste e corna
There are those who know everything about me and have said the worst things
E ora sai tutto anche te, ma qualcosa non torna
And now you know everything too, but something's not right
Easy, non preoccuparti che sono cazzi miei
Easy, don't worry, it's my f*cking business
Non vedi gli altri per quello che sono, ma per quello che sei
You don't see others for what they are, but for what you are
Quante etichette han messo? e quante vuoi che ne mettano?
How many labels have they put? And how many do you want them to put?
Vogliamo tutti essere ciò che gli altri vorrebbero
We all want to be what others would want
Easy, non preoccuparti che sono cazzi miei
Easy, don't worry, it's my f*cking business
Non vedi gli altri per quello che sono, ma per quello che sei
You don't see others for what they are, but for what you are
Quante etichette han messo? e quante vuoi che ne mettano?
How many labels have they put? And how many do you want them to put?
Vogliamo tutti essere ciò che gli altri vorrebbero
We all want to be what others would want

eclisserebbero — they would eclipse
Eclisserebbero comes from the verb eclissare, meaning 'to eclipse'. It's a sophisticated and less common verb, especially in its conditional form, making it stand out.
In the song, Willie Peyote uses it to express the overwhelming power of his thoughts: "Se i miei pensieri prendessero forma eclisserebbero il sole" (If my thoughts took shape, they would eclipse the sun). This vivid imagery elevates the lyrics beyond everyday language, making it a memorable and enticing word for learners.
