Rose Villain – il bacio del serpente Lyrics
[Lyrics to “The Serpent’s Kiss” ft. Guè]
[Verse 1: Rose Villain]
There are those who see love as a curse (Oh, oh)
Those who prefer a whim to stability (Oh, oh, oh)
But those who dance with the devil make a sacrifice
You deny it, but I have all the screenshots
You’re not real, I’m not going back any easier
You go back to Real, El Bicho
You don’t know
I would have made sure it was always spring
I would have challenged even the worst storm
I would have burned just to light up your evening You
‘ll never know
I cry while you say: “Life is like this”
Our time has melted like a Dalí
Everything passes and yet I’m still here
And you’ll never know
[Verse 2: Guè]
Yes, I thought you were my Bonny
Eva Kant, Mia Wallace, but you can’t live on dreams
So I spin out, I cut the cobra’s head off
And I’m too G (G) to believe in lies (Lies)
For the poison of these bitches I got gallons of antidote
Ready for war, yo, I’m a ghetto myth Antilochus
You only work with tokens, you’re like a jukebox
I dodge your shots, you’re a ratchet like Nike Shox
So give up, I hope it doesn’t pass you by like jolla
You don’t get a holla from me, you don’t get a dollar ( You don’t get a dollar )
You’ll never know what’s going on in this head
I know that a whole life isn’t enough for me
And I stay chill, don’t take it for weakness
I reload while I caress a panther
Who dies in this game is decided by the gods
G-U-È, Rose Villain, joint album in ’26
il bacio del serpente by Rose Villain (Ft. Guè)
In the opening verse, Rose Villain delves into the complexities of love, portraying it as a double-edged sword. She likens love to a curse for some, while others are drawn to the thrill of uncertainty over the comfort of stability. The sacrifices made in a relationship with someone dangerous hint at a toxic dynamic, underscoring the emotional toll it takes. Rose observes that the person she addresses has lost their authenticity, opting to evade the truth, while she has grown weary of being easily swayed. Once, she was prepared to fight for their bond, enduring hardships and sacrificing her own well-being for their happiness. However, time has elapsed, and she recognizes that their connection has dissipated like a Salvador Dalí painting—an illusion that once existed but has now faded into nothingness. Despite this realization, she finds herself tethered to the past, while her counterpart moves forward, oblivious to her lingering pain.
In the second verse, Guè reflects on his former idealization of the one he loved, comparing her to legendary figures like Bonnie from Bonnie and Clyde and Eva Kant from Italian comics. However, he now understands that mere dreams cannot sustain a relationship. He articulates a readiness to confront challenges directly, employing powerful metaphors such as severing the head of a snake to safeguard himself. No longer susceptible to deceit, he has developed an antidote for the toxic influences surrounding him, proudly identifying himself as a “ghetto legend” prepared for battle. Guè critiques the person he addresses, noting that they only engage when it serves their interests, likening them to a jukebox that requires tokens to operate. He skillfully evades their manipulative tactics, dismissing their attempts as vacuous as fleeting fashion trends. He urges them to move on, asserting that they will gain nothing from him henceforth. He emphasizes that they will never grasp the intricacies of his thoughts, and he has emerged stronger, fully aware of life’s brevity and ready to embrace his own empowerment.
