Discover the story of the song > Stupidi Ragazzi – Achille Lauro

The lyrics talk about love and relationships. The protagonist says that there's no perfect love that doesn't hurt a little. Love is compared to drugs and peace, and the protagonist questions why love brought them here. They mention a specific person, Billie Jean, and want to be embraced in ivy with them. The chorus talks about how, even as everything falls apart, the "stupid boys" are the last ones to love each other. Love is described in terms of a drive-in movie, crystals, horse races, and a kiss. The protagonist mentions a book that says life is a carnival joke and that their relationship was more of a massacre. They wonder why their hands were quiet and why they never stopped at the edge of the cliff. The chorus repeats, emphasizing that love has become nothing. The outro talks about feeling cold and being killed slowly, and references Hiroshima, distance, nicotine, and tears. It questions what love is and mentions antibiotics and anesthesia.
