Alta Moda
Antistamina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
C'è un mondo che appartiene a pochi (non ci sto!)
conti solo se hai soldi a volontà. (non ci sto!)
La gente nasconde quello che è, per la falsa società.
Rolex e pellicce appariscenti (non ci sto!)
guardano con sdegno tutti ormai. (non ci sto!)
Alta moda! Alta moda! Alta moda... non ci sto!
Prioritario è che sia griffato (non ci sto!)
per non sfigurare che si fa. (non ci sto!)
Ma in realtà è tutta messa in scena, per la falsa società.
Alta moda! Alta moda! Alta moda... non ci sto!
Alta moda! Alta moda! Alta moda... non ci sto!
The lyrics of "Alta moda" by Antistamina are a criticism of the superficiality and elitism of the fashion industry, particularly high fashion. The song denounces the idea that one's worth is determined by their wealth, as well as the pressure to conform to societal norms and standards. The chorus repeats the phrase "Alta moda," which translates to "high fashion," and serves as a refrain that expresses the singer's refusal to be part of this world.
The first verse highlights how this exclusive world belongs to only a few privileged people and how one's worth is determined by their financial status. This puts emphasis on the societal pressure to be rich to be part of the high fashion world. The second verse also highlights how people sometimes hide who they are to fit in with the falseness of society.
The lyrics are emotive and hard-hitting. They call out the practice of buying luxury goods to feel accepted or to impress others. The song suggests that the emphasis on materialism has become a sad substitute for genuine relationships and acceptance. In this song, Antistamina urges their listeners not to succumb to societal pressures but to embrace their individuality and authenticity, outside of the world of high fashion.
