Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Per quello che mi ha dato lei.
Shock, shock, ancora sotto shock
Per quello che mi ha detto lei.
Shock, shock, ancora sotto shock
Per quello che mi ha fatto lei.
Shock, shock, ancora sotto shock
Per quello che ha creato lei.
............., la testa fa trash,
M'han detto 'questo si chiama flash'.
.............., le gambe fan trash,
M'han detto 'questo si chiama flash'.
............, la bocca fa trash;
Puttana, questo si chiama flash.
Peggio di così LSD.
Shock, shock, ancora sotto shock
Per quello che mi ha dato lei.
Shock, shock, ancora sotto shock
Per quello che mi ha detto lei.
Shock, shock, ancora sotto shock
Per quello che mi ha fatto lei.
Shock, shock, ancora sotto shock
Per quello che ha creato lei. (2 volte)

Peggio di così LSD
The lyrics to Enrico Ruggeri's song "LSD Flash" describe the singer's experience with a woman who has given, said, done, and created something that has left him in a state of shock. The repetition of the phrase "shock, shock" emphasizes the intensity of his reaction. The woman's actions have affected different parts of his body - his head, legs, and mouth all feel like they are producing trash. He describes the experience as worse than LSD.
The singer's use of the word "flash" implies that this experience is sudden, intense, and fleeting. The fact that he compares it to LSD highlights the psychedelic, mind-altering nature of the experience. The repeated use of the word "trash" suggests that he feels like the woman's actions have left him feeling dirty or used in some way.
It's unclear exactly what the woman has done to provoke such a strong response, but the overall impression is one of disorientation and confusion. The singer seems to feel like he is still "under the spell" of whatever she did, even after the immediate experience has ended.
