Starting fires since seventeen
Silver spoon in daddy's jeans
You go four, three, two, one, count it, count it down
Mister in a stolen dress
You're so dark but you're painted red
Soaking wet in your golden bed
You go four, three, two, one, count it, count it down
How are you sleeping at night?
How do you close both your eyes?
Living with all of those lives on your hands?
Standing alone on that hill
Using your fuel to kill
We won't take it standing still
Watch us dance
How are you sleeping at night?
How do you close both your eyes?
Living with all of those lives on your hands?
Standing alone on that hill
Using your fuel to kill
We won't take it standing still
Watch us dance
We're gonna dance on gasoline
We're gonna dance on gasoline
We're gonna dance on gasoline
Your ego is dangerous
Your own blood is losing trust
With neighbors left in the dust
We go four, three, two, one, count it, count it down
Seated on a stolen throne
Playing God with your heart of stone
The whole world is waiting for you to go
Down, down, down, down
Down
How are you sleeping at night?
How do you close both your eyes?
Living with all of those lives on your hands?
Standing alone on that hill
Using your fuel to kill
We won't take it standing still
Watch us dance
How are you sleeping at night?
How do you close both your eyes?
Living with all of those lives on your hands?
Standing alone on that hill
Using your fuel to kill
We won't take it standing still
Watch us dance
We're gonna dance on gasoline
We're gonna dance on gasoline
We're gonna dance on gasoline
Maneskin's "Gasoline" is a song that calls out an individual who is portrayed as being selfish and dangerous. The lyrics depict this person as someone who has been reckless and destructive since their youth, who has been spoiled by their privileged upbringing, and who seems to value their own ego above anything else. The lines "You're nothing but gasoline / Starting fires since seventeen" paint a picture of someone who has been causing chaos for a long time. The lyrics "Silver spoon in daddy's jeans" suggest that this person has had it easy financially, compared to most. The lines "Mister in a stolen dress / You're so dark but you're painted red / Soaking wet in your golden bed" suggest this person may have a persona that they put on, but deep down they might not be as confident as they appear on the surface.
The chorus of the song challenges this person with the repeated question "How are you sleeping at night? / How do you close both your eyes? / Living with all of those lives on your hands?" This person is being held responsible for their actions and asked to understand the gravity of their choices. The lyrics "Using your fuel to kill" convey that this person's actions are destructive and hurtful to those around them. However, the chorus also reinforces the idea that the song's narrator and their community are not going to allow this person to continue their harmful behavior. The repetition of "Watch us dance" implies that they will continue to live their lives despite the individual's actions.
Overall, "Gasoline" is a song that critiques someone who is seen as a privileged, selfish, and destructive individual. The repetition of the phrase "We're gonna dance on gasoline" in the final chorus serves as a symbol of how this person's fuel (destructive actions) will no longer control the people around them.

BENZINA
Non sei altro che benzina
che appicca incendi da diciassette anni
Un cucchiaio d’argento nei jeans di papà
Dici “Quattro, tre, due, uno”
Conta, fai il conto alla rovescia
Un signore con un vestito rubato
Sei così scuro, ma sei dipinto di rosso
Bagnato fradicio nel tuo letto d’oro
Dici “Quattro, tre, due, uno”
Contalo, contalo alla rovescia
Come dormi la notte?
Come riesci a chiudere entrambi gli occhi?
A vivere con tutte quelle vite
Sulle tue mani?
In piedi da solo su quella collina
Usando il tuo carburante per uccidere
Non ce la faremo a stare fermi
Guardaci ballare
Come dormi la notte?
Come riesci a chiudere entrambi gli occhi?
A vivere con tutte quelle vite
Sulle tue mani?
In piedi da solo su quella collina
Usando il tuo carburante per uccidere
Non ce la faremo a stare fermi
Guardaci ballare
Balleremo sulla benzina
Balleremo sulla benzina
Balleremo sulla benzina
Il tuo ego è pericoloso
Il tuo stesso sangue sta perdendo fiducia
Con i vicini lasciati nella polvere
Andiamo, “Quattro, tre, due, uno”
Conta, conta alla rovescia
Seduto su un trono rubato
Giocando a fare Dio con un cuore di pietra
Il mondo intero sta aspettando che tu vada
Giù, giù, giù, giù
Come dormi la notte?
Come riesci a chiudere entrambi gli occhi?
A vivere con tutte quelle vite
Sulle tue mani?
In piedi da solo su quella collina
Usando il tuo carburante per uccidere
Non ce la faremo a stare fermi
Guardaci ballare
Come dormi la notte?
Come riesci a chiudere entrambi gli occhi?
A vivere con tutte quelle vite
Sulle tue mani?
In piedi da solo su quella collina
Usando il tuo carburante per uccidere
Non ce la faremo a stare fermi
Guardaci ballare
Balleremo sulla benzina
Balleremo sulla benzina
Balleremo sulla benzina
