buco nero Lyrics – I Cani

buco nero Lyrics by I Cani is a new italian song by I Cani. The song is released on I Cani’s official YouTube channel, written by Niccolò Contessa, produced by Niccolò Contessa & Andrea Suriani, and from the album Post mortem, offering listeners a reflective and existential experience.

Through fragmented daily observations and dark humor, buco nero explores themes of absurdity, societal expectation, and inner emptiness. Niccolò Contessa paints a picture of mundane modern life where people go through routines, hide emotional truths, and avoid discomfort. At the heart of the song lies the recurring metaphor of the “buco nero” (black hole)—a symbol of the emotional void, of the unspeakable, and of the chaos hidden beneath surface-level normality. The track critiques performative social norms and the repression of existential anxiety, capturing a sense of alienation wrapped in irony.

buco nero Lyrics

[Strofa 1]
Simone è contento
Perché gli hanno pubblicato l’articolo
Mentre Arianna si lamenta
Che ogni giorno è come andare al patibolo
E io mi sento, io mi sento, io mi sento
Vagamente ridicolo
Perché mi domando, mi domando, mi domando
Cosa c’è davvero sotto al vestito
Un buco
Filippo si annoia
E vorrebbe partire in anticipo
E sto in fila alla cassa
Ho di nuovo scordato il basilico
E tutto questo mi sento, io mi sento, io mi sento
Sempre più ridicolo
Mentre mi domando, mi domando, mi domando
Cosa c’è davvero sotto al vestito
Un buco, perché

[Ritornello 1]
Non si piange ai matrimoni
Non si ride ai funerali
Non si complica la vita alla gente con i tuoi problemi immaginari
Un buco nero, un buco
Non ci si scaccola il naso
Fermi in macchina al semaforo
Non si pensa a fare sesso e se c’è gente a cena
Un buco nero, un buco
Un buco nero, un buco
Un buco nero, un buco

[Strofa 2]
Poi non sai che è successo
Ad Antonio quando era sull’autobus
L’han trovato per terra sdraiato a ridere
Forse si è reso conto, reso conto
Di cosa c’è davvero
Gli è venuto un pensiero
È finito
Nel buco nero (Buco)
Nel buco nero (Buco)
Nel buco nero (Buco)
Nel buco nero (Buco)
Nel buco nero (Buco)
Nel buco nero (Buco)
Nel buco nero (Buco, nel buco)
Quindi

[Ritornello 2]
Non si fischia ai matrimoni
Non si mangia ai funerali
Non si fa finta di niente se qualcuno parla di problemi immaginari
Un buco nero, un buco
Non toccarti i genitali
Neanche quando sei da solo
Non parlare della morte se c’è gente a cena
Un buco nero, un buco
Un buco nero, un buco
Un buco nero, un buco

buco nero Lyrics Meaning

[Strofa 1]
Niccolò Contessa introduces several characters—Simone, Arianna, and Filippo—each navigating banal but emotionally charged situations. While Simone is content with his public recognition and Arianna dreads daily life, Niccolò reflects on his own growing sense of absurdity. He feels out of place, overwhelmed by small moments like forgetting basil at the grocery store, and questions the reality beneath appearances. The repeated question about what lies under the surface—answered with “un buco”—underscores the emptiness masked by everyday life. It’s a portrayal of quiet existential crisis amidst routine.

[Ritornello 1]
The first chorus satirizes social conventions by listing arbitrary behavioral rules—don’t cry at weddings, don’t laugh at funerals, and don’t make others uncomfortable with your inner world. These norms, presented with a mix of sarcasm and resignation, reveal how society discourages authenticity and emotional transparency. The repetition of “un buco nero” highlights the contrast between what’s socially acceptable and the emotional void that many people carry silently within.

[Strofa 2]
This section tells a surreal anecdote about Antonio, who seemingly has a moment of existential clarity while riding a bus. His sudden laughter and collapse suggest a breakdown or awakening—perhaps he truly perceived the “black hole” that underlies existence. Niccolò’s repetition of “nel buco nero” suggests Antonio’s symbolic or literal fall into this void, reinforcing the song’s theme of suppressed chaos eventually surfacing. The incident becomes a metaphor for what happens when someone momentarily escapes the scripted norms of life.

[Ritornello 2]
The second chorus continues the list of rigid social expectations, escalating into more intimate and taboo topics. From self-touch to talking about death, Niccolò points out how society polices even private thoughts and emotions. The contradiction between lived experience and acceptable behavior is emphasized, with “un buco nero” again symbolizing the repressed truths we’re taught to ignore. This final refrain intensifies the song’s critique of cultural hypocrisy and emotional repression, circling back to the theme of the hidden void beneath social performance.
