Sotto indagine Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro of the song sets the tone, emphasizing the tension of being constantly watched and under investigation. The repeated mention of “indagine” (investigation) and “one-six-seven” (likely referencing the group or area) hints at the dangerous environment where they live, symbolizing how constant surveillance and danger are a part of their everyday life.

[Strofa 1]
In this verse, the artists describe their illicit lifestyle, highlighting the tools they use to stay off the radar. They mention intercepted iPhones and unregistered SIM cards, which are common tactics for avoiding law enforcement. The reference to “bossoli calibro 9” (9mm shell casings) and “caricatore esteso” (extended magazines) suggests a life surrounded by violence. They also mention moving with high-speed cars (“NOS”) and having protection, emphasizing that they’ve been under investigation for years without leaving traces. The line about being in a cell but not for white-collar crimes signals their involvement in street-level, hard crimes. The comparison to a “Bull Terrier” and “White shark” shows their dangerous, aggressive nature. The mention of drügs and money (“droga” and “contanti”) points to their ongoing involvement in illegal activities.

[Ritornello]
The chorus is a repetitive mantra, stressing the theme of being under constant surveillance (“sotto indagine”). It echoes the feeling of being pursued by singerities, with little hope of escaping the investigation, creating a sense of urgency and danger that runs throughout the song.

[Strofa 2]
This verse dives deeper into the artist’s mindset and the reality of living in a criminal world. They talk about the rewards of illegal work—money, luxury items, and a lavish lifestyle—but they also acknowledge the effort and time it took to get there (“15 anni” or 15 years). The lyric “piuttosto che essere infame, preferisco essere morto” (rather than be a snitch, I’d rather be dead) reflects their loyalty to their code of honor, valuing respect over anything else. The mention of money earned from the streets and their rise from nothing (“partito da una cella”) shows the contrast between their humble beginnings and their current status. They boast about their profits, highlighting the risk involved in their operations (“rischio grosso”) but also the large returns. The reference to smuggling (“passo il confine”) and handling large amounts of cash (“ventimila” in their pocket) illustrates their involvement in high-stakes, cross-border crime. Despite the tension of being under investigation, they seem to thrive in the dangerous game, doubling their profits through any means necessary.

[Ritornello]
The repeated chorus reinforces the constant pressure and fear of being under investigation. It highlights that despite their wealth and success, they are still trapped in the system of surveillance and danger.
