Jesto's song "Fuoco Su Roma" (Fire on Rome) tells the story of a devastating fire in the city of Rome. The narrator watches the fire from the Gianicolo hill as it spreads rapidly, engulfing every building and street in its path. The Tiber River has become dry, and the fire moves quickly with the help of the wind. The narrator realizes that it is only a matter of time before the fire reaches where they live. They have only moments to spare before the flames trap them and become another victim. As they witness angels falling from the sky, the narrator desperately calls out the names of their friends but can only inhale smoke and tears. Amidst the chaos and destruction, the narrator searches for hope, looking for the mythical phoenix to rise from the ashes. However, they cannot find it, and it seems that all is lost. The song is a powerful reflection of the ravages of fire and the sense of helplessness that comes with it. Jesto's lyrics express the idea that, in the face of overwhelming disaster, we must keep moving forward and try to stay one step ahead, even if it may be too late.
