Idolo by Jesto is all about the struggles of being an artist and the harsh criticism that comes with it. The song describes how people talk behind his back, saying that he's not good enough, and that he's a failure. They also make fun of his family and their oddity. However, Jesto doesn't let these words bring him down, and instead, he still pursues his music. The chorus, "Sei un cazzo di idolo, idolo, idolo. Rido quando gli altri piangono e piango quando gli altri ridono. E quando io vado in giro li sento che dicono", translates to "You're a fucking idol, idol, idol. Laughing when others cry, crying when others laugh. And when I'm out, I hear them say." The second verse is about Jesto himself, talking about how he used to be a loner and how people used to stare at him. He then talks about how he's gotten worse over time, but he doesn't let it get to him. Instead, he laughs about it, knowing that people are still going to talk. Overall, Idolo showcases how being an artist puts you in a place where people are constantly criticizing you, and although it may be challenging, it's essential to stay true to yourself and never let negativity bring you down.
