Interpretation
'Connexion' is a song by Austrian artist
RAF Camora, known for his sophisticated lyrics. The song's lyrics address themes of criminality, drug trafficking, and paranoia that can arise from a life on the run.
The line 'Sembra quasi che tutti vogliono fare Sinaloa' translates to 'It almost seems like everyone wants to do Sinaloa'. This is likely referring to the Sinaloa drug cartel, which is known to originate from Mexico. This could indicate that RAF Camora is criticizing the desire of many people to get involved in illegal activities.
The verse 'Tieni a bada affianco puta madre, frate, e pure la tua troia' could suggest that the singer is familiar with the risks and dangers of underground life and is warning against them. These lines could also be an urging to be cautious and guard against the dangers that come with such a lifestyle.
The words 'Sai che faccio tutto questo sempre in paranoia / Perché aspetto il giorno dell'arresto, passa in fretta khoya' express the constant fear of being arrested that accompanies someone who is on the wrong side of the law. 'Khoya' is an Arabic word meaning 'brother', which indicates a sense of community or belonging among those in similar situations.
'Para-parà-pà-pà, Para-parà-pà-pà / Kichta para Malaga-ga / Para Malaga-ga / Para-parà-pà-pà, Para-parà-pà-pà / Para-parà-pà-pà / Free Hamza, Fabio, Esco, Baby Gang' could be interpreted as a call for freedom for specific individuals or as a general demand for freedom.
The lines 'Hashish, zatla, marocain / Cous-cous, mafia, italien' connect drugs with specific cultures and places and could indicate that RAF Camora is highlighting the international aspects of drug trafficking and criminality.
