Song Meanings Explained.
The track opens with a gritty mood, setting the stage for a late-night rendezvous that unfolds with tension and passion. The narrative is one of indulgence and detachment, oscillating between moments of intense connection and cold indifference. The title, which translates to "After 4", suggests that the events in the song happen during the late hours when inhibitions drop and emotions run high.[Strofa 1: Bresh]
In the first verse, Bresh narrates a past encounter where initial restraint and respect contrasted with raw desire. He describes various women from different backgrounds, focusing on a Mediterranean woman as his preferred type. The verse reflects his internal conflict between wanting to hold onto a relationship and the feeling of being overwhelmed by fleeting emotions and superficial attractions.[Ritornello: Bresh, Tony Effe & Tedua]
The chorus, repeated throughout the song, emphasizes the violent and chaotic nature of the relationship. Words like "ti sputo in faccia" (I spit in your face) and "ti chiamo puttana" (I call you a whore) illustrate a raw, aggressive dynamic where sex and violence are intertwined. Yet, it’s presented as something consensual, with the characters exploring the darker side of their desires. The idea of forgetting who they are after 10 PM reinforces the theme of detachment and emotional numbness that comes with this lifestyle.[Strofa 2: Tony Effe]
Tony Effe’s verse continues the theme of indulgence. He describes waking up in hotel rooms with different women and expresses a preference for "una tipa di strada" (a street girl), rejecting the high-class, glamorous lifestyle in favor of something more real and raw. His lines convey a mixture of love, loyalty, and frustration, suggesting that despite his wild lifestyle, there is a longing for a deeper connection. However, his relationships are marked by tension and instability.[Strofa 3: Tedua]
Tedua's verse expands on the theme of physical attraction to different types of women, using vivid descriptions that include women from various cultures and backgrounds. He mentions "gli occhi libanesi" (Lebanese eyes) and "cioccolate, le cinesi" (chocolate, the Chinese), reflecting the broad range of his experiences. His lines add an element of escapism and decadence, as he boasts about his encounters and the complex, sometimes perverse, situations he finds himself in.Song Theme.
DOPO LE 4 deals with themes of lust, detachment, and the darker sides of human desire. It delves into the blurred lines between love and violence, highlighting how emotional connections can sometimes transform into something chaotic and destructive. The characters in the song are driven by passion but ultimately feel disconnected, as shown by the recurring idea of forgetting their emotions after a certain time. It paints a picture of nightlife culture where genuine affection is often overshadowed by physical desire and emotional numbness.Technical Analysis.
From a technical perspective, the production of DOPO LE 4 by Drillionaire is dark and moody, using heavy basslines and minimalist beats that create a brooding atmosphere. The beat maintains a steady tempo, allowing the lyrics to take center stage while maintaining an underlying sense of tension throughout the song. The delivery of the verses is conversational and gritty, with each artist bringing their own flow and personality into the mix. Bresh, Tony Effe, and Tedua complement each other by alternating between aggressive and reflective tones, adding depth to the song's emotional landscape. The song’s structure follows a standard verse-chorus pattern, with each artist delivering a verse and all joining together for the chorus. This repetition of the chorus emphasizes the themes of emotional numbness and detachment, reinforcing the idea that despite the intense moments, nothing truly lasts or holds meaning after the night ends. The raw and unfiltered nature of the lyrics, combined with the dark production, makes this track a powerful reflection of the contemporary nightlife scene, full of fleeting connections and emotional chaos.DOPO LE 4 by Tony Effe

[Strofa 1: Bresh]
Mi son sentito strano quando una volta
Mi piacevi troppo e non ti ho scopata la prima volta
Quando finivi, avevi l'IQOS rossa
Io da Genova con l'Air Force sporca
Quando mi chiedono la storia cos'è diventata
Le canto in faccia le canzoni della Gradinata
Bella la black, la blonde, l'asiatica, la slava
Ma la palette preferita è la mediterranea, ehi
Ho le faccette per risponderti ancora
Per tenerti ancora dovrei essere un boia
Odio il rossetto rosso perché mi rimane addosso
Non arriviamo al letto, lo facciamo in salotto
[Ritornello: Bresh, Tony Effe & Tedua]
Ti sputo in faccia solo per condire il sesso
Ti chiamo "puttana" solo perché mе l'hai chiesto
Ti sbavo il trucco, che senza stai purе meglio
Ti piace solamente quando divento violento
Solo di notte ci capiamo
Non gridare sennò mi arrestano
Dopo le quattro, ti amo
Dopo le dieci, mi dimentico
[Strofa 2: Tony Effe]
Dopo le dieci, mi dimentico chi siamo (Uoh)
Mi sveglio in hotel con una bionda di Milano (Okay)
Non voglio una modella, voglio una tipa di strada (Nah)
Fanculo te, i tuoi tacchi e le tue borse Prada (Via)
E farei qualsiasi cosa pur di averla (Sosa)
Tu staresti con me anche contro una tempesta (Contro una tempesta)
E so che manderesti lettere se vado in cella (Se vado in cella)
Tu mi fai innervosire perché sei troppo bella (Sei troppo bella)
Mi piacciono le donne, le magre, le tonde (Uoh)
Quelle del Medio Oriente, le more, le bionde (Sì)
Quelle vestite bene, le brave ma sporche (Okay)
Fedele ma anche troia che mi riempie di botte
[Ritornello: Bresh, Tony Effe & Tedua]
Ti sputo in faccia solo per condire il sesso
Ti chiamo "puttana" solo perché me l'hai chiesto
Ti sbavo il trucco, che senza stai pure meglio
Ti piace solamente quando divento violento
Solo di notte ci capiamo
Non gridare sennò mi arrestano
Dopo le quattro, ti amo
Dopo le dieci, mi dimentico
[Strofa 3: Tedua]
La voglio mora, bionda, rossa, che sia buona o porca e colta
Però ci vado scemo quando è stronza
Giro in centro, becco fighe all'Est d'Europa
Modelle così alte, per scoparle prendo quota
Vado fuori per gli occhi libanesi
Le mulatte, bianco latte, cioccolate, le cinesi
Quelle matte, un po' strafatte con il padre che non chiama
Quelle brave, laureate, le stiliste della NABA
E lei fa la Cattolica, ma non mi sembra santa
Triangolo equilatero con Jessica e Alessandra
Ginnaste con complesse posizioni
Cameriere, ordinazioni controverse con perverse tentazioni
[Ritornello: Bresh, Tony Effe & Tedua]
Ti sputo in faccia solo per condire il sesso
Ti chiamo "puttana" solo perché me l'hai chiesto
Ti sbavo il trucco, che senza stai pure meglio
Ti piace solamente quando divento violento
Solo di notte ci capiamo
Non gridare sennò mi arrestano
Dopo le quattro, ti amo
Dopo le dieci, mi dimentico
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
[Intro]
Diego
[Verse 1: Bresh]
I felt strange once
I liked you too much and didn’t sleep with you the first time
When you finished, you had the red IQOS
I’m from Genoa with dirty Air Force
When they ask me what the story has become
I sing the songs from the Gradinata in their face
Black, blonde, Asian, Slavic, they’re all beautiful
But my favorite palette is Mediterranean, hey
I have little faces to still reply to you
To keep you, I’d have to be an executioner
I hate red lipstick because it sticks to me
We don’t make it to the bed, we do it in the living room
[Chorus: Bresh, Tony Effe & Tedua]
I spit in your face just to spice up the sex
I call you "whore" only because you asked me
I smear your makeup, you even look better without it
You only like it when I get violent
We only understand each other at night
Don’t scream or they’ll arrest me
After four, I love you
After ten, I forget
[Verse 2: Tony Effe]
After ten, I forget who we are (Woah)
I wake up in a hotel with a blonde from Milan (Okay)
I don’t want a model, I want a street girl (Nah)
Screw you, your heels, and your Prada bags (Out)
And I’d do anything just to have her (Sosa)
You’d stay with me even through a storm (Through a storm)
And I know you’d send letters if I go to jail (If I go to jail)
You make me nervous because you’re too beautiful (You’re too beautiful)
I like women, skinny, curvy (Woah)
Those from the Middle East, brunettes, blondes (Yeah)
Those who dress well, good but dirty (Okay)
Faithful but also a sl*t who beats me up
[Chorus: Bresh, Tony Effe & Tedua]
I spit in your face just to spice up the sex
I call you "whore" only because you asked me
I smear your makeup, you even look better without it
You only like it when I get violent
We only understand each other at night
Don’t scream or they’ll arrest me
After four, I love you
After ten, I forget
[Verse 3: Tedua]
I want her brunette, blonde, redhead, whether she’s good or naughty and cultured
But I go crazy when she’s mean
I cruise downtown, spotting Eastern European babes
Models so tall, I need to take off to sleep with them
I go wild for Lebanese eyes
The mixed-race girls, white as milk, chocolate, the Chinese
The crazy ones, a bit stoned with dads who don’t call
The good ones, graduates, fashion designers from NABA
And she’s studying at Cattolica, but she doesn’t seem holy to me
Equilateral triangle with Jessica and Alessandra
Gymnasts with complex positions
Waitresses, controversial orders with perverse temptations
[Chorus: Bresh, Tony Effe & Tedua]
I spit in your face just to spice up the sex
I call you "whore" only because you asked me
I smear your makeup, you even look better without it
You only like it when I get violent
We only understand each other at night
Don’t scream or they’ll arrest me
After four, I love you
After ten, I forget
