Akylas – “Ferto”

Composers: Akylas, papatanice, TEO.x3

Lyric writers: Orfeas Nonis, Akylas

“Ferto”

The song “Ferto” explores greed and the constant human urge to acquire more and more, within a society that cultivates the feeling that nothing is ever enough. The protagonist struggles to distinguish between genuine dreams and the need to fill the emotional gaps left by childhood deprivation. Deeply personal for its creators, the song is dedicated to parents who, despite hardships, offered love and hope and to the children striving to give back. 

Ultimately, it is a story about greed and consumerism, but also about gratitude and the value of what we already have. It kind of brings our whole life into one song in a bittersweet way. It’s joyful, but there’s also something sharp in it. And if you really let yourself feel it beyond just the happiness, it can move you very deeply.

Ferto – Lyrics

I have to play, I won't fold
With a strong drive, I can't fail
There's no limit, nothing can stop me
I won’t rest 'til I have it all

I want a crown and a throne to sit on
Checkbook in hand, a check for every name
Bring me a drink to quench my thirst
Bring me everything, I'll still want more

Real estate, bring it
Sashimi tuna, bring it
Gold watch, designer glasses
Like I said, bring it
Leather coat, bring it
And escargot, bring it
Rally cars, yacht with stars
Like I said, bring it
(bring it, bring it, bring it)

Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Like I said, bring it
Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it

I want to reach the top, not just up a step
Not easy to please, so don’t hold back
Even everything is not enough
I want so much more, beyond what’s real

I want fame, immortality, and money
Designer clothes that are crazy expensive
I want everyone chanting my name so loud
And dance, dance on my Hollywood star

Diamond rings, bring it
Cuban links, bring it
Submarines, jet machines,
I want it, so bring it
The Earth and skies, bring it
The whole planet, bring it
The globe and beyond
If I don't own it, bring it

Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Like I said, bring it
Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it

I want fame, immortality and money
Designer clothes that are crazy expensive
I want everyone chanting my name so loud
And shouting "bring it to us, Akylas, bring it"

Look at me, Mum
This is for everything we never had
I feel like I'm gonna make it
And we won’t look back again
Look at me now, Mum
I'm spoiling the kid that was never spoiled
I’ll get everything for you
Houses, cars, and island villas
But of course if I win.
Whatever, you get it, sooo

Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Bring it to me, bring it to me, bring it
Like I said, bring it
