During the years, their sound progressed from catchy songs about personal and ironical issues to more aggressive ones, characterized by politically polemic themes.
Branco
Derozer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E neppure affamato
Non è pericoloso
Se non è provocato
A volte quando è solo
Ed incrocia il tuo sguardo
Sembra che si smarrisca
Sembra quasi spaventato
Ma quando arriva sera
E la notte cala
Agli altri cani si unirà
E denti ti mostrerà
Non hai speranza se stasera
Sbagli strada
Nessuna pietà (per te) x 3
Branco
Sei incappato in mezzo al
Branco
Fuggire non si può dal
Branco (e non ti salverai)
Perdi il controllo
Dell'intera situazione
Ma è troppo tardi quando
Ritorna la ragione
L'adrenalina lascia il posto
Alla tua frustrazione
Mentre la bestia aspetta
La sua prossima occasione
The song "Branco" by Derozer highlights the danger of groups and how they act as a unit. The lyrics evoke the image of a lone dog, who is not a threat unless provoked. However, when the night falls, and the dog unites with others of its kind, it becomes part of a "branco," a pack, and will show its teeth aggressively to any intruder. The song's central idea is that, like the pack of dogs, humans can also lose control and become dangerous when they act as a group without reasoning. When adrenaline kicks in, and frustration takes over, it becomes challenging to stop oneself from acting upon impulse.
The song also touches upon the feeling of hopelessness that one might experience when caught in such a situation. The lyrics suggest that once one has become a target of the "branco," there is no escaping their rage. When one loses control, it is impossible to reason with reason, and in trying to do so, they only expose themselves to danger.
Overall, Branco is a cautionary tale, warning against the dangers of losing reason and succumbing to a mob mentality. It reminds us that as much as we are individual beings, we are also social creatures that are influenced by the societies we inhabit.
