Underground
Golpe De Estado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Na avenida São João
Amplificador no pau
E guitarra na mão
O som sai da fumaça
Sai da poluição
O pó cobre a cidade
Os prédios e o chão
A noite sai prá gandaia
Cai no underground
Seu submundo é mais limpo
Que essa sociedade normal
Mundanas e cafetões
Financiam seu show
Não toca baião nem xote
Faz rolar rock'n'roll
Tipo selvagem estranho maldito
Anda na rua com passo aflito
Arma na cinta não é referência
No underground é prá sobrevivência
(Add by Ronaldo Boss)
The first verse of the song tells the story of a tenant living in a small kitchen in São João Avenue, Brazil. He has an amplifier and guitar, and despite living in a polluted and dusty city, he manages to create his own sound that rises above the pollution. The singer of the song is part of the underground music scene that operates in the subculture of society, and he finds it to be a more natural and artful environment than the so-called 'normal society'.
The second verse refers to the support the singer of the song receives from various figures in the underground music scene. There are those who provide financing for his shows, which tend to be rock and roll, as opposed to traditional Brazilian styles such as baião and xote. The chorus talks about the nature of the underground music scene being a reflection of the wild and bizarre personalities that are part of it. In this society, people are forced to carry weapons and have a high level of aggression to ensure their survival.
Overall, the song Underground appears to be an ode to the Brazilian underground music scene, particularly the rock and roll scenes that have operated outside the mainstream for many years.
