Som Més
Obrint Pas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De la merda que ens han deixat
Agafant pels peus
Aquesta societat
Que no ens deixa viure
Que ens obliga a ser normals
Que ens envia
A empreses de treball temporal
Per poder produir
Per poder estalviar
Per poder consumir
La "cultura nacional"
Però nosaltres sabem
El que cal fer
I cada cop som més
"Som Més" by Obrint Pas is a song that talks about the state of society and the struggles it faces. The lyrics describe how the current society forces people to work in temporary jobs, produce and save money, and consume culture. The song speaks to the masses and how there is an understanding among them that there needs to be a change in society. They are taking the reins and refusing to live in a society that forces them to be normal.
The lyrics convey a message of resistance, a call to unite and fight against the oppression of society. The song speaks to the power of the collective; they are taking over from the mess that has been left behind and striving towards creating a better future. They are pushing back against the forces that seem to have made life difficult, including the system that makes them feel like they are not living their lives to the fullest.
In conclusion, "Som Més" is a powerful song that unites individuals against the forces and structures that have held them back. It is a call to action and a reminder that together, they are more powerful.
