Som Imaginário Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sou um simples braço sou uma cabeça à frente.
Não me reproduzo não tenho genética não tenho amor,
Sou o presidente, dono, regente, o senhor.
I speak english, you speak portuguese.
I drink coffe, you drink milk.
Getting to know you, getting to know you.
Are you a business man?
Getting to know you.
I speak English.
The lyrics to Som Imaginario's song Super-God describe the feeling of power and control that comes with being at the forefront of technological advancement. The singer describes themselves as the "lord" and "president" of this world, where everyone else is a slave to the technology that they have created. The singer sees themselves as more advanced than other humans and separates themselves by stating that they do not reproduce, have genetics, or feel love. The singer is essentially portraying themselves as a sort of god, who has conquered technology and is superior to other humans who are still dependent on it.
The lyrics then switch to the singer speaking in English, perhaps to highlight the fact that they are so powerful and advanced that they can communicate in multiple languages. However, it is interesting to note that in this part of the lyrics, the singer is trying to connect with the listener on a more personal level. They ask questions like "getting to know you" and "are you a business man?," which highlights the human desire for connection and interaction, even when one is in a position of power.
