Propaganda
desavanço Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A única vontade é se esconder
Pra não escorregar nesse lamaçal de tédio
Pra não deixar tudo morrer
Eu vejo milhares de rostos nus
À luz do metrô de são paulo
E as paredes gritam em letras garrafais
A música que toca é sempre a mesma
Mas quem sou eu pra julgar?
Eu não entendo esse regime
Toda cilada já se vestiu de ótima ideia
E apareceu sem ocê pedir
Caio ingênuo, alvo de chacota
Invade a alma os olhos deixam entrar
E atinge lá no fundo a maldade que eu não vi
Quero me exilar
In "Propaganda," Desavanço explores themes of disillusionment, societal pressure, and the monotony of daily life. The lyrics suggest that the only certainty in this world is propaganda, indicating that we are constantly bombarded with messages and ideologies that shape our thoughts and desires. The singer desires to hide, to avoid slipping into the quagmire of boredom and mundanity.
The lyrics continue by describing a scene in São Paulo's subway, where the singer observes countless naked faces, stripped of their individuality. The walls scream with bold letters, pulsating and overwhelming the senses. This imagery reflects the overstimulation and information overload that is pervasive in modern society; everything is flashy and distracting, making it difficult to find authenticity.
The song mentions that the music playing is always the same, reflecting the repetitive and predictable nature of mainstream culture. However, the singer acknowledges their own inability to judge, implying that they are not exempt from being influenced by the same forces they critique. The regime mentioned here could refer to the oppressive social norms and expectations that govern our lives and limit individuality.
The lyrics then shift to discuss how every trap presents itself as a brilliant idea, catching the singer off guard. They become a naive target of ridicule, as the wickedness hidden behind these traps infiltrates their soul. This suggests that the singer has become aware of the manipulation and deceit that pervades society, causing them to desire isolation and exile from this corrupted world.
Overall, "Propaganda" conveys a sense of disillusionment with societal expectations, the overwhelming power of propaganda, and the desire for freedom from the constraints of conformity. It emphasizes the need for self-awareness and critical thinking in order to escape the traps set by society and preserve one's individuality.

E apareceu sem ocê pedir
And it appeared without you asking
Caio ingênuo, alvo de chacota

Invade a alma os olhos deixam entrar
Invades the soul, the eyes let it in
E atinge lá no fundo a maldade que eu não vi
And reaches deep down the wickedness I didn't see
Quero me exilar
I want to exile myself
