30PRAUM Oficial
The Glamorous and Chaotic Life of Fame
The song "Groupies" by 30PRAUM Oficial, featuring Doode, Teto, and Matuê, delves into the extravagant and often chaotic lifestyle that comes with fame and success in the music industry. The repeated mention of "groupies" and "camarins" (dressing rooms) highlights the constant presence of fans and the backstage environment that is a significant part of an artist's life. The lyrics also emphasize the luxurious aspects of this lifestyle, with references to expensive watches like Rollies and Pateks, and diamond-studded jewelry, symbolizing the wealth and status that come with being a successful artist.
The song also touches on the darker side of fame. The line "Luxúria um dia pode me matar" (Lust might kill me one day) suggests that the temptations and excesses of this lifestyle can be dangerous. The artists express a sense of vulnerability, acknowledging that while they enjoy the perks of their success, there is a constant pressure and a risk of losing themselves in the process. The mention of "sofrimento" (suffering) and how it didn't make them a hostage indicates that despite the challenges and hardships they've faced, they have managed to rise above them and not let them define their lives.
Additionally, the song reflects on the sense of camaraderie and equality among the artists. The repeated phrase "Meus manos vão na frente, somos iguais" (My brothers go ahead, we are the same) underscores the importance of loyalty and unity within their circle. This sense of brotherhood is a grounding force amidst the chaos of fame, reminding them of their roots and the people who have been with them through thick and thin. The song is a candid portrayal of the highs and lows of a life in the spotlight, balancing the allure of luxury with the reality of its pitfalls.
