The Quest for Authenticity in Ado's 'Value'

Ado's song 'Value' delves into the complexities of self-worth and the search for genuine freedom and love amidst a world that often feels superficial. The lyrics suggest a struggle with the concept of value, both in terms of personal identity and in the relationships one forms. The song's protagonist seems to be swimming in a sea of superiority, continuously rolling with the punches until they feel empty, indicating a sense of exhaustion from trying to keep up with societal expectations or personal ambitions.

The recurring theme of 'appropriate retribution' in the lyrics implies a sense of karma or the idea that one gets what they deserve. The protagonist has traded paper-thin freedom for this retribution, suggesting that the freedom they have is fragile and easily lost. There's a poignant acknowledgment of the pain and the lies remembered, hinting at a past filled with deceit or self-deception. The wind that 'steals away' could symbolize the passage of time or change, taking away what once was, while the protagonist is acutely aware of this loss.

The song also touches on the idea of love and its transformative power. If the love is fitting, it has the ability to bury even the deepest pain. However, there's a strong declaration that if everything isn't whole, then the protagonist desires nothing at all, rejecting half-measures and insincerity. The act of brushing off sand, which is burning, could represent the shedding of falsehoods to reveal the burning truth beneath. Throughout the song, Ado challenges the listener to consider what is truly valuable, and the folly in speaking of value when it's not sincerely felt or understood.
