Monstro

In Bezegol's song "Monstro," the artist delves into the internal and external struggles of trying to escape the metaphorical monster that life can turn us into. The repetitive chorus, "Esforço-me por descobrir a forma de fugir à norma, de ser o monstro que a vida nos torna," translates to "I strive to find a way to escape the norm, to not become the monster that life turns us into." This line encapsulates the central theme of the song: the relentless effort to avoid becoming a product of life's harsh realities and societal expectations.

Bezegol emphasizes his efforts for his family, friends, and life itself, highlighting the personal sacrifices and challenges he faces. He speaks about the difficulty of maintaining integrity and kindness in a world that often rewards the opposite. The line, "Difícil dar a outra face, difícil ter de engolir sapo," meaning "It's hard to turn the other cheek, hard to swallow frogs," reflects the internal conflict of staying true to oneself while dealing with the hypocrisy and weakness of others. The artist also touches on the frustration of being underestimated and the struggle to remain patient and sane in a world that can drive one to madness.

The song also explores the idea that everyone has their own monster, shaped by their environment and experiences. Bezegol points out that while we are quick to judge others, we often fail to see the strings being pulled from above, suggesting a critique of societal structures and those in power. The line, "Manter o povo burro p'ra lhes sacar o dinheiro," meaning "Keep the people dumb to take their money," criticizes the manipulation and exploitation by those in authority. Through his lyrics, Bezegol calls for awareness and resistance against becoming the very monsters we despise.
