O Escolhido (feat. Teto)
Brocasito
The Chosen One: A Journey Through Wealth and Struggle
Brocasito's song "O Escolhido (feat. TETO)" delves into themes of wealth, power, and the feeling of being destined for greatness. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life filled with luxury and high fashion, as evidenced by lines like "10K em mim, eu fico chique" and "Alta costura, eu tenho grife." This opulence is juxtaposed with the gritty reality of street life, where the protagonist navigates through challenges and adversaries, feeling like 'the chosen one' who is destined to rise above it all.
The recurring motif of trying to escape the 'matrix' suggests a desire to break free from societal constraints and the trappings of a predetermined life. This metaphorical matrix represents the struggles and limitations imposed by the environment, and the protagonist's efforts to transcend these barriers. The reference to a "baby mama" who is "rica tipo a Kim" (rich like Kim Kardashian) further emphasizes the aspiration for a life of affluence and recognition.
Violence and danger are also prevalent themes in the song, with mentions of firearms and confrontations. The line "E a minha glizz vai acertar seu nariz" (my glizzy will hit your nose) underscores the constant threat of violence that looms over the protagonist's life. Despite these dangers, there is a sense of invincibility and confidence, as the protagonist repeatedly asserts, "Eu me sinto escolhido" (I feel chosen). This phrase encapsulates the core of the song, highlighting a belief in one's unique destiny and the resilience to overcome any obstacle.
The song also touches on the impact of wealth and success on personal relationships and mental health. The protagonist's addiction to money and the superficial connections with "bad bitches" reflect a deeper sense of emptiness and the search for meaning beyond material possessions. The use of substances like marijuana and cigarettes to cope with neuroses further illustrates the internal struggles faced by the protagonist.
