Propaganda

Fabri Fibra's song 'Propaganda' delves into the disillusionment and frustration of everyday life, particularly focusing on the empty promises made by politicians. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life filled with problems and a sense of being overwhelmed by daily responsibilities. The protagonist feels trapped in a cycle of work and societal expectations, struggling to keep up with the rhythm of life. This sense of entrapment is further exacerbated by the feeling of being undervalued and misunderstood at work, where even his boss doesn't recognize him correctly, calling him by the wrong name and threatening his job security due to high taxes.

The chorus of the song highlights the pervasive nature of political propaganda. Fabri Fibra criticizes how politicians make grand promises during election seasons, only to fail to deliver once in power. The lyrics reflect a sense of hope and desperation, as the protagonist clings to the idea that a new political figure might finally bring about the change he desires. This hope is symbolized by the repeated phrase 'propaganda, propaganda,' suggesting that the protagonist is aware of the manipulative nature of these promises but still yearns for a savior who speaks his language and understands his struggles.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the protagonist's situation remains unchanged despite the passing of years and the continuous cycle of political promises. The final verses underscore the futility of believing in these empty promises, as the protagonist remains jobless and with diminishing self-esteem. The song ends on a note of irony, with the protagonist acknowledging the superficial appeal of political figures who present themselves as relatable and trustworthy, yet ultimately fail to bring about any real change. 'Propaganda' serves as a powerful critique of the political system and the false hope it often instills in the populace.
