Desizyon

The song 'Desizyon' by Face a Face delves into the emotional turmoil and consequences of a difficult decision. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has endured significant suffering and abuse, as indicated by lines like 'Ou ja subi, Ou ja pléré' (You have suffered, You have cried). The protagonist's body bears the marks of this abuse, and the family is in revolt, highlighting the severity of the situation. The abuser's actions have left the protagonist feeling helpless and desperate, even to the point of calling the fire department when the abuser sets the house on fire.

The chorus, 'Ou, désidé pati, Li, désidé rété' (You decided to leave, He decided to stay), underscores the pivotal moment of decision. Friends and family had advised the protagonist to think carefully before making any decisions, emphasizing the importance of reflection. Despite the advice, the protagonist chose to leave, a decision that carries significant emotional weight and regret. The repetition of 'É sa domaj' (It's a shame) throughout the song reinforces the sense of regret and sorrow over the choices made.

The song also touches on the theme of lost potential and the fleeting nature of life. The line 'Lavi'w ka pati an fimé' (Your life is going up in smoke) metaphorically represents how the protagonist's life is being consumed by the consequences of their decisions. The repeated lament 'É sa domaj' serves as a poignant reminder of the irreversible nature of some choices and the importance of careful consideration. The song's emotional depth is further amplified by the soulful delivery and the haunting melody, making 'Desizyon' a powerful narrative of pain, reflection, and the heavy burden of regret.
