Desmascarar Sua Bandeira

Flicts' song "Desmascarar Sua Bandeira" is a powerful and defiant anthem that challenges the symbols of nationalism and regional pride in Brazil, particularly targeting the state of São Paulo. The lyrics are a bold denunciation of the hidden fascism that the band perceives to be lurking beneath the surface of these symbols. By repeatedly declaring "Foda-se a bandeira do estado de São Paulo" and "Foda-se a bandeira e o hino nacional," the song rejects the traditional emblems of state and national pride, suggesting that they mask deeper issues of hatred and intolerance.

The song's chorus, with its emphatic chant of "ANTIFA!" and the call to "Desmascarar o facho, Desmascarar o fascista que é você!" (Unmask the fascist, unmask the fascist that is you!), serves as a rallying cry against fascism and those who perpetuate it. The lyrics accuse those who hide behind the guise of tradition and origin of being driven by fear, insecurity, and irrationality. The song suggests that the so-called pride in São Paulo's heritage is a cover for more sinister traits such as racism, frustration, and cowardice.

Flicts uses their music to confront and expose the underlying prejudices and bigotry that they believe are disguised by patriotic and regional symbols. The repetition of the phrase "Desmascarar o facho" underscores the urgency and importance of this unmasking. The song is not just a critique but a call to action, urging listeners to recognize and challenge the fascist tendencies within society and within themselves. By doing so, Flicts aims to promote a more inclusive and diverse community, free from the hatred and intolerance that they see as being perpetuated by these symbols.
