Apenas 23

LetoDie's song 'Apenas 23' is a raw and unfiltered expression of personal turmoil and existential angst. The lyrics serve as a candid confession, where the artist reflects on his life at the age of 23, feeling stuck and disillusioned. He acknowledges his mistakes and the disappointments that have shaped him, expressing a sense of apathy towards the world's problems. This apathy is not born out of ignorance but rather a conscious choice to focus on his own struggles and inner demons.

The song is rich with cultural references, from Bukowski to Dalai Lama, and Ned Kelly to Allan Kardec, illustrating LetoDie's complex worldview. He aligns himself with figures known for their rebellious or nihilistic attitudes, rejecting conventional wisdom and spiritual guidance. This rejection is further emphasized by his disdain for societal expectations and the pressure to be 'better.' The artist's self-awareness is evident as he admits to being a 'deception in person,' someone who has consistently failed in relationships and struggles with emotional expression.

'Apenas 23' also delves into themes of loneliness and mental health. LetoDie describes his life as filled with solitude and emotional numbness, despite having material comforts. The recurring imagery of death and references to figures like Kurt Cobain and Chester Bennington highlight his contemplation of mortality and the shadow of depression that looms over him. The song ends on a note of resignation, with LetoDie choosing not to engage with the world’s problems, as his own inner battles are overwhelming enough.
