Berserk Caipira

The song 'Berserk Caipira' by Link do Zap is a raw and intense portrayal of the artist's personal experiences, emotions, and cultural references. The title itself is a play on words, combining 'Berserk,' a term that can refer to a state of violent or destructive rage, often associated with the manga series of the same name, and 'Caipira,' a Brazilian term for someone from the countryside, suggesting a fusion of aggressive energy with rural roots.

The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors. The mention of a 'Pingentão Behelit escarlate' directly references the 'Behelit' from the manga 'Berserk,' symbolizing fate and transformation. This, along with the red moon, suggests a theme of creating one's destiny, even if it means leaving a mark on others, as indicated by the line about leaving a mark on someone's neck. The artist expresses a sense of ownership and control over their life and art. The song also touches on themes of fame, substance use, and relationships, with lines that speak to the transient nature of love and the use of others as a means of escape, akin to drug use.

The song's raw energy and explicit language convey a sense of rebellion and nonconformity. Link do Zap rejects traditional rock ('Rock é o caralho') and the glorification of past music icons ('Amam uns velho tocando guitarra'), positioning themselves as a new, defiant voice in the music scene. The lyrics also reflect a struggle with identity and societal expectations, as the artist feels misunderstood and at odds with the world ('Todos contra mim, acho que eu sou um perigo').
