Dói (feat. NIKITO)

Link do Zap's song 'Dói (feat. NIKITO)' delves deep into the emotional and psychological struggles that come with fame and personal battles. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's internal conflict, where the allure of success and the pressures of the music industry clash with personal demons and mental health issues. The opening lines set the tone, with the artist feeling a mix of power and discomfort, likening himself to 'Super Choque' and expressing a sense of obsessive-compulsive disorder (TOC). This duality of feeling both empowered and trapped is a recurring theme throughout the song.

The song critiques the superficiality of the music industry, particularly the trend of creating music solely for social media virality, as seen in the line 'Trappers não falam o que sentem, só fazem som pra hitar no TikTok.' This highlights a sense of disillusionment with the industry's focus on trends over genuine expression. The artist's struggle with fame is further emphasized by his admission that he never sought it and his constant need to numb his pain through smoking. The reference to 'Kick Buttowski' and 'Mitski' adds a layer of cultural context, blending elements of pop culture with personal anecdotes.

The chorus, repeating 'Dói, dói, dói, dói, dói,' underscores the persistent pain and emotional turmoil the artist experiences. The lyrics also touch on themes of isolation and the desire for a fresh start, as seen in the lines 'Me sinto Restart dessa geração, Tô precisando de Recomeçar.' The song's narrative is a raw and unfiltered look into the artist's mind, where the highs of success are overshadowed by the lows of personal struggles. The closing lines reflect a sense of resignation and acceptance of his reality, encapsulating the song's essence of pain and perseverance.
