Embracing Change: The Volatile Nature of Self
Lucas Inutilismo, also known as LVCAS, delves into the fluid and ever-changing nature of identity in his song 'Volátil.' The lyrics explore the concept of constant transformation, highlighting the idea that who we are is never static. The opening lines reflect on the insanity of how quickly things change, emphasizing that even our most absolute truths can shift over time. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of self-awareness and acceptance of change.
The song's chorus, 'O que me tornei? Ainda não sei,' translates to 'What have I become? I still don't know,' encapsulating the uncertainty and ongoing journey of self-discovery. LVCAS uses metaphors like 'fogo' (fire) and 'gelo' (ice) to illustrate the dualities within himself, suggesting that he embodies both extremes and everything in between. The reference to being 'volátil' (volatile) and a 'metamorfose ambulante' (walking metamorphosis) further underscores the theme of perpetual change, drawing a parallel to the famous Brazilian rock musician Raul Seixas, known for his song 'Metamorfose Ambulante.'
LVCAS also touches on the idea of not being confined by past perceptions or expectations. The line 'Não sou mais aquele seu retrato' (I am no longer that picture of yours) signifies breaking free from static images or labels others may have of him. The song encourages embracing the present moment and the fluidity of life, rather than trying to predict or control the future. The closing lines, 'Um brinde a quem se abre e a alma evolui' (A toast to those who open up and let their soul evolve), celebrate the courage to be open to change and personal growth.
'Volátil' is a powerful anthem for anyone grappling with their evolving identity, urging listeners to accept and even celebrate the constant flux that defines human existence.
