The Tragic Journey of Guts: A Tale of Loss and Vengeance
M4rkim's song "Guts (Berserk) - Perdi Tudo" delves deep into the harrowing life of Guts, the protagonist of the manga and anime series "Berserk" by Kentaro Miura. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Guts' tumultuous journey, marked by loss, betrayal, and an unyielding quest for vengeance. Born from a corpse, Guts' life is marred by violence and suffering from the very beginning. His relationship with Gambino, who he sees as a father figure, is fraught with pain and betrayal, culminating in Gambino selling Guts for a night, a trauma that haunts him throughout his life.
As Guts grows, he finds a semblance of belonging with the Band of the Hawk, led by Griffith. However, this sense of camaraderie is shattered when Guts realizes that Griffith sees him merely as a tool for his ambitions. The song captures Guts' internal struggle as he grapples with his sense of purpose and the betrayal by someone he considered a friend. The lyrics poignantly describe Guts' realization that he must find his own path, leading to a fateful duel with Griffith and his eventual departure from the Band of the Hawk.
The climax of the song recounts the horrific events of the Eclipse, where Griffith sacrifices his comrades to achieve his dream, transforming into the demonic Femto. Guts is left to witness the brutal assault on Casca, his love, and the massacre of his friends. This traumatic event solidifies Guts' transformation into the Berserk, a man driven by rage and a desire for revenge. The song's refrain, "Hoje emerge o Berserk, Eu já perdi tudo," encapsulates Guts' descent into a life consumed by hatred and vengeance, as he vows to destroy Griffith, now the Falcão, and everything he stands for.
