De Repente Desperté

In 'De Repente Desperté,' Melendi crafts a poignant narrative that juxtaposes the idealistic dreams of a better world with the harsh realities of contemporary society. The song begins with the artist dreaming of a utopia where war, disease, and inequality do not exist. This dream world is free from political corruption and social injustices, painting a picture of a harmonious and just society. The use of metaphors like 'the politician is made of plasticine' and 'no disaster that a tailor can't fix' emphasizes the malleability and simplicity of problems in this dream world, suggesting that solutions are within reach if only the world were different.

However, the dream is abruptly shattered as Melendi wakes up to the grim reality. The lyrics starkly contrast the dream with real-world events, such as a man committing a heinous act against his children and the powerful manipulating the world for their gain. The imagery of 'the powerful drawing scribbles on paper to wash their hands later' highlights the irresponsibility and detachment of those in power. This awakening is not just a personal realization but a broader commentary on societal issues, including political corruption, social inequality, and the exploitation of the vulnerable.

The song's recurring theme of waking up to a cruel and absurd world underscores a sense of disillusionment and frustration. Melendi questions the nature of reality and dreams, blurring the lines between the two. The final verses reflect a deep sense of helplessness and skepticism about destiny, as the world seems to be controlled by a few pulling the strings. Despite this, the artist finds solace in expressing these thoughts through his music, even if it may not change the world. The song serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of awareness and the struggle for a better world, even in the face of overwhelming adversity.
