Persona Normal

No Relax's song 'Persona Normal' is a powerful critique of societal norms and the pressure to conform. The lyrics express a sense of alienation from the expectations of being a 'normal' person, which the artist equates with being a 'respectable citizen' who remains silent and criticizes those who are different. This 'normal' person is depicted as someone who blindly respects traditions, even those that involve cruelty, and who is trained to accumulate wealth without questioning the status quo. The song challenges the listener to question these norms and to recognize the manipulation inherent in societal expectations.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the danger of becoming a 'zombie,' a metaphor for living a life devoid of critical thought and genuine emotion. The lyrics suggest that in this 'game' of life, everyone counts, and the idea of being 'different but equal' is used to control people. The song paints a bleak picture of a world where people are buried in a reality where nothing is true, and where shared selfishness and superficial kindness, such as being 'kind at Christmas,' are the norms. This critique extends to the financial system, where people live in debt and are controlled by banks.

The song's final verses offer a glimmer of hope, suggesting that change is possible. The lyrics speak of fighting for victory and the joy of winning, even if it means just tying the game. This victory is seen as a reason to celebrate and take over the city, symbolizing a break from the oppressive norms. The artist concludes by declaring that they are not a 'normal person,' and this declaration is made with tears of happiness, signifying the joy of embracing one's true self and rejecting societal pressures. 'Persona Normal' is a rallying cry for individuality and resistance against conformity, urging listeners to wake up and take control of their lives.
