Pela Paz - Deku Dark (Boku no Hero)

In 'Pela Paz - Deku Dark (Boku no Hero),' Novatroop delves into the complex emotions and sacrifices of a hero who has embraced darkness as a means to achieve peace. The song's protagonist reflects on a world that no longer recognizes peace, a sentiment that resonates deeply with the character of Deku from the anime 'Boku no Hero Academia.' The lyrics convey a sense of disillusionment and sorrow, as the hero laments the loss of peace and the necessity of embracing darkness to protect others.

The protagonist's decision to embrace darkness is portrayed as a conscious choice, made with full awareness of the consequences. This decision is not driven by a desire for power or recognition but by a deep-seated need to prevent further harm. The hero's willingness to sacrifice their own happiness and light, symbolized by hiding their smile behind a mask and becoming more somber, underscores the depth of their commitment to peace. The lyrics highlight the internal struggle and pain of this choice, as the hero grapples with the loss of their former self and the weight of their actions.

The song also touches on the duality of heroism, acknowledging that even heroes have moments of darkness and impulsive actions driven by their emotions. Despite these flaws, the hero's ultimate goal remains the same: to protect and bring peace to others. The repeated refrain of 'Só de saber que o que eu fiz foi por vocês' ('Just knowing that what I did was for you') serves as a powerful reminder of the hero's selfless motivations. The hope for a future where their sacrifices are remembered as a means to an end, rather than a reflection of their darker moments, encapsulates the essence of the song's message.
