Emerging from the Depths: A Journey of Self-Rediscovery in 'Submersa' by Pitty
In 'Submersa,' Pitty delves into the depths of self-discovery and the struggle to reclaim one's identity amidst chaos and confusion. The song opens with a sense of disorientation, as the narrator feels lost within the confines of their own home, symbolizing a broader existential crisis. The imagery of being scattered in pieces across the rooms suggests a fragmented sense of self, unable to find a way back to wholeness. This feeling of being lost is further emphasized by the lines 'Procurei em cada canto / Dessa mente e coração,' indicating a desperate search within one's mind and heart for clarity and direction.
As the song progresses, Pitty introduces the concept of an unchosen and unlearned ritual, representing the uncontrollable and often incomprehensible nature of life's events. Despite this, there is a turning point where the narrator decides to take action, symbolized by the act of grabbing a hat, umbrella, and smile from the hall. This preparation for the unknown signifies a readiness to face whatever life throws their way, whether it be karma, fate, or random chance. The repeated phrase 'Pode tudo vir, que estou preparada' reinforces this newfound resilience and determination.
The chorus serves as a powerful mantra, urging both the narrator and the listener to break free from the state of being 'submersa' or submerged. This call to action is a reminder not to remain trapped in a place of stagnation and despair. The repetition of 'Sai daí / Desse lugar / Não se deixe ficar / Submersa assim' acts as a motivational push to rise above the circumstances and reclaim one's sense of self and purpose. Through 'Submersa,' Pitty masterfully captures the struggle and triumph of emerging from the depths of confusion and finding strength in the face of life's unpredictability.
