Kafé

Plastique Noir's song 'Kafé' is a rebellious anthem that juxtaposes the desire for caffeine against the controversial drug cloroquina. The repetition of 'Quero cafeína, não quero cloroquina' (I want caffeine, I don't want chloroquine) serves as a powerful statement against the use of cloroquina, a drug that gained notoriety during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lyrics suggest a preference for the stimulating effects of caffeine over the dubious and politically charged cloroquina, highlighting a sense of distrust in the system and its solutions.

The song also delves into the subculture of goths, challenging stereotypes and asserting a unique identity. The lines 'Se você acha que gótico só pode beber vinho, larga mão de ser menino' (If you think goths can only drink wine, stop being childish) and 'Dark que é dark bebe mesmo é café, que até preto é' (A true goth drinks coffee, which is even black) emphasize that true goths prefer coffee, a drink that aligns with their dark aesthetic. This assertion of identity through the choice of beverage is both humorous and defiant, reinforcing the goth community's distinctiveness and resistance to mainstream expectations.

The song's critique of societal norms and the system is further underscored by the lines 'O sistema me deixa nervoso' (The system makes me nervous) and 'Playboy de merda não tem sangue no olho' (Rich kids don't have the guts). These lyrics express frustration with societal structures and the privileged class, suggesting that true resilience and strength come from those who face real struggles. The repeated demand for caffeine over cloroquina becomes a metaphor for seeking genuine, reliable sources of energy and strength in a world filled with questionable solutions and superficiality.
