Olhos Abertos

Rodox's song 'Olhos Abertos' delves into themes of awareness, deception, and liberation. The lyrics begin with a powerful image of a mask falling, symbolizing the revelation of true identities and hidden intentions. The protagonist takes control, grabbing the microphone compulsively, unable to stop speaking the truth. This act of unmasking is not just a personal revelation but a broader commentary on societal deception and the importance of seeing through falsehoods.

The song's chorus emphasizes the unforgiving nature of those who deceive and manipulate. The lines 'Quem te roubou a mente / Quem que engana a gente não / Não tem perdão' (Who stole your mind / Who deceives us / Has no forgiveness) highlight the betrayal felt by those who have been misled. The use of the word 'parasite' to describe the deceiver underscores the destructive and parasitic nature of such individuals, feeding off the ignorance and trust of others.

Rodox also touches on the theme of liberation and empowerment. The lyrics 'Ter olhos abertos é malandragem / Quem enxerga em terra de cegos / Está em vantagem' (Having open eyes is cunning / Those who see in the land of the blind / Are at an advantage) suggest that awareness and vigilance are powerful tools. The song encourages listeners to rise and take action against oppressive systems, symbolized by the breaking of chains and the rejection of imposed laws. Ultimately, 'Olhos Abertos' is a call to awaken, recognize deception, and reclaim one's power and autonomy.
