Os Lo Dije

"Os Lo Dije" by Solitario is a powerful critique of the modern perception of art and the ignorance that often surrounds it. The song delves into the artist's frustration with the subjective nature of art and how it is often misunderstood or misrepresented by those who claim to understand it. Solitario challenges the notion that art is indefinable, arguing that such a belief is a joke and a sign of ignorance. He criticizes those who refuse to accept opposing arguments, suggesting that their years of education have been in vain if they cannot engage in meaningful discourse.

The lyrics also touch on the broader societal issues of ignorance and the lack of critical thinking. Solitario laments the fact that people spend more time on leisure than on intellectual pursuits, leading to a world where stupidity is prevalent. He warns that if this trend continues, art will die within us, and only by exhuming our works can it be revived. The song also addresses the commercialization of art, where magnates disguise their business as a fetish, exploiting the ignorance of the masses for profit.

Solitario's message is clear: the world is heading towards a dystopia if the majority continues to choose ignorance over knowledge. He calls out those who pretend to be intellectuals but are merely making a fool of themselves. The artist emphasizes the importance of genuine knowledge, which cannot be taken away by any force, unlike a mere piece of paper. In the end, Solitario expresses a sense of resignation, acknowledging that he has done what he could to warn others, but ultimately, people will have to face the consequences of their choices.
