Preconceito

Via Negromonte's song 'Preconceito' delves deep into the pervasive and destructive nature of prejudice. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where societal norms and conventions often stifle true love and personal freedom. The opening lines, 'Passa o vendaval / Muda a pele da estação,' suggest a world in constant flux, yet some things, like 'louco ciúme' (crazy jealousy), remain stubbornly unchanged. This sets the stage for a narrative that challenges the status quo and calls for liberation from societal constraints.

The song's chorus, 'Preconceito! / Não faz bem a ninguém,' is a powerful denunciation of prejudice. It highlights how prejudice not only harms individuals but also upholds power structures that decide what is considered 'normal.' The repetition of 'Preconceito!' serves as a rallying cry against the injustices perpetuated by these societal norms. The lyrics 'Quem elege / Seres que decidem o que é normal' question who has the authority to define normalcy, emphasizing the arbitrary and harmful nature of such judgments.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of surveillance and control, as seen in lines like 'No entanto, o teu olhar me acompanha / Onde quer que eu vá parar.' This suggests a lack of true freedom, as the protagonist feels constantly watched and judged. The desire for liberation is palpable, with the lyrics 'Tem missão de ser um só / Libertar' underscoring the need for unity and freedom from prejudice. Via Negromonte's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery make 'Preconceito' a compelling call to action against the societal chains that bind us.
