Alegorias e Adereços

In 'Adereços e Alegorias,' VND delves into the complexities of self-worth, societal expectations, and the superficiality of material possessions. The song opens with a poignant question, 'Por que me quer tão bem agora?' (Why do you want me so well now?), setting the tone for a narrative that questions the authenticity of affection and support when one is at their lowest. VND's lyrics reflect a struggle with self-reliance and the skepticism of external help, emphasizing a journey of self-healing and resilience.

The song's core metaphor revolves around 'alegorias e adereços' (allegories and adornments), representing the superficial layers that society often values. VND strips away these layers, questioning if love and support would still exist without the trappings of wealth and status. The imagery of a 'corpo negro enjaulado' (caged black body) without luxury items highlights the systemic oppression and the dehumanizing effects of materialism. The artist challenges the listener to consider the true value of a person beyond their possessions and societal status.

VND's lyrics also touch on themes of survival and resilience. He speaks of enduring hardships, 'Andei quebrado, sobrevivi' (I walked broken, I survived), and questions the sudden change in perception from others. The song critiques the performative nature of support and the conditional love that is often tied to one's success or failure. By dismantling the 'adereços' (adornments), VND reveals the raw, unfiltered reality of his experiences, urging listeners to look beyond the surface and recognize the inherent worth of every individual.

'Adereços e Alegorias' is a powerful commentary on the superficiality of societal values and the importance of self-worth and resilience. VND's introspective lyrics and evocative metaphors invite listeners to reflect on their perceptions of value and the authenticity of their support for others.
