AVANT

The song 'AVANT' by ZOO Posse, a band known for their lyrics in Catalan and their blend of hip-hop with other genres, delves into themes of societal disillusionment and the struggle against conformity. The lyrics paint a picture of individuals who have become passive, symbolized by a man rusting away on a sofa, and a society that has lost its ability to love and communicate effectively. The imagery of a 'patriot of loneliness' and a 'prophet of defeat' suggests a critique of the isolation and defeatism that can pervade modern life.

The chorus of the song, with its repeated lines about the 'mollera' (head or mind) being poisoned and the loss of the ability to love, reflects a deep frustration with the state of the world. The band criticizes the blind patriotism and the superficiality that can distract people from more meaningful human connections and values. The reference to the flag being so large that it tires the eyes suggests that nationalistic fervor can overshadow more important issues.

Despite the bleak outlook, the song carries a message of resilience and defiance. The lyrics 'Les nostres sempre estaran' (Ours will always be there) and 'Sempre a la contra i avant!' (Always against and forward!) serve as a rallying cry for those who resist and persist despite the challenges. The song calls for a recognition of the marginalized and a rejection of the status quo, urging listeners to move forward with a rebellious spirit.
