Em meio as monótonas vozes monotemáticas e repetitivas do mundo pop atual, às vezes, uma voz profética consegue se sobressair. Esta é mais uma daquelas canções que ouvi por acaso e para qual eu não deu o valor merecido no primeiro momento. É preciso prestar atenção na letra e perceber uma crítica ao status quo do mundo musical atual (uma canção destas escancarando as verdades do funk carioca e do sertanejo não nos cairia mal).
Royals da Lorde, uma garota neozelandesa que
tinha apenas 16 anos, estourou no mundo com uma crítica bem realista a este
excesso de nosense que invadiu a música pop. Louvando e engradecendo um estilo
de vida totalmente inacessível para a maioria das pessoas e insustentável seja
qual for o modelo econômico adotado no mundo, o pop se tornou um desfile de
excentricidades e paranoias, uma repetição incansável de superficialidades. E
assim destruiremos aquilo que nos torna humanos: a capacidade de criar. Royals expõe
tudo isso ao colocar o dedo na ferida aberta da imbecilidade fabricada em nome
do hedonismo e do lucro.
Esta neozelandesa que se autointitula Lorde (seu
nome de batismo é Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor), me chocou com a força e a
forma com que deixou em Royals a marca de sua indiginação. Creio que muitos
compartilham deste mesmo sentimento, num mundo de superficialidades, é
importante compreender o que se passa ao nosso redor. Seria muito mais útil
para a humanidade se estivéssemos enaltecendo os bons exemplos que estão todos
os dias a nossa volta do que registrando nossa admiração por uma vida de ostentação
e superficialidades mesquinhas. É preciso aceitar que não faremos do mundo um lugar melhor submetendo-nos a este lixo comercial que só glorifica a imbecilidade.

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address
In the torn up town
No post code envy
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose
Trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns
Trashin' the hotel room
We don't care
We're driving cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like cristal, maybach
Diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care
We aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler
You can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
My friends and I, we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows
That we're fine with this
We didn't come from money
But every song's like gold teeth grey goose
Trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns
Trashin' the hotel room
We don't care
We're driving cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like cristal, maybach
Diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care
We aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler
You can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
Ooh ooh oh
Ooh ooh oh
Ooh ooh oh
We're bigger than we ever dreamed
And I'm in love with being queen
Ooh ooh oh
Ooh ooh oh
Ooh ooh oh
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler
You can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
