Song meaning of 17.12.20 by X-Tense

Ahem, let's take a dive into the deep, philosophical lyrics of "17.12.20" by X-Tense, shall we? Now, this song starts off with our protagonist observing people demanding masks and social distancing from those who have been living a "mask's distance" away from society. It's like watching someone with wings testing the durability of cement. And then we have the devil saying, "Dream less!" because God is silent, and Picasso is telling us to study instead of being, well, Picasso. It's basically accepting our fate and realizing that releasing CDs and merchandising can be downright offensive. Especially when some of these artists are parents, making it so easy to say, "Oh, the hardships." It's not about complaining, it's about the basics, and it's not unlimited. And nobody, I repeat, NOBODY is finding likes on the food pyramid. Oh, and if you're wondering why our protagonist's not crying, it's not because they have a good memory, it's just some voodoo luck, my friend. They say it's strange to say that their luck lies in being single and childless, but hey, it's their truth. And here comes the real kicker, they're not waiting for a vaccine for their destiny to keep going, no sir. They don't care about money or releasing their single. They're just semi-grateful to China, but wait, no, they didn't say that, they take it back. "You're being selfish! That makes you ignorant!" But hey, it's just how they feel, man. They're doing all this for someone, but it's like someone telling them to take a breath for a moment. Blind and turned inside out, this virus is like a bat, or is it politics? In the end, it's all about who laughs the hardest. Our life is like that of a CEO, luckily they only lost money, not feeling like a victim or anything. And finally, they have reasons to breathe. They've climbed the hill, man! The view is vertigo-inducing, like ants crawling beneath them. Life has humiliated them and made them a lemon magnet, feeding them corn and giving them love in millions. But no matter how much they share how shitty things have been, they don't think it's possible to paint with truth without getting their privacy fucked, their raw emotions exposed. And if they were to be sanctified, they'd prefer an honest devil. Yep, those are their old footprints, my friend, but their shoes are still on, stones included. You see them dancing with a wounded foot, and it's even more beautiful. They don't even know if it's a shoe or skates because they've stepped on so much shit. Damn! Oh, here we go! Those fools think they all dream the same dream and want to be Veloso. They think our protagonist aspires to have multiple gold hits. But guess what? They don't give a fuck! They've had their songs waiting at the record label for a year, and they have nothing against their trap counterparts with their ad-libs. It all resonates with them because they're reckless. It's like amnesia, everyone forgets, and X-Tense starts all over again. Don't ask for clarification because attention was never the intention. They see beauty in difference, but the interest was always Vendetta (oops, my bad). They remember stepping on Sudas with the attitude that it's all theirs. But man, how did they end up with their ass here? Confusing, right? Well, their karma isn't a star, and their corpse isn't wax. They're like a gypsy listening to applause but not knowing how to read it. "Until RAP loads and REC doesn't," success is their tranquility. They live in a desuccessful world. The time will come when the punchline is completed, and they'll just throw it away one day. Screw fame, man! It's about to go down!

And hey, no offense if you dream about all this. No offense if you're putting in the effort for them. But, no offense, in the end, it doesn't really matter, right? They're just here to fuck shit up all over again because... well, why not? Our dear X-Tense, in his skit, ponders about his complicated nature as a human being. He talks about his cool connection with music but admits that he doesn't have the best connection with the outside world. And the industry? The exposure? Yeah, it's not his thing, man. He's not someone who talks to just anyone. Trust is key. He won't say what works best in this room because people might think he said something offensive. He's just sharing his opinion, you know? When he starts to get close to the masses, it's something he had to learn. And he's learned a lot, but it's not natural for him. And that's what made him dance so much with music. It's starting to hit him, so he's gonna bounce. Ahh, life!
