Anatomy of Power

Abismo Cavado e Medicado

Discover the person give them power
Watch how their face changes in the mirror
What was dormant begins to grow
And what was humble becomes a nightmare

Power doesn't reside in the throne it resides in the norm
In the gaze that watches without anyone noticing
In the rule that everyone follows that no one explains
Where it came from but everyone obeys

Give someone a position a uniform a title
And watch what was once a friend become a stranger
Power doesn't corrupt it reveals the individual
Who was already there waiting arrogant

It's not the king who controls it's the structure
That turns everyone into a watchdog over one another
The prison has no bars it has culture
It has discourse it has truth it has ours

Anatomy of power everything it touches changes
Anatomy of power whoever watches becomes addicted
The person who obeys also contributes
The system that makes him bow his head and give in

Money combined with power is the perfect poison
Not because it corrupts the weak the strong fall too
Because power creates the fiction of a right
To decide for others and no one else

Surveillance doesn't need to be a camera
All it takes is the fear of being seen of being judged
We internalize the bars the voice the anchor
And become our own watchman

It's not the king who controls it's the structure
That makes each of us a watchman over the other
The prison has no bars it has culture
It has discourse it has truth it has ours

Anatomy of power everything it touches changes
Anatomy of power whoever watches becomes addicted
The person who obeys also produces
The structure that makes them bow their head and give in

Watch
Watch
Watch

You watch you are watched
Power belongs to no one
It's the network it's the relationship it's the game
And you play even without knowing it

Resistance is also power
But it starts by seeing what shapes you
Who are you before you obey?
Before the norm before the reform?

Anatomy of power everything it touches changes
Anatomy of power whoever watches becomes addicted
The person who obeys also produces
The structure that makes them bow their head and give in

Who's watching?
Who's watching?
Who's watching?
