Thanks for both your reaction and your opinion.. I really love this track from 2nd Agust D's mixtape "D2", it's full of truth and the melody is so coherent with the theme. "STRANGE" - written by RM, Agust D, GHSTLOOP and EL CAPITXN - is a philosophical discussion about what has become ‘normal’ in modern society. Opening with a piano instrumental that then falls into a trap beat, both Agust D and RM make observations on the suffering and polarity seen throughout the world and how abnormal things have been deemed normal. From economic inequality disapproval to war/peace commentary, the song covers the issues both artists find noticeably prominent. The song heavily explores the consequences of late-stage capitalism. As a supply-and-demand system in overdrive, capitalism provides material wealth as an illusion. The song highlights how capitialism constantly anticipates the wants of the consumer before they’re even conscious of it. We are compelled to want things which we don’t need; and we continuing consuming new things in a feedback loop, until we are unaware of what we truly want out of life itself. What is “normal” becomes an utter lack of self awareness, and a society where people lust after trends and abandon their dreams.
