Hip-hop artist Miyagi in July 2018 impressed fans with the lyrical composition Captain. Those who know the style of the musician noticed that the track is saturated with sadness, and soul and deep meaning are invested in each line. What did Miyagi encrypt in his hit, which lines did he dedicate to his son, and which to his fans?

The meaning of the song “Captain” Miyagi

The general public is aware of the sad event in the rapper’s family that happened in September 2017. The son of Azamat Kudzaev left untimely, which forced the latter to keep nine months of silence. As a result of this, the composition Captain appeared. We warn against the conclusion that this is a requiem for a son. Digging deeper, you will realize that the song is not even dedicated to him. She is inextricably linked with the baby and would not have been born if that unfortunate story had not happened. Miyagi expressed his message to his son in the track “Son”. Captain – a conversation with fans and haters. First he reveals his feelings, and the second he points to the door.

Deciphering the text “Captain”

The chorus, in addition to its main function, plays the role of an introduction. It contains a key message. A small hexastich is an extract of the entire composition.

For his admirers, the author tells that he lost himself, he does not need handouts and even help. For those who will be disappointed by the lyrical notes of the talented Ossetian’s creativity, he asks “why isn’t it a fountain?”.

Many are accustomed to driving motives and do not accept excessive soulfulness in the work of the duet. For such people, the artist has a clear message: “forget my name, forget me.”

There was also a mention of haters in the text, who: “This is a windbag – they spoke out of spite.” This means the lack of deep meaning in his hits. Azamat proved the opposite to these characters.

Otherwise, the Captain’s lines clearly show the state of mind of the heartbroken father. He reproaches himself for mistakes and shortcomings: “I hate myself, but I live every day, I’m only clouds, but a shadow …”, “I promised myself not to forget who I live for, but I’m scum and asshole, and foul, I didn’t keep it … “. These are the words of a man biting his elbows out of hopelessness. Self-flagellation generated by a heavy life blow. Azamat shared this with the audience.

The second verse is no longer an outpouring, but a story about the realities of today, surrounding a person who needs to live on. “Tesla turned the world upside down, kuralesim, you sing, as if God sang …”, “And this is the alignment: either you, or stop …”, “In return, I threw lines …”. It’s about getting up and going. Miyagi is like Tesla, but in his field, he must create. If the singer refuses this, life will end for him too.

The line “Kind, but evil protects” is interesting. It is about God, who in his kindness protects people, but with inexplicable anger takes away the most precious thing.

A more fundamental analysis of the text of this masterpiece will spoil its emotional component. Subjecting the Captain to an overly subjective assessment would be criminal in relation to art.
