Song Meaning of “Menta” by Mestís
Menta is a story of a despondent person facing a life full of pain and torment. The person hopes for an escape, some kind of solace, but none can be found in the dark and lonely spaces of his life.
The person is desperately in search of clarity and feelings of redemption, but at the same time is stuck in a cycle of suffering. They look for a refuge in someone or something, but nothing will provide the peace and ease they so desperately crave.
The lyrics mix trauma, guilt, and regret, but also hope, trying to find a way out from the darkness. The person pleads for ‘menta’, a feeling of understanding and compassion, to help them through their trauma and break free of the cycle of pain.
Menta symbolizes a call for healing and redemption, but also an ultimate acceptance that only true understanding and compassion can provide. In the end, the song’s theme is that no amount of suffering and pain can take away the possibility of redemption.
