"Normal" by Eddy De Pretto is a song about embracing one's true self and challenging societal norms and expectations. The lyrics question the judgment and assumptions made by others, particularly in regard to sexuality and gender expression. The song begins with the narrator questioning if they are responsible for how they are perceived and if others see them as different from the rest. They express frustration towards someone who believes they are superior and observably virtuous. The narrator asserts their own authenticity and refutes the accusations thrown at them. The lyrics then address the act of trying to undermine and attack the narrator through derogatory remarks and attempts to diminish their identity. However, the narrator challenges the individual, suggesting that their attempts to harm them will not succeed. The song takes a turn as the narrator shifts the focus to themselves and acknowledges that they may have made mistakes by not using caution and gentleness in their actions. They express their desire for the other person to understand that they wear makeup to make an impact and not to conform to expectations. The lyrics then emphasize the narrator's normality and simplicity, countering the idea that they are abnormal or sick. They dismiss insults, encourage the other person to move on, and suggest that they are the ones causing chaos. In the later part of the song, the lyrics touch upon the various ways people cope with their true selves and urges the listener to forge their own path and not be bothered by the judgments of others. Overall, "Normal" is a powerful anthem urging individuals to embrace their true selves and defy societal pressures and expectations. The song celebrates uniqueness and challenges narrow definitions of normality.
