The song "Mana" by SB19, written by PABLO, is rich in metaphorical imagery, blending Filipino mythology and modern self-reflection. The lyrics reference the mythical manananggal, a creature in Filipino folklore known for detaching its upper body and flying at night, to explore themes of success, change, and perception. Here’s a breakdown of its deeper meanings and bars: --- 1. The Symbolism of the Manananggal "Manananggal, manananggal, manananggal, mana" The manananggal represents something misunderstood, feared, or mysterious. By likening themselves to the creature, SB19 acknowledges how success or uniqueness can sometimes alienate or intimidate others. "Mana" is a wordplay. It can refer to inheritance or gift, symbolizing their talent and success, which they believe is a blessing despite being doubted by others. --- 2. Recognition and Validation "Hindi ba mahiwaga? 'Di mo kilala no'ng nasa lupa pa" This line highlights how people only started noticing them after their success. When they were still "on the ground" (struggling or less known), they were ignored. The shift to "nasa alapaap na" (now in the clouds/heavens) refers to their rise in status and recognition. "Ngayong nasa alapaap na, giit ako ay nagbago na" This reflects the criticism successful people often face-that fame has changed them. The artists question why others now perceive them differently. --- 3. Resilience and Detachment "Nah, I'd rather half my body go missing, oh, yeah" This clever reference to the manananggal emphasizes their preference for detachment from negativity or superficial expectations. They're willing to "detach" themselves from unnecessary burdens to rise above. "Sa 'kin ay hindi problema, kung 'di niyo pa rin nakikita" They assert their confidence, stating that whether or not others recognize their worth, it doesn’t diminish the value of their talent or achievements. --- 4. Critique of Society "Madaya ba'ng mundo? Kung gano'n na nga, heto, babaguhin ko" The world can be unfair, but rather than succumbing to negativity, they vow to change it, embodying hope and determination. "Aswang ba kaya kinakatakutan? Bibig mo ay itikom mo na lang" The fear of the unknown (like the mythical aswang) parallels how people fear or criticize what they don’t understand. This line challenges detractors to keep their negativity to themselves. --- 5. Elevation and Confidence "I'll go turbo, turning on the nitro" This line speaks to their relentless ambition and drive, likened to a high-speed engine powering their ascent. "Zoom, papalayo, 'di na hihinto" This reflects their trajectory of success, distancing themselves from detractors and negativity. --- 6. Unity of Heaven and Earth "Langit, lupa, magsasama, basta ba maniwala" The merging of "langit" (heaven) and "lupa" (earth) symbolizes the reconciliation of dreams and reality, achievable through faith and perseverance. --- 7. Call to Action "Pasensiya ko'y 'wag mong subukan" This line is a warning to critics and doubters. It portrays their readiness to defend themselves against disrespect or misunderstanding. "Sige lang, sige, sige, 'wag lang kakatulugan" A call to stay alert and engaged, urging listeners not to underestimate their journey or growth. --- Conclusion MANA is not a short word for mananaggal. Its a dramatic twist of wordplay, Pablo transforms "MANA" from a mere abbreviation for "manananggal" into a profound concept. Rather than a literal reference to the mythical creature, "MANA" which means inheritance and receiving blessings. Pablo adds an extraordinary layer to the song "MANA" by connecting it to the mythical creature "MANANANGGAL." This symbolism reflects their commitment to staying grounded despite their rise to popularity, akin to the creature's lower body. They share this groundedness as an inheritance with their fans, fostering a powerful and lasting connection. The upper body of the manananggal symbolizes their prowess as "LIVE MONSTERS" in their singing, akin to being powerful and mighty, capable of conquering various stages. Yet, they remain grounded due to the lower body, signifying humility and rootedness amidst success.
