“Déjà Vu” is Pitty’s bold declaration of independence. Throughout the lyrics, she lists everything that fails to sway her: religious doctrines, logical arguments, television programs and even boredom itself. None of these outside forces bite deep enough to leave a mark. Instead, her real spark of life comes from something as simple as a rain shower, when water splashes over her skin and reminds her she is unmistakably alive. The chorus feels like a refreshing gasp of air, celebrating that raw sensation of existence that no philosophy can reproduce.
Yet beneath this confident surface lives a quieter reflection. She admits that her soul got lost “somewhere on a street corner” long ago, but she is in no rush to find it. This lack of urgency turns the song’s title—déjà vu—into a wink: she has likely felt this strange mix of detachment and vitality before, and she might feel it again. The message? When outside answers fall flat, embrace the present moment, dance in the rain and let life itself be your proof that you are here.
