WE ARE TRYING- OVIAS

This song is a raw, emotional reflection on the unemployment crisis and the cycle of poverty that many young people face today, specifically within the context of Southern Africa (South Africa and Namibia). It contrasts the "hustle" culture with the harsh reality that hard work doesn't always lead to immediate success. Here is a breakdown of the core themes: 1. The Exhaustion of "Trying" The title and hook (Siyazama/Ohatu Kendabala) mean "We are trying." The song highlights that the problem isn't laziness. The characters in the song are waking up early, walking long distances, and sending out CVs. The "suffering" comes from the mental and physical exhaustion of giving your best effort every day and receiving "lutho" (nothing) in return. 2. The "Wasted" Education The lyrics mention a "Degree isekhabetheni" (Degree in the cupboard). This points to a specific modern pain: the frustration of studying hard and earning a qualification, only to have it sit unused because there are no vacancies. It touches on the loss of dignity when a person is qualified but still cannot provide for themselves. 3. Family Pressure and Guilt The Oshiwambo verse mentions "Meme ote tsele" (Mother is crying/suffering). In many African households, a child getting an education is seen as the "beacon of hope" for the family. When that child can't find a job, the pain isn't just personal—it’s the guil Worn-out shoes: Symbolizing the miles walked looking for work. Sleeping hungry: The literal reality of "Ondjala" (hunger). The "Line": The feeling of being stuck in a permanent waiting list for a better life while time passes you by. 5. Spiritual Questioning Towards the end, the song becomes a prayer ("Kalunga kwatha ndje"—God help me). It’s a plea for a breakthrough. It captures that moment of "Black Tax" and social pressure where faith is the only thing left when the economy fails you. Summary of the Vibe While the Amapiano beat is usually for dancing, this specific style (often called "Soulful" or "Private School" Piano) uses the heavy bass to represent the "heavy heart" of the youth. It’s a song of lament—a way to dance through the pain because there is nothing else left to do.
