Longa-Metragem
Cachorro Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eu vi seu rosto no cartaz
Até parece um bom rapaz
Mas isso não te satisfaz
Você queria aparecer
E agora o que tu vai fazer?
Não aparece mais no bar
Já tem dinheiro pra gastar
Quando vai passar seu novo longa metragem?
The opening lines of "Longa-Metragem" by Cachorro Grande describe a scenario that is familiar to most people - reading about someone in the news or on a wanted poster who looks like a good person but has done something wrong. The singer seems to have been caught up in some kind of trouble, and despite initial appearances, they are not as innocent as they seemed. The singer asks when this person's new feature-length film will be released, indicating that they were originally a filmmaker or actor who was well known but has disappeared from the public eye since the controversy began.
The second verse suggests that the person in question wanted to be famous and sought out attention. However, now that they've gotten what they wanted, they're nowhere to be found. The lyrics suggest that they have spent the money they made from their film, but have not achieved any lasting success or fame. The repeated refrain of "when will your new feature-length film be released?" highlights the fact that this person's potential and talent have been wasted.
Overall, "Longa-Metragem" seems to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of seeking fame for its own sake, without considering the consequences. The singer's failure to follow through on their potential and make something lasting seems to suggest that true success comes from hard work, dedication, and a commitment to one's craft.
