Lameira
Capitão Fausto Lyrics

The lyrics of Capitão Fausto's song "Lameira" speak about the concept of moving on suddenly instead of dragging on in a situation that needs to be restored. The singer seems to be addressing someone who prefers to stay in a familiar yet decaying environment rather than take a risk and move towards a new one. The phrase "Partir de repente é melhor que se arrastar" (Leaving suddenly is better than dragging on) is repeated twice, emphasizing the importance of taking action without hesitation. The second verse speaks about the consequences of staying in a situation where restoration is needed. The phrase "Cada um no seu caixão" (Everyone in his own coffin) suggests that the person's fate will be sealed should they refuse to leave their decaying surroundings.

The final lines of the song "Quando o país rebentar, Eu vou cá estar para ver, O país rebentar" (When the country explodes, I'll be here to see, the country explode) add to the message of the song. It suggests that if the country, in this case, the metaphorical environment, needs to be restored and nothing is done, then it will eventually fall apart. The singer seems to be urging the person in question to take action and not wait until it's too late.
