Sempre Bem
Capitão Fausto Lyrics

The lyrics of Capitão Fausto's song "Sempre Bem" delve into themes of dealing with emotions, loneliness, and the struggle to maintain a facade of well-being. The singer expresses a sense of detachment and a desire to escape reality by doubling time and going out with anyone without having to explain themselves. They talk about burying their sadness in a deep hole, deciding where to bury it, and indulging in distractions and superficial interactions to avoid confronting their true feelings.

The singer mentions spending time with friends, engaging in playful activities, and using humor as a coping mechanism. Despite acknowledging the presence of their hidden sadness, they compare their struggles to those of others and find solace in the fact that their siblings will always be there for them. The repetition of "eu não me posso queixar" (I cannot complain) reflects a sense of resignation and acceptance of their circumstances, no matter how difficult they may be.

There is a poignant moment where the singer describes having people around the table singing a song about their weakness and the pain in their heart. They question whether they will ever find certainty or if tomorrow will bring more contradictions. This uncertainty leads them to accept defeat and resort to cheating in life's game, uncertain of whether they will return to the same place of sadness or if they will continue to lament their situation.

The chorus repeats the sentiment that there are people who are going through worse times, serving as a reminder to be grateful for what one has. The singer acknowledges the support of their siblings and the resilience they find in their familial bond. The repetition of phrases like "nunca vai arrancar" (will never be uprooted) emphasizes the strength drawn from this connection. The song concludes with a realization that one cannot always be well, highlighting the inevitability of facing and accepting one's emotional struggles rather than constantly seeking escapism. The repeated refrain "Eu não me posso mais" (I cannot anymore) encapsulates a sense of exhaustion and resignation, underscoring the complexity of emotional turmoil and the challenges of pretending to always be okay.
