A Caçada
Carne Doce Lyrics

The lyrics to "A Caçada" by Carne Doce are about being hunted, both metaphorically and literally. The singer begins by saying they were on the outside looking in before becoming the target. They then get lost in the hunt and become part of it themselves. The singer sees themselves as nothing more than a rag or a parody of themselves. This seemingly helpless feeling is reinforced by the repeated phrase "na mira" (in the crosshairs), which suggests the singer is being targeted by someone or something.

As the song progresses, the imagery becomes more violent and bleak. The repeated phrases of "habita" (inhabits) and "crua" (raw/cruel) suggest that whatever is hunting the singer is something vicious and animalistic. The final lines, which mention a blade, a sheath, an arrow, a cut, and an open door, add to this ominous tone as the hunt becomes more tangible.

Overall, "A Caçada" is a deeply introspective and metaphorical song about feeling trapped and helpless, whether that be by circumstances, an outside entity, or one's own mind. The vivid use of language and imagery makes the feelings conveyed in the song all the more palpable.
