Their mother agreed, and Cibelle moved around from instrument to instrument, trying their hand at the piano, percussion, and voice. As a teenager they were more interested in acting, appearing in commercials and promotional spots on MTV Brazil, but eventually realized that singing was their true passion and started performing at jam sessions around the city. It was at one of these sessions that they met Mitar Subotić (a then-unknown Yugoslavian DJ, Suba), who performed his version of synth-heavy samba for the crowd. Cibelle was intrigued by his interpretation of Brazilian music and, at a friend's urging, got up on-stage to sing with him. Suba was so impressed that he invited them to come to his home recording studio to work on an album, what would later become the seminal São Paulo Confessions. Though the producer died tragically shortly after the record's release, Cibelle continued on, appearing on guitarist and singer/songwriter Celso Fonseca's 2003 album, Natural, and releasing their own self-titled debut album on Six Degrees/Ziriguiboom. They followed up in 2004 with their EP About a Girl, and two years later Shine of Dried Electric Leaves, which featured duets with Seu Jorge and Devendra Banhart, came out.

Train Station
Cibelle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land

Trees pass me by and take away a piece of me
Take me away within, deep down inside of me
Deep down, deep down, inside of me

I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land

It rides through a thousand dreams
Je vois, je vois, je vois le monde
Je regarde tout
Dans la vitesse moi, je suis partout
Je vois
Je regarde le monde
Je regarde tout
Dans la vitesse moi, je suis partout

Deep down
Inside
Of me

Je suis partout

Deep down
Inside

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cibelle's Train Station seem to describe a sense of being lost and directionless, both physically and emotionally. The repeated line "I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land" suggests a lack of purpose or destination, a feeling of being on a journey to nowhere. The repetition of the phrase "over and over again" further emphasizes the repetitiveness and monotony of existence, the feeling of being stuck in a cycle with no end in sight.

The lines "Trees pass me by and take away a piece of me / Take me away within, deep down inside of me" seem to suggest that the passing scenery is a reflection of the character's inner turmoil. The train ride becomes a metaphor for the passage of time, with each passing moment taking a piece of the self away. However, this process also brings the character deeper within themselves, perhaps towards a greater understanding or acceptance of their state of being.

The final lines, "Je vois, je vois, je vois le monde / Je regarde tout / Dans la vitesse moi, je suis partout" suggest a sense of detachment and distance from the world around them. The speed of the train may allow them to observe and witness everything, but they are not an active participant. Overall, the song seems to capture a sense of ennui, a feeling of being adrift in the world.
