Cidadão Instigado Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

e-e eu vou no de coca comprar
um óculos infra-estelar
só pra não ter mais que ouvir os terráqueos daqui
tantando
je-e-i-ri coa coa coa-ra-ra
o céu na terra e o mar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cidadão Instigado's song A Radiação na Terra are quite intriguing and open to interpretation. However, one possible interpretation is that the singer is tired of listening to the negative and mundane chatter of humans on Earth and wants to escape into another world. The line "e-e eu vou no de coca comprar" suggests that the singer is going to a store to buy something (possibly drugs), while "um óculos infra-estelar" could refer to a pair of glasses that allow one to see beyond the visible spectrum of light. This could imply that the singer wants to escape from this world and see things that humans cannot see.
