Homo Erectus Plus
Cidade Dormitório Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Estou em perigo, uma cobra me mordeu e sua cauda me enroscou
Fui no inferninho e o diabo me contou que mais anjo nasceu
Fim de período, oito laudas e pressão, quatro filtros de papel.
[O primitivo o “quê” de poesia destruiria esse sorriso que prefacia e disfarça o monstro pós
moderno sem cara que te estrangula e te submete à burocracia do narciso.
Entre jogos de azar e o desenterrar de corpos políticos: Lacerda, Sarney, Serra.
pochete uma tesoura que conota a marcialidade na produção da própria justiça, nas minhas
mãos a caneta que ele me deu. Mas, seria através dela, canalizar o delírio, decantar do
tempo e sofrimento magias que já não encantam.]
lllucas:
As cortinas não escondem mais os tons amargos
e essa freak toda pra eu tentar me proteger
as cortinas não escondem mais os tons amargos e essa freak fere
essa fera freak fere freak…
essa fera freak fere…
essa freak fere.
The lyrics of "Homo Erectus Plus" by Cidade Dormitório are poetic and open to interpretation. The song seems to convey a sense of feeling like trash and being in danger. The opening line suggests that the singer had a premonition of becoming the garbage they now feel like. It could be interpreted as feeling worthless or insignificant in some way.
The line about being bitten by a snake and its tail wrapping around them adds to the feeling of being trapped or suffocated. It could symbolize a negative influence or situation that has taken hold of the singer's life. The reference to the devil and an angel being born could represent the conflicting forces within oneself, or perhaps the singer's struggle with temptation and morality.
The mention of a period ending, eight pages, pressure, and four paper filters could indicate a time of stress or deadline approaching. This could be interpreted as the singer feeling overwhelmed, with various tasks or responsibilities weighing them down. It may also suggest a desire to escape or find relief from these pressures.
The following section, which seems to be a spoken word or poetic interlude, is more abstract and open to interpretation. It references the primitive nature of poetry and its potential to destroy the fake smiles that hide a modern monster. The phrase "the bureaucracy of narcissus" could be seen as a critique of self-centeredness and the superficiality of modern society.
The mention of gambling games and exhuming political figures like Lacerda, Sarney, and Serra could suggest a commentary on political corruption and manipulation. The mention of their respective decompositions and sadistic antics may criticize their actions or the decay of moral integrity in politics.
The final part, with the repeated lines about curtains no longer hiding the bitter tones and the mention of a freak who hurts and wounds, is open to interpretation. It could be seen as a metaphor for the singer's inner struggles or a reflection on how illusions can no longer protect them from harsh realities. The repetition emphasizes the intensity of this revelation, and the mention of a "fera" (beast) could symbolize the darker aspects of the self or external oppressive forces.
Overall, the lyrics of "Homo Erectus Plus" suggest a complex emotional state, with themes of feeling worthless, trapped, and overwhelmed, as well as reflections on societal issues and personal struggles. The abstract and poetic nature of the lyrics invites multiple interpretations and allows listeners to connect with the emotions and themes in their own unique ways.
