Idéias Primais
Defalla Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Idéias primais, invasoras na mente
Antes de explicar porque mata
Brutal todos aos poucos

Eu não serei um daqueles
Com idéias nas mãos
Não tenho um cérebro tão forte

Eu não estou do lado deles
Que têm ânsia de morte
E eu não estou ao lado desses
Que têm ânsia de morte

E adoram e veneram
Idolatram e amam
E amam a morte, a morte

Idéias primais
Idéias primais

Idéias primais
Idéias primais

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Defalla's song "Idéias Primais" discuss the concept of primal ideas invading a person's mind, leading them to commit brutal and violent acts. The songwriter questions the justification for killing and acknowledges that they are not strong enough to hold such intense ideas in their own hands. They distance themselves from those with a thirst for death and emphasize that they do not adore or worship the concept of death like some do.

In essence, the song reflects on the tendency of primitive ideas and impulses to take over one's thoughts and actions, resulting in destructive behavior. The repeated use of the phrase "idéias primais" throughout the song emphasizes the omnipresence and power of these ideas. The lyrics also suggest that it takes strength and resilience to prevent oneself from being consumed by these impulses and beliefs.
