Tempo
Felipe valente Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

O anseio do mistério sem nome
Ter o eterno e sentir sua ausência
Lança-nos ao dissabor da falência
Paradoxo brutal que a fé consome
O que nos prende a tal absurda fome?
A distorção da natural essência
Do tempo vítima, sem existência
Serve ao desejo sem ter quem o dome
Mas a graça, única do cordeiro
que a altivez humana ao pó reduz
uniu-nos com tempo verdadeiro
Pois antes mesmo da formação da luz




À salvar do destino derradeiro
Fez-se o brado: Haja cruz! E houve cruz

Overall Meaning

These lyrics delve into the human longing for something beyond the ordinary, something eternal and profound. The opening line speaks of the yearning for a mystery without a name, suggesting a desire for an intangible and mysterious truth. It further expresses the longing to experience the eternal while simultaneously feeling its absence. This contradiction leads to a sense of dissatisfaction, as if our faith is consuming us and leading us to a state of bankruptcy.


The lyrics then question what binds us to this absurd hunger, referring to the distortion of our natural essence caused by the relentless pursuit of time. It portrays time as a victim, devoid of its own existence, serving only the desires of those who cannot control it. The paradox of human nature and its desire for something beyond its grasp is emphasized.


However, the lyrics highlight a glimpse of hope in the midst of this existential questioning. It mentions the grace of the lamb, which humbles human pride and connects us to a true sense of time. Even before the creation of light itself, this grace emerged to save us from our ultimate destiny. This is symbolized by the proclamation "Haja cruz!" (Let there be a cross!) and the subsequent presence of the cross, which serves as a symbol of salvation and redemption.


In summary, these lyrics explore the human yearning for a nameless, eternal mystery while acknowledging the flaws and contradictions in our pursuit of it. It ultimately suggests that true fulfillment and connection with the essence of time can be found through the grace of a higher power, symbolized by the cross.
