com dentes de ouro
rubis do pomar
brilho intenso
lixo estelar
envolto em nuvens de cetim
ao te ver dançar
doce intuição
o elogio à destruição
In Fernando Motta's song "Elogio À Destruição," the lyrics depict a mesmerizing scene of destruction. The opening line, "eu me encantei ao te ver desmanchar," translates to "I was enchanted when I saw you unravel," suggesting that the singer is captivated by witnessing someone slowly crumbling or falling apart. The imagery continues with the mention of "dentes de ouro," which translates to "golden teeth," possibly indicating a metaphorical reference to someone's allure or captivating smile. The mention of "rubis do pomar" or "orchard rubies" adds to the mystique, representing the precious and alluring qualities of the person being observed.
The following lines, "brilho intenso, lixo estelar," which translate to "intense shine, stellar trash," create a paradoxical image.
