Controle Remoto
Frejat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De cinema, de pintura, de música e de poesia
Eu queria te abraçar e te proteger de todo o mal
Reescrever a história e as notícias do jornal
Fazer um photoshop na realidade
Deletar toda miséria e a maldade
Mas a verdade é que não há como fugir
Temos que aprender a ser fortes, meu amor, fortes
E a lidar com as coisas da vida e da morte
Se eu pudesse mudaria o mundo na televisão
Com um toque no controle remoto aqui na minha mão
Tanta morte, tanto crime nesse mundo desigual
Se eu pudesse acabaria com as guerras ao mudar de canal
Mas a verdade é que não há como fugir
Temos que aprender a ser fortes, meu amor, fortes
E a lidar com as coisas da vida e da morte
Fazer as pazes entre Árabes e Judeus
Reconstruir mesquitas, sinagogas e museus
Mas a verdade é que não há como fugir
Temos que aprender a ser fortes, meu amor, fortes
E a lidar com as coisas da vida e da morte
The lyrics to Frejat's song Controle Remoto express a desire for peace, love, and goodness in the world, as the singer yearns to discuss philosophy, cinema, art, music, and poetry with their loved one. They wish to protect their loved one from all the negative things in the world and rewrite history and the news to be more positive. The singer wishes to delete all misery and evil and to manipulate reality like a photoshop project. However, they ultimately acknowledge that it is impossible to escape the harsh realities of life and death. Recognizing this, the singer urges their loved one (and listeners) to learn to be strong and to face life's challenges.
The song then transitions to the metaphor of a remote control, and the singer imagines controlling the world's problems like changing channels on a TV. They wish to end wars, violence, and inequality, and rebuild mosques, synagogues, and museums. They want to make peace between Arabs and Jews and end the constant cycle of violence. But again, they recognize this as a lofty dream and acknowledge that we must learn to be strong and face life's difficulties.
Overall, the lyrics convey a message of hope and optimism but also recognition of the harsh realities of the world. The singer acknowledges that it is easy to desire change but that change requires strength and perseverance.
