2012
Galinha Preta Lyrics

The lyrics to Galinha Preta's song "2012" express the anxiety and desperation of the singer as they face the possibility of the world coming to an end. They are afraid of what will happen if the world does not end, as they have accumulated debts and made impulsive decisions such as quitting their job and living recklessly. The repetition of the lines "Eu tô morren' de medo / Eu tô desesperado / Se o mundo não acabar eu vou tar enrolado" emphasize the singer's fear and uncertainty about their future.

The lines "Com um monte de dívidas, comprei tudo a prazo! / Mandei meu chefe à merda e fugi do trabalho / Fodi minha vida inteira e estou sossegado" reveal the consequences of the singer's actions in the face of impending doom. They have accumulated debts by buying things on credit, quit their job in a fit of anger, and lived recklessly. Despite the chaos of their life, the singer seems resigned to their fate, as they are "sossegado" (at peace).

The ending of the lyrics, which are gibberish and incomprehensible, adds to the sense of chaos and confusion. It can be interpreted as a frantic expression of the singer's anxieties, or a symbol of the breakdown of language and communication in the face of worldwide destruction.
