Ciclo Milenar
Jorge Vercillo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Final de século, a constância é o movimento de mudança
Os signos da modernidade são velozes e atonais

Teu encanto de sereia
Meus castelos de areia
Destruí
Sua cara de criança
Não dá medo nem esperança
Mas sorri, mas só ri

Essa maldita insegurança sangra, sangra e não estanca
Me refugio em tantos filmes, livros pra esquecer de ti

Cabeceiras e espelhos
Analistas-travesseiros
Meus irmãos
Parabólicas me trazem
Num mosaico de imagens
Solidão, solidão

Claridade na janela, deixa entrar
Está na hora de acordar, coragem
Pra brilhar na escuridão
De um novo ciclo milenar, milenar

Essa maldita insegurança sangra, sangra e não estanca
Me refugio em tantos filmes, livros pra esquecer de ti

Cabeceiras e espelhos
Analistas-travesseiros
Meus irmãos
Parabólicas me trazem
Num mosaico de imagens
Solidão, solidão

Claridade na janela, deixa entrar
Está na hora de acordar, coragem




Pra brilhar na escuridão
De um novo ciclo milenar, milenar

Overall Meaning

The song "Ciclo Milenar" by Jorge Vercillo talks about the struggles and insecurities of living in a constantly changing and fast-paced modern world. The first lines talk about the end of the century and the constant movement of change that is taking place. The signs of modernity are described as being fast and atonal, suggesting a lack of harmony or balance.


The lyrics then shift to a personal struggle, where the singer is dealing with the aftermath of a relationship. The person he's addressing has an enchanting quality, almost like a siren, but the singer's own castles made of sand have been destroyed. The person's childlike face doesn't inspire him with fear or hope, but they do smile and laugh. Despite this, the singer can't shake off the insecurity and pain of the breakup, and he seeks refuge in movies and books.


The next few lines refer to different sources of comfort or guidance. The singer turns to headboards and mirrors, analysts and pillows, and even satellite dishes for solace. But ultimately, he's left feeling lonely and isolated, surrounded only by a mosaic of disconnected images. Finally, there is a glimmer of hope. The singer sees a light at the window and realizes that it's time to wake up and find the courage to shine in the darkness of a new millennium.
