Carnaval
Lakan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Lágrima de sangue na ponta dos pés
Gira o mundo gira vida como um vendaval
Só que to preso no chão minha base eu sei qual é
Na base cavaco e baco me põe a cantar
Melodia que me move eu que vou compor
Decompondo-me na corda pra me equilibrar
Mesmo que não tenha de sobra
Pros disse me disse que os vice chega e já se afoga
Maravilha, buraco sem Alice
Somente trazendo à tona pra esse mundo som massa mas sem manobra
E a vida cobra! Nela que nos desdobramos
Pra tenta encaixa no momento de tempo colocados sobre nós
Sabe que esse é meu algoz
Pra tenta pensa no qual clima denso tenso que acomodo minha voz
Quero sabe quando ficaremos a sós
Quando que sentirei tua voz vazia me tocar
De novo!
Desse amor não existe foz
Mas saudades são memórias difíceis de recordar
E tá difícil de lembra
Alguém me explica por que que tão difícil de lembra
Se memórias não irão mais vir à tona
Cantarei por quarentenas sanfonas que só quem é pode escuta
E eu vou canta, e eu vou, eu vou canta
Eu vou canta e eu vou canta e eu vou canta
Até a calma no coração bate
Até minha alma começa a voa
E eu vou!
Eu vou canta, eu vou canta
Eu vou canta e eu vou canta e eu vou canta
Até a calma no coração bate
Até minha alma começa a voa
"Carnaval" by Lakan delves into themes of emotional turmoil, resilience, and the power of music to transcend pain and despair. The opening verses express the singer's emotional state as being akin to a carnival, where tears flow like blood at the tip of their toes. This vivid imagery sets the scene for a tumultuous inner struggle, highlighted by the metaphor of the world spinning like a whirlwind while the singer feels tethered to the ground, aware of their foundation. The mention of the cavaco and baco, traditional Brazilian musical instruments, symbolizes the healing power of music and how it can inspire the singer to create beauty out of their pain.
The lyrics further explore the process of composing music as a form of catharsis, with the singer metaphorically "decomposing" on the strings of their instrument to find balance and equilibrium. Through the act of writing about their own pain, the singer seeks to transform it into love, demonstrating a profound understanding of the transformative nature of art. The reference to writing about pain to convert it into love reflects a deep introspection and an attempt to find meaning and healing through creative expression.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the complexities of life and the inevitability of facing challenges and consequences. The mention of being engulfed in a dense and tense climate alludes to the struggle of finding one's voice and identity amidst external pressures and societal expectations. The idea of feeling trapped by life's demands and the need to navigate through difficult moments is a universal theme that resonates with listeners who may also feel constrained by their circumstances.
The closing verses of the song convey a sense of longing and nostalgia, as the singer yearns for moments of connection and intimacy that seem elusive. The mention of memories being difficult to recall highlights the fleeting nature of emotions and experiences, yet the persistence of music in preserving these fleeting moments. The repetition of the resolve to keep singing and soaring until peace settles in the heart and the soul takes flight underscores a message of perseverance and hope in the face of adversity. Ultimately, "Carnaval" by Lakan celebrates the transformative power of music as a tool for self-discovery, healing, and resilience in the face of life's challenges.
