Pollyanna
Larissa Nunes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
a mente tá firme então não se apavora
se não desistiu então segue, simbora
piscando os olhos o tempo devora
trópico de capricórnio, são paulo - óbvio
passando todo dia enfrentando o nosso imbróglio
propósito, se o meu próprio rosto se cansou
linhas de expressão, eu tô na contramão
faz tempo e o metrô que dividiu nosso mundão
então viajar, Pollyanna
é um tanto injusto enquanto meu bairro foi trabalhar
O que já sentimos não vai mais embora
a mente tá firme então não se apavora
se não desistiu então segue, simbora
piscando os olhos o tempo devora
não quero mais saber
deixar de ser eu mesma mas no fundo eu só quero olhar
eu quero entender já
que amores vem e ficam e teu afeto pode ser meu lar
desilusão já vem
eu sonho sonho sonho e não quero mais parar
a loja vai fechar e minha insônia me dispara
se eu ouvir a tua voz são paulo volta a ser minha casa
eu vou deitar e rolar
mas não sou pollyanna......
The lyrics of Larissa Nunes's song "Pollyanna" delve into themes of resilience, self-discovery, and the passage of time. The opening lines emphasize the idea that the emotions and experiences we have had in the past will always remain with us, shaping our thoughts and actions. The mention of keeping a strong mindset and not panicking suggests a determination to move forward despite challenges and uncertainties. The lyrics encourage perseverance and continuation on one's path, urging the listener to keep moving forward, even as time relentlessly marches on.
The reference to the Tropic of Capricorn and São Paulo sets the stage for a personal journey filled with daily struggles and complexities. The wordplay on facing daily dilemmas and the exhaustion of one's own identity hints at a sense of weariness and disillusionment. The acknowledgment of aging and the transient nature of beauty further underscores the inevitable changes that occur over time. The imagery of lines of expression and an individual going against the flow symbolizes a defiance against conforming to societal expectations and norms.
As the song progresses, the lyrics delve into a contemplation of self-acceptance and the desire to understand one's place in the world. The longing for love and connection, juxtaposed with the inevitability of heartbreak and disappointment, reflects a yearning for emotional fulfillment and belonging. The lyrics speak to the continuous pursuit of dreams and aspirations, with the mention of insomnia and the impulse to listen to a familiar voice suggesting a longing for comfort and familiarity amidst the chaos of urban life.
The closing lines bring a sense of introspection and realism, as the singer acknowledges a desire for self-indulgence and enjoyment while rejecting the notion of blind optimism embodied by the character of Pollyanna. The juxtaposition of laying back and letting go with a declaration of not being Pollyanna highlights a complex interplay between escapism and facing reality. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a multifaceted exploration of identity, relationships, and the quest for belonging in a world marked by constant change and shifting perspectives.
