Eu Sei
Legião Urbana Lyrics

The song "Eu Sei" by Legião Urbana is a reflection on the nature of human communication and the power dynamics that shape it. The lyrics suggest a certain distrust of verbal communication and the ways in which it can obscure the truth. The opening lines, "Sexo verbal não faz meu estilo / Palavras são erros, e os erros são seus," express a preference for nonverbal communication and a sense that language is inherently unreliable. The idea that "words are errors" suggests that language is not a reliable means of expressing truth or communicating effectively.

The singer then confronts his own flaws and acknowledges that he too is prone to lies and misrepresentations. This is reflected in the lines "Não quero lembrar que eu erro também / Não quero lembrar que eu minto também." However, he also recognizes the power that comes from being able to manipulate language and deceive others: "Porque é mais forte quem sabe mentir."

The song then shifts to a more personal reflection on love and relationships. The lines "Feche a porta do seu quarto / Porque se toca o telefone pode ser alguém / Com quem você quer falar / Por horas e horas e horas" suggest a sense of intimacy and secrecy between two people. The fear of being interrupted by an outside force (represented by the phone call) underscores the intensity of their connection.

The song concludes with a sense of longing and nostalgia for the past, with the singer reflecting on the transience of life and the importance of preserving memories and relationships. "Somos pássaro novo longe do ninho" suggests a sense of freedom and possibility, but also a recognition of the risks that come with leaving the safety of home. The final lines, "Eu sei / Eu sei," suggest a sense of acceptance and resignation – a recognition that life is complicated and uncertain, but still worth living.
