Cocaína
Lucas Ricco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E a bolsinha de remédios perdida no chão
Três cortes no pulso pra chamar atenção
E o que resta são as preces vazias em vão
Eu quero mergulhar mas meus olhos ardem
O que fazer, se não encontro razão nem por que?
O que fazer?
Uma pistola engatilhada sem balas
Um vulcão inativado sem fogo
Uma raiva que não leva a nada
Uma orquestra de vozes sem coro
Eu quero me achar mas eu não me procuro
Eu preciso dormir, eu tenho medo do escuro
Eu quero cheirar mas teu perfume é doce demais
Não tentei fugir, a fuga não me satisfaz
O que fazer, se não encontro paixão nem querer?
O que fazer?
Pra que chorar se tenho os olhos úmidos?
De que adianta viver se o silêncio já vive em mim?
Tudo nesta vida é abstrato exceto a dor
Eu ando na contramão mas tenho pânico de elevador
O que fazer, se não encontro razão nem por que?
O que fazer?
Cocaína, tristeza, solidão.
Tudo em vão. Se você cair, somente o chão
These lyrics from Lucas Ricco's song "Cocaína" explore themes of despair, loneliness, and inner turmoil. The opening lines depict a sense of hopelessness and emptiness, with references to cocaine, sadness, and solitude. The image of a lost bag of medication and self-inflicted wounds on the wrist suggest a cry for help and a longing for something more meaningful. Despite reaching out for attention through self-harm, the singer only finds empty prayers that seem to go unheard.
The next verse delves into feelings of fear and internal conflict. The singer expresses a desire to take risks but is held back by their own apprehensions and struggles. The mention of a loaded gun without bullets and a dormant volcano without fire symbolize potential danger and power that remain unutilized. The frustration and anger described in the following lines emphasize a sense of aimlessness and chaos, with a comparison to a disorganized choir lacking harmony.
The middle section of the song addresses themes of self-discovery and vulnerability. The singer expresses a longing to find themselves but struggles to do so amidst their fears and insecurities. The mention of wanting to sleep but fearing the darkness and desiring a sweet scent but feeling overwhelmed by it reflects a sense of internal conflict and confusion. The refusal to escape or seek solace in distractions suggests a deeper desire for genuine connection and fulfillment.
The concluding lines bring a sense of resignation and acceptance of the harsh realities of life. The references to tears, living in silence, and navigating the abstract nature of existence convey a deep sense of disillusionment and resignation. The singer's fear of the elevator symbolizes a reluctance to face their own emotional depths and confront their inner demons. In the end, the repetition of the opening themes of cocaine, sadness, and loneliness, culminating in the stark reminder that if one falls, only the ground awaits, underscores a sense of finality and inevitability in the face of life's struggles.
