Crebro Eletrnico
Marisa Monte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Faz quase tudo
Faz quase tudo
Mas ele mudo
O crebro eletrnico comanda
Manda e desmanda
Ele quem manda
Mas ele no anda
S Deus existe
S eu
S eu posso chorar
Quando estou triste
S eu
Eu c com meus botes
De carne e osso
Eu falo e ouo. Hum
Eu penso e posso
Eu posso decidir
Se vivo ou morro por que
Porque sou vivo
Vivo pra cachorro e sei
Que crebro eletrnico nenhum me d socorro
No meu caminho inevitvel para a morte
Porque sou vivo
Sou muito vivo e sei
Que a morte nosso impulso primitivo e sei
Que crebro eletrnico nenhum me d socorro
Com seus botes de ferro e seus olhos de vidro
The song "Crebro Eletrnico" by Marisa Monte is a reflection on the limitations of technology and the power of the human mind. The lyrics suggest that while technology, represented by the "crebro eletrnico," is capable of doing almost everything, it is ultimately limited by its inability to feel or experience emotions. The human mind, on the other hand, has the ability to think, feel and make decisions, making it superior to any electronic device.
The lyrics also explore the idea that while we may think we are in control of our lives, ultimately we are powerless in the face of death. The reference to "caminho inevitvel para a morte" (inevitable path towards death) suggests that we are all on a journey that ends in death, and that no amount of technological advancements can change that. The lyrics suggest that it is only through our own ability to think, feel and decide that we can truly live life to the fullest.
