Rio De Janeiro
Mutantes Lyrics

The lyrics of the Mutantes' song "Rio de Janeiro" offer a clear insight into the feelings of a person who is overwhelmed by the insanity and chaos of the present world. The opening line "Diante da loucura, no mudo atual" (in the face of madness, in the present world), sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer in the song seems to be searching for a way to cope with the turmoil of modern life, looking for relief through divine intervention. This is highlighted in the following line "Eu busco nas alturas o pão e o Melhoral" (I seek bread and medicine from the heights), which suggests the singer is seeking solace from the spiritual realm.

The next line "Sessões de bombardeio, eu vôo além do mar" (bombing sessions, I fly beyond the sea) indicates that the singer is trying to escape the stress of reality by seeking refuge in fantasy, creating a world free from the turmoil of the present. However, the next line "Eu vejo na TV tomando Guaraná" (I watch on TV, drinking Guaraná) suggests that this escape is only temporary and shallow.

The lyrics of "Rio de Janeiro" reflect a sense of despair about the present world, with the singer barely holding on to a sense of faith that is increasingly challenged by the overwhelming madness of contemporary life. The final line of the song "Parece que o discurso que Jesus Cristo fez, foi feito pra pessoas que sofrem de surdez" (It seems that the speech Jesus Christ made was meant for people who are deaf) suggests that even religion cannot provide relief from the chaos of the present, adding a layer of melancholy to the overall tone of the song.
