E.C.T.
Nando Reis Lyrics

The song E.C.T. by Nando Reis tells the story of a man who accidentally opened a letter that was not meant for him. The letter contained a photograph and a declaration of love from a woman, who is not named, to the man who the letter was intended for. The man who intercepted the letter receives various illegal items, like crack and money, through deliveries that he intercepts, but this specific letter is different. It holds emotional weight, unlike the other objects he has stolen. The woman in the letter writes about how she is content with the idea of getting married, having children, and growing old with the man she loves. The man who intercepted the letter turns this love letter into a song that he hears on the radio, leading the woman to realize that her private letter has been exposed to the public. The lyrics repeat the phrase "Levo o mundo e não vou lá" meaning "I take the world but I'm not going there" suggesting that the character is avoiding something significant.

The lyrics indicate that the man who stole the letter is not a good person, as he has clients who buy illegal drugs from him, but the song also reveals a sad reality, where personal privacy can easily be invaded, and privacy breaches can cause significant emotional distress. The woman's letter was meant for her lover, and the man who intercepted it should never have read it, let alone turn it into a public song. The song serves as a commentary on the power of betrayal, the loss of trust, and the need for personal privacy.
