Planos à Esquerda
Noção de Nada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pra querer te acompanhar
Ainda não sei o que é ser livre pra você, me diz?
Se eu pudesse conhecer a respeito
Do que você quer, do que você quer
E voltar a crer que novas idéias existem
E não é por medo e nem nunca foi
Discutir não vai mais nos levar a lugar nenhum
Nem preciso planejar
Ainda não sei o que é que ganhar pra você, me diz?
Se eu soubesse descartar as pessoas
Como você fez, como você faz
E voltar a crer que novas idéias existem
E não é por medo e nem nunca foi
Me diz que a ressaca vai passar
Me fale de um outro lugar
Onde tudo não seja tão frágil como aqui
The song "Planos a Esquerda" by Noção de Nada speaks about the complexities of relationships, individual freedom, and finding one's own identity. The opening lines state that the singer has come to realize that they are not as nihilistic as they thought, and that they are willing to accompany the other person (presumably a lover or friend) on their journey. However, the singer admits that they still do not understand what it means to be free for the other person, and so they ask for clarification. This could suggest that the relationship is one where both individuals are still figuring out what they want for themselves and for each other.
The song continues with the singer also expressing a desire to believe in new ideas and concepts, but they need reassurance that their partner is not simply agreeing out of fear. The lyrics suggest that the two have been in discussions or disputes about something in the past, but now the singer feels that these conversations are futile and will not lead them anywhere. The singer also questions what it means to win for the other person, possibly referring to the competitive nature of their relationship or a desire to meet certain expectations.
The chorus pleads for the other person to give some sort of hope or direction by promising that the hangover will pass and to talk about a place where things are not as fragile as they are in their current situation.
Overall, the song explores the complications of personal growth within a relationship. It acknowledges that progress can only be made through honest communication and understanding of one's individual needs.
