Chapei

Tinha naipe de estilista, meio Janelle Monáe
Dispensou quatro na pista em 10 minutos de rolê
Vem com bonde das amigas que te bota pra correr
Curte funk das antigas, uh, uh, tererê
Me deixou apaixonado, coisa que era impossível
Passos de Aline Riscado, quando dança é indiscutível

Lábio grande, adocicado, suingado indescritível
Já pulo, ser namorado e já posso ir pro outro nível

Veio em mim, chamou de meu rei
O que você pedir é lei
E me disse assim "aproveita, docinho
Que amanhã eu não sei"
Logo eu, durão convencido
Coração meio endurecido
Ficou mole, esmorecido
E a partir de agora não sou eu mais quem decido

Eu não sei dizer bye bye
Do meu coração não sai
Penso o tempo inteiro
Olha que eu não era assim
Eu vivo correndo atrás
Só que não tem nós dois mais
Só ficou o cheiro (o meu cheiro)
Mó pedaço de mau caminho

O cheiro dela ficou na casa inteira
Era suave, leve, capim-cidreira
Eu vacilão, me entreguei de primeira
'Cê destroçou meu coração, traiçoeira
Firmão, 'cê pega o beco, segue o baile, eu 'to seguindo

Vou te pôr no meu passado, não é pra lá que eu 'to indo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Só Ficou O Cheiro" by Rael depict a narrative about a passionate and intense love affair that has come to an end. The singer describes their initial attraction to the person, highlighting their stylish and captivating presence reminiscent of Janelle Monáe. Despite being initially hesitant about falling in love, the singer finds themself completely enamored by their partner's charm, dance skills, and irresistible nature. However, as the relationship unfolds, it becomes clear that it is not meant to last. The singer's heart softens and they relinquish control over their own decisions, feeling powerless in the face of their love for this person.

The chorus reflects the singer's struggle to move on from the relationship. They admit that their heart still yearns for their former lover, constantly thinking about them despite the fact that they are no longer together. The lingering scent left behind serves as a painful reminder of what once was, leaving the singer longing for a love that no longer exists. The verses continue to explore the aftermath of the breakup, with the singer acknowledging their vulnerability and sense of betrayal. The song concludes with a reference to the ex-lover's penchant for speaking ill of unattractive men who are only able to find love when attractive partners are unavailable.

Overall, "Só Ficou O Cheiro" delves into the complexities of love, desire, and heartbreak, portraying a story of intense passion and the difficult process of letting go.

This entire episode has a theme of pressure boiling over.

It starts with Cassian sawing through the pipe until it burts and leaks.

Then the pressure builds among the prisoners as they get ready to escape.

Kino starts slow during his speech as it builds and his emotions come bursting through.

As the prisoners jump into the water, the overhead shot makes the prison look like an imperial symbol leaking.

And Luthens speech, as you said, has the same quality as Kinos, in that the emotions bubbel up like lava.

@Nick.Georgiev

He burned his decency for the future of having the New Republic filled with incompetent bozos who get infiltrated by the Imperial Remnant, use unconscionable mind-wipe torture devices, are mired by corruption and bureaucracy, and are ultimately a failed government. The order that the Empire brought was better for the average citizen. Now of course, the Empire was not perfect. But I would argue it was made far worse by the Emperor wanting to cause a lot of pain and suffering. He intentionally made it so most people living in the Empire would have to make these evil choices that pushed them down a path. It is explored in the Alphabet Squadron novels. He wanted all of his soldiers to commit war crimes, to become more and more evil. But without the Emperor, with someone pragmatic like Thrawn in charge, the Empire could have been far more successful than the pathetic New Republic.

Andor was, in my opinion, the first piece of Star Wars media since the original films that attempted to be a great work of art first, and "Star Wars" second. This show is honestly the only piece of Star Wars media that completely stands on its own as an incredibly intricate, meaningful and gripping story that is as moving and emotional as it is allegorical. This show singlehandedly saves Star Wars for me, a series that I grew up with and cared deeply about that fell into a pit of fanservice and cheap purposeless action. I really really hope they get to continue telling more stories like it.

One of the things that makes this monologue so effective in my opinion is that it doesn't challenge cliché. In fact it's embracing a very old cliché, "I'm sacrificing everything". There's an understanding in the writing of Andor, that to use a cliché like this simply needs character weight behind it - which isn't just conveyed through the rest of this excellent monologue, but also in the nearly full season of character work to show us who Luthen is. Cliché becomes so, because it is a common depiction of the human experience. It becomes hard to swallow only when done poorly. You don't need subversion to make great drama, just solid characters with compelling motivations.

One thing I think is really impressive about this monologue is how Luthen’s voice is incredibly expressive and tells you everything about how he feels while his face remains mostly the blank and restrained mask we’ve seen whenever he’s acting in his “rebel agent” persona (as opposed to the smiley and expressive antique dealer persona).

This is the kind of monologue where if you used it as audition material many actors would try to make it this huge thing with lots of facial expressions and poses, but no, Luthen just steadily walks forward with that haunting blank expression, showing us how this has turned him into a shambling husk of a man while explaining how this fight has taken everything from him, any possible future other than the fight itself.

Yet he won't even allow it to be framed in heroic terms, saying that pure ego was the driver behind his decisions, thereby removing the last of the human incentives left to a revolutionary: glory and integrity.

The one in the light is boxed in, with nowhere to go but forward, and the one in shadow has a tunnel behind his back, a long road to walk into darkness... One stands in the light and he can remain, or step forward out of the light along his path... The other knows the road he is committed to taking, and thus you can see, along with his raging, he's issuing a warning... "If you take my road, this is what is ahead of you."

Something about the way Stellan uses the gravelly voice he has and the calculated look in his eyes makes the delivery of this monologue truly haunting. Greatest monologue in Star Wars history!

i loved how he doesnt disrespect or hate or even threaten lonni despite having the power and means to do all three, he understands lonni and he knows he was there once before but too far gone to go back so he just basically tells him to stay and the truth that lonni is in too deep to go anywhere and at the end even calls him a hero and someone he needs

So glad this is getting the attention it deserves. This is Shakespearean level stuff. Tremendous delivery by Stellan Skarsgård.

One, if not the most powerful speeches given, that is so insightful of those who seek to help fight against tyranny, by any means, and sacrificing the essence of any humanity they may have had.

Exactly. Luthen is aware that if he Steeps down to the Empire's level to defeat the Empire then does that even make what he's fighting for better than the empire.

@@JNB0723 I think it's more like he's fighting for something better, but in the process, he must make himself darker. It doesn't necessarily mean the result won't be better.

I've heard many people say this is the greatest scene in all of Star Wars - and that is for obvious reasons. I'd even go so far as to argue this is among the top 5 best pieces of dialogue in the entire TV history. It's so powerful in every way: the script, the setup, the timing, the performances and most of all, Stellan Skarsgård's flawless delivery. Probably my personal favorite TV/movie scene.

The monologues that come from this show are amazing. Keno Loy (I think that’s how you spell his name), Luther, and even Cassians mothers speeches are all peak Star Wars.

This is a prime example why Andor is by far the greatest Star Wars show of all time.

"Andor" is truly worthy of winning Emmys for its writing, direction, acting, editing, production design... Herr Skarsgård should absolutely receive accolades for his portrayal of 'Luthen Rael.'

This monologue shows us an incredible and much darker side to the Rebellion we never got to see. Luke and Hans and Leia were faces of the Rebellion, but they only got to be there to the dirty, dark manipulation, espionage, assassination and deception founders like Luthen had to. You're just left amazed by his sacrifice.

"And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude."

Such a tragic end. Imagine doing so much for everybody around you that you won't know if the people you've saved, or even yourself, praise or condemn your actions. You'll be lost to time. Brilliant writing.

I love the moment of stunned silence before Luthen's answer. He's taking a moment to think through his response, but the look on his face seems to say "how much time have you got, lad? Let me give you a list." The preamble to a man about to unload years of frustration on someone unwise enough to pry.

Andor was so phenomenal.. is breaks my heart it didn't get the attention it deserved because it does not have lightsabers in it..

I remember watching Andor with my girlfriend and this specific scene had drawn me in so much I thought our living room was the IMAX.

I have to stand by how I feel and this is the best thing to happen to Star Wars since Rogue One. The whole show is incredibly well-written and if you find it boring, then how old are you? A child? This monologue is legendary.

jesus. coming back to this after watching the Mandalorian season 3 so far. the difference is polarizing. andor is the blueprint. captivating writing is the #1 factor for these star wars shows.

I watched Boba Fett immediately after watching Arcane. Arcane was another one of those shows that almost never wastes a second. Every scene is building the world or developing a character more or moving the plot forward. Nothing wasted and all the scenes flowed so smoothly.

Then there was Boba Fett. There was stuff I liked but seeing a show done right just made all the mistakes and missing stuff more apparent.

Its 2024 and the Empire has seized us all. We need heroes now more than ever. To you all the Lonnie's out there working in the shadows know this the rebellion thinks of you all the time. Your sacrifice is beyond measure. We will give everything for you Lonnie!
