Vôo de Coração
Ritchie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O seu holograma
Você parece sorrir
Você me pisca o olho
Você me manda um beijo
Parece estar mesmo aqui
Mas eu só no apartamento
Nas asas do tempo
Vertigem do momento
Vou de coração, meu amor
Um mistério e um sorriso vão revelar
As histórias que um belo dia
Contarão nosso momento
Nesse apartamento
Vou de coração, meu amor
Vôo de coração...
In Ritchie's song Vôo de Coração, the singer finds himself alone in his apartment, reminiscing about someone who seems to be present through a hologram in the corner of the room. This person smiles and winks at him, even blowing him a kiss, but the singer knows that it's just a projection and that he's alone. Despite this, he is inspired to write memories on his old computer, taking flight on the wings of time and diving into the vertigo of the moment, guided by the flight of his heart. He wonders about the stories that will be told later about this moment and the mysterious, smiling person in the hologram. Even though they are not actually there, the singer takes a leap of faith and follows his heart's desires.
The song touches on the theme of the illusions we create in our minds, whether it's a memory or a hologram, and how they can inspire us to explore our own feelings and express ourselves creatively. The singer lets his heart lead him on this flight, regardless of whether or not the object of his affections is truly present. It speaks to the idea that sometimes, it's not about the destination, but the journey.

Há quase 40 anos o cara já falava de tecnologia, solidão urbana, sobre alguém que não estava ali fisicamente, no entanto, marcava presença através virtualidade e do pensamento. Ritchie realmente é um ser genial e esta canção é um puro banquete de linguagem atemporal. Com tanta luz própria, ele nem precisa de ribalta. Lendário!
