Labirintos Negros
Sérgio Sampaio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Por trás dos edifícios
Da cidade moderna
Os labirintos negros
Prendem os que esperam
A condução, ou não
A confusão, ou não
A confusão, eu não
Algo estranho esconde a sombra
Sob os nossos pés descalços
Sobre o asfalto cedo
Na avenida larga
Os labirintos negros
Espalham nuvens cinzas
De desesperança
De desesperança
De desesperança
Explodiu a sombra




E eclodiu a festa
Estranha fossa

The second verse highlights the way in which these black mazes spread clouds of despair and hopelessness, creating a sense of restlessness and unease within the city. Finally, the third verse transitions to a scene of explosive celebration erupting from the shadows, leading to a strange pit or void.
