Surreal
Scalene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nada era certo, mas parecia tão normal
Me acostumei com a incerteza ideal
Nos faz querer o tudo, o pouco não é opção
Será surreal ter o mundo em minhas mãos?

Tinha ao meu lado quem soubesse me ajudar
E acreditei no que iria me tornar
O pouco era simples, o tudo foi a opção
Será irreal ter o mundo em minhas mãos?

Longe, alto
Cabe a cada um de nós dizer
Onde, quando
Cabe a cada um de nós saber

A felicidade acordamos só pra ter
E compartilhar com aqueles que nos fazem
Sentir que estamos perto, saber que o longe é opção
Será ideal ter o mundo em minhas mãos?

Longe, alto
Cabe a cada um de nós dizer
Onde, quando
Cabe a cada um de nós saber

Seja qual for o final
Faça ser algo ideal




Seja qual for o final
Faça ser algo surreal

Overall Meaning

The song "Surreal" by the Brazilian band Scalene expresses the uncertainty and ambiguity of life, hinted in the opening line, "Nada era certo, mas parecia tão normal" (Nothing was certain, but it seemed so normal). The singer has become accustomed to the ideal of uncertainty, and the possibility of having everything instead of settling for less. He wavers between the questions: "Será surreal ter o mundo em minhas mãos?" (Would it be surreal to have the world in my hands?) and "Será irreal ter o mundo em minhas mãos?" (Would it be unreal to have the world in my hands?), highlighting the ambiguity of the future.


The verse implies that the singer has a supportive companion alongside him all throughout this venture, and he believes in the person he is going to be eventually. He chooses everything over anything and is open to going to great heights to achieve it. But his journey to fulfill the call for the whole is nothing compared to the ultimate prize: happiness shared with people that matter. The singer conveys his willingness to make it surreal or ideal, regardless of the outcome.

Hey, dude, i translated the lyrics for you!
The lyrics are an amazing part of the experience hearing Scalene, you couldn't miss it.


"Nothing was right, but it seemed so normal,
I got used to the ideal uncertainty.

Makes us want everything,
Little isn't an option.
Is it unreal to have the world in my hands?

I had by my side,
Who knew how to help me,
And i believed,
In what i would become.

The little was too simple,
The everything was the option,
Is it ideal to have the world in my hands?

Far, high,
It's up to every one of us to say,
Where, when,
It's up to every one of us to know.

Happiness, we wake up just so we can have it,
And share it with the ones that makes us,
Feel like we're close, knowing that far is an option,
Is it ideal to have the world in my hands?

Far, high,
It's up to every one of us to say,
Where, when,
It's up to every one of us to know.

Wichever may be the ending,
Make it be something ideal,
Wichever may be the ending,
Make it be something surreal."

Eu perdi o amor da minha vida para a depressão e essa era a música preferida dele. Rafa, eu sinto sua falta todos os dias meu amor. Preciso que as outras pessoas saibam que Se você precisar de ajuda, não hesite em procurar. A dor é surreal para aqueles que ficam.
