Supernova
Skank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eu diria totalmente extravagante
Nosso amor é agressivo no seu ímpeto lascivo
De amizade escarnada no desejo
Não tem calma o forte sim da tua presença
Fecundando minha mente e o fundo desse poço
Onde me jogo simplesmente por esporte boêmio
Nosso amor é agressivo no seu ímpeto lascivo
De amizade escarnada no desejo
Obtém aquele máximo poder de um casal
Que é só mesmo destino de um pro outro
No universo das paixões
Amor assim é supernova
Certeiro na veia da carne
Da alma, na carne d'alma
The opening verse of the song "Supernova" by Skank is about an intense and unsettling love that is completely extravagant. The singer describes their love as aggressive and lascivious, with a desire that comes from a place of ridicule and friendship. The strong presence of the other person is overpowering, and it feeds the singer's mind and soul. The singer feels like they are continually falling into a deep pit out of leisure, but the love they have with this person is so serious and crazy that it hangs by a thread of tension.
The chorus reiterates that their love is aggressive and full of desire that comes from friendship. Their love has the power to traverse through the fate of time and bring two people together. The bridge of the song states that in the universe of love, this love is a supernova that is direct and precise in hitting the veins of the flesh, the soul, and the flesh of the soul.
The song is a reflection of a love that is intense and wild, where friendship plays an immense role in triggering the passion. The singer describes this love with imagery that doesn't look or sound pretty, but it reflects its authenticity, magnitude, and strength. The song leaves an impression that the love the character has is both positive and negative, but it's clear that it's overpowering.

O melhor álbum de musica pop lançado no Brasil neste século.
Samuel chegou ao ápice como melodista e seus parceiros, especialmente Chico Amaral estavam inpisradissimos nas letras.
