Sinal Da Paranóia
Som Nosso de Cada Dia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Essa obsessão de chegar...
O terror de não vir a ser o que se pensa...

Esse eterno pensar nas coisas eternas
Que não duram mais que um dia
Que não duram mais que um dia

A tortura à procura da essência

O barulho aterroriza, tranca, lacra o peito

Sinal da paranóia, Sinal da paranóia, Sinal da paranóia
Sinal da paranóia, Sinal da paranóia, Sinal da paranóia

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sinal Da Paranóia by Som Nosso de Cada Dia speak about the obsession with one's own ambition and the fear of not living up to one's own expectations. The singer illustrates the concept of constantly thinking about things that are fleeting and have no real longevity, yet still causing panic and turmoil within oneself. The search for the essence of life and purpose brings a great amount of noise, chaos, and stress which has the power to cripple and constrain one's being.

The chorus of the song repeatedly emphasizes the phrase "Sinal da paranóia" which translates to the "Sign of paranoia." This phrase emphasizes the idea of an out of control and overwhelming anxiety that is the result of the individual's desire to their ambitions. The song speaks to the dangers of obsessing over time-sensitive things in life and the risk of wasting valuable time on one's futile pursuits.
