Madrugada
Stereograma Lyrics

"Madrugada" by Stereograma is a Portuguese-language song that tells the story of a man who finds his lover sitting naked on the street with a cold beer in one hand and a sharp knife in the other. The man fears that the knife might be aimed at him, and he sings, "The target of this knife can be me." He then explains that he was not responsible for the strange behavior of his lover and that she provoked her own downfall. He concludes the song by stating that he will leave her and that he himself might become the target of her hatred. He sings, "The target of your hate can be me, and the cure for your hate can also be me."

The song is open to interpretation, but one possible reading is that it is about the destructive power of addiction or substance abuse. The singer's lover might be depicted as someone who has been consumed by addiction and who poses a threat to those around her. The singer, in turn, might be someone who has tried to help her but now realizes that he needs to walk away for his own safety. The repeated refrain of "Pode Ser Eu" (It could be me) emphasizes the sense of danger and uncertainty that accompanies addiction.
