Nada Pra Fazer
Tequila Baby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
não tinha planos
eu não queria
perder meu tempo
não tinha sonhos
não tinha nada não
eu só me encontrei
quando comi perto de casa
eu só me encontrei
quando comi aquelas coisas brancas no jardim
lá no jardim, oh yeah
pra onde eu olho
agora eu vejo cores
e ouço música no ar
e as mulheres
nesse sonho lisérgico
sempre sorriem pra mim
eu só me encontrei
quando comi
perto de casa
lá no jardim
eu só me encontrei
quando comi aquelas coisas brancas no jardim
lá no jardim, oh yeah
nada pra fazer
nada pra fazer
nada, nada, não...
The lyrics of Tequila Baby's "Nada Pra Fazer" describe a state of numbness and aimlessness in the singer's life. He had no hurry, no plans, no dreams, and nothing to do. The only time he felt truly alive was when he ate some unknown substances in his garden, which he describes as "white things". The drugs open up his senses, allowing him to see and hear colors and music in the air. In this dreamlike state, he sees women smiling at him - the only connection he has with the world.
The lyrics of "Nada Pra Fazer" express the frustration and detachment many people experience in modern society. The singer's ennui and his eventual escape into drugs suggest a desire to escape the mundane and find meaning in life. However, the song does not offer a judgment on this escape - it merely observes the character's state of mind and his temporary "revelation" as a result of the drugs.
