Gasolina Aditivada
Teto Preto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gasolina, gasolina neles
Gasolina, gasolina neles
Gasolina neles
Gasolina, gasolina neles
Quando eu voltei para Eldorado
Não sei se antes ou depois
A natureza
A mesma gente perdida
Em sua infinita grandeza
Eu trazia uma forte amargura
Dos encontros perdidos
E outra vez me perdia
No fundo dos meus sentidos
Eu não acreditava em sonhos
Em mais nada
Apenas a carne me ardia
E nela eu me encontrava
Apenas a carne
Me ardia
E nela, eu encontrava
Apenas a carne me ardia
E nela, eu me encontrava
Apenas a carne me ardia...

Gasolina, gasolina neles
Gasolina, gasolina neles
Gasolina, gasolina neles
Gasolina neles
Gasolina, gasolina neles
Eu sou o pão vivo
Que desceu do céu
E quem comer desse pão
Para sempre viverá
E esse, esse é o meu sangue
Que eu darei por ai
Pela vida a fundo
E quem come da minha carne
E bebe do meu sangue
Permanece em mim
E eu nele
E quem come da minha carne
E bebe do meu sangue
Permanece em mim
E eu nele
Gasolina, gasolina neles
Gasolina, gasolina neles
Gasolina, gasolina neles
Gasolina neles
Gasolina, gasolina neles

The lyrics of Teto Preto's song "Gasolina Aditivada" are quite abstract and open to interpretation. The first stanza repeats the phrase "Gasolina, gasolina neles" which can be translated as "Gasoline, gasoline in them." This could symbolize a desire for power or domination over others. The second stanza begins with the line "Quando eu voltei para Eldorado," which means "When I returned to Eldorado." Eldorado is a legendary city of gold and could symbolize a place of fantastic wealth and opportunity. The singer reflects on their return and the unchanging landscape, conveying a sense of stagnation and disillusionment. The following lines describe feeling lost and disconnected, with a strong sense of physical desire and need.
The third stanza features religious imagery, with the singer declaring "Eu sou o pão vivo que desceu do céu" which means "I am the living bread that came down from heaven." This line is a reference to a statement made by Jesus in the Bible. The imagery continues, discussing the idea of consuming flesh and blood and becoming one with the divine. This section could reflect a spiritual craving, a desire for transcendence beyond the mundane world.
The final stanza repeats the phrase "Eu sou uma metralhadora em estado de graça" which means "I am a machine gun in a state of grace." This line echoes similar themes of power and aggression presented earlier in the song. It could be interpreted as a declaration of strength or dominance, or a critique of a violent society that celebrates weapons.
Overall, "Gasolina Aditivada" is a complex and thought-provoking piece of music that highlights the human desires for power, connection, and transcendence.
