The lyrics of Teto Preto's song "Ita" are repetitive and primarily focus on the concept of the ocean and its continuous cycles of crashing waves against a stone or "ita" in Portuguese. The song starts and ends with the mention of the "ita," highlighting its significance and perhaps linking it to a sense of permanence and grounding amidst the chaotic motion of the waves. The repetition of the phrase "O mar é" (the sea is) emphasizes the vastness and power of the ocean, and the choice to keep the subject of the song simple leaves room for interpretation and reflection.
