Nunca
Trails and Ways Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna go where you hide out
Where you paint graffiti, I'll follow
Show me shapes, spiral lines I can't translate
Leave your mark, felt tip pen: your tag, my chest
I wanna tell you how, understand, I will Nunca nunca te esconder, desaparecer
Nunca, nunca nunca
You tell me your city is only a maze
of walls and laws you just can't obey
You can't write laws and so you paint
that tattoo, on the city arms, on the city face
I wanna tell you how, understand, I will
Nunca, nunca te esconder, desaparecer
Nunca, nunca nunca
The song "Nunca" by Trails and Ways explores the desire to explore and understand someone's hometown or city, particularly when it is a foreign or unfamiliar place.

The singer seeks to connect with their partner and delve into the city's vibrant street art scene, trusting their local knowledge to lead the way.
The chorus, "Nunca nunca te esconder, desaparecer" translates from Portuguese to "Never, never hide or disappear." This line emphasizes the importance of openness and honesty in a relationship, as the singer wants their partner to reveal the authentic and unfiltered aspects of their life and city. The repeated use of "nunca" underscores the singer's determination to never hide or lose their connection with their partner.
Additionally, the verse "You tell me your city is only a maze of walls and laws you just can't obey" points to the difficulties and challenges of living in an urban environment with strict regulations and limitations. However, the singer believes that through art and self-expression, their partner can overcome these obstacles and leave a lasting legacy on the city.
Overall, "Nunca" is a song that celebrates the power of personal connections and the transformative nature of exploring a new place with someone you love.

Show me your São Paulo
Reveal to me the São Paulo you know intimately
I wanna go where you hide out
I long to explore the places where you feel safe and secret
Where you paint graffiti, I'll follow
I'll join you in leaving artistic traces in the city
Show me shapes, spiral lines I can't translate
Present to me the unfamiliar designs that intrigue you
Leave your mark, felt tip pen: your tag, my chest
Make an impression with your unique symbol, let it be known to all
You tell me your city is only a maze
You confess that your hometown is a labyrinth of restrictions and boundaries
of walls and laws you just can't obey
There are physical and societal barriers you cannot conform to
You can't write laws and so you paint
Since you cannot change the rules, you express yourself through public art
that tattoo, on the city arms, on the city face
Your creations leave a permanent mark on the urban environment
I wanna tell you how, understand, I will
I want to communicate to you clearly, I promise to make myself understood
Nunca nunca te esconder, desaparecer
Never ever hide or disappear from me
Nunca, nunca nunca
Never, never, never
