A Escalada das Montanhas de Mim Mesmo
Vanguart Lyrics

The lyrics of Vanguart's song "A Escalada das Montanhas de Mim Mesmo" convey the struggle of the singer to come to terms with their own identity and the choices they have made in life. The singer reflects on their long period of uncertainty, during which they were unable to know if they were truly living. They confront their reflection in the river and question who they are, whether they remember themselves and if they have forgotten something in the process. The singer seems to suggest that sometimes it would be easier not to know anything at all, to not remember or want anything.

The song takes a turn when the singer expresses the hope to rebuild everything, to believe that they can still go back to the place where they "died" and start anew. They address someone, perhaps a lover or a friend, who embodies the light of hope and gives them the courage to embark on this journey. However, the last lines of the song read "Não querer. Não ser... Não..." which can be interpreted as a resignation, a refusal to want or be anything, as if the journey towards self-acceptance has not come to an end.
