Para Abrir Os Olhos
Vanguart Lyrics

The lyrics to Vanguart’s song “Para Abrir Os Olhos” translate to “To Open Our Eyes” in English. It’s a melancholic song that captures the feeling of loneliness and existential crisis. The opening lines “Eu devo ir, Não há mais sentido, Nos resta se juntar” mean “I must go, there is no more sense, we must come together.” These lines can be interpreted as the artist acknowledging the inevitability of change and growth, even if it means leaving behind what is known and comfortable.

The next lines “Quem sou eu, Já não importa, Nem nunca importou” translate to “Who am I, it doesn’t matter anymore, it never mattered.” These lyrics touch on the idea that our identities are constantly shifting, and we may never truly know who we are, but that’s okay. The important thing is what breaks us apart and leaves us feeling lost and vulnerable.

The chorus “Que importa é o que te quebra em duas cidades, Que importa é o que te deixa tão transfuso” translates to “What matters is what breaks you in two cities, What matters is what makes you so transfused.” The lyrics express the idea that it’s not the pain that we experience that defines us, but rather how we respond to it and grow from it. The pain may break us, but we can come back stronger and more resilient.

The bridge “O que é a dor eu não entendo, Mas sinto apertar de leve o meu peito, Nas madrugadas quando estou a navegar” translates to “What is pain I don’t understand, But I feel it slightly tightening my chest, In the early morning when I am sailing.” These lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and the artist’s struggle to come to terms with the pain they are experiencing. It’s a powerful moment in the song that captures the complex emotions surrounding pain and loss.
