In 1991 the lead singer and guitarist Fábio Golfetti left the band to work in other projects and in his solo career.
The band reunited in 1994 and recorded a new album ("Mulher na Montanha") a year later, but it was released only in 1999.
Luz
Violeta de Outono Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Irreal
Beleza que não seduz
Beleza que não seduz
Gnomo velho me conduz
Num vôo eterno
E tão fatal
Em véus reais
Clama o seu final
Clama o seu final
Imortais nada a mais
Lançam em ti seu sinal
Tarde demais
Descomunal
Brilho em ti
Expele seus raios em mim
Desintegrando-me enfim
Céu e luz
Dissolve o azul
Imagens de um sono irreal
Até o fim
The song "Luz" by Violeta de Outono captures a dream-like state of mind, drawing on surreal imagery to depict a sense of loss and disillusionment. The opening lines of "Céu sem luz, irreal" set the tone for the song, conveying a world without light or substance. The beauty around the singer fails to seduce and instead is conveyed as devastatingly empty. The singer is led by an old gnome on an eternal flight, but one that is ultimately fatal. The lyrics here suggest a lack of control, as if the singer is being lead helplessly towards their doom.
The second verse goes on to describe a body falling in "véus reais" or "real veils." It is as if the singer is caught between worlds, grappling with a sense of immortality that does not offer true fulfillment. The "imortais nada a mais" suggests that this divine existence ultimately amounts to nothing. Through it all, the light is both a source of beauty and a destructive force. The final lines describe the images of an unreal sleep, conveying a sense of finality in a world that ultimately dissolves into blue and light.
