Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cabeleira enrolada
O pé correndo o tempo
A sombra que se estende
Me murmura na fronte
Eis teu retrato, vês?
É assim que tu és
Te escrever isso eu quero
Tu creias ao dizeres
Que eu bem te conheci
Carne, d'alma enleada
Cabeleira enrolada
Os pés correndo o tempo
A sombra que se estende
Me murmura na fronte
Eis teu retrato, vês?
É assim que tu és
Te escrever isso eu quero
Pra que, já noite, aí
Tu creias ao dizeres
Que eu bem te conheci
It is important to note that the lyrics provided are in Portuguese. When translated to English, the lyrics describe a scene of someone running through time, with their hair and soul twisted and gathering shadows that whisper to them, saying "Here is your portrait, do you see? This is how you are". The singer of the song then mentions that they want to write this down, so that when night comes, they can say that they knew the person well.
The lyrics of this song are deeply introspective, and explore themes of identity and self-perception. The image of running through time with twisted hair and soul suggest a struggle to maintain one's identity and sense of self in the face of the passing of time. The reference to a shadow whispering and offering a portrait is intriguing as it suggests that the singer is gaining insight into their own identity by engaging with their own shadow self.
Overall, the lyrics to "e.t" suggest a deep and poetic exploration of themes of identity and self-perception. While they were originally written in Portuguese, these themes are universal and can be appreciated by listeners of any language.
