Carnaval
mila marinho Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tem máscaras de sobra pra gente
se esconder atrás
nem se preocupe

e o som é ensurdecedor pra que
eu não ouça nada
na minha mente

e nesse espaço-tempo eu finjo
que tudo que eu mais odeio
nem mesmo existe

as cores se misturam
como um bloco assombrado
e tudo me lembra a gente

bom seria se eu encontrasse
paz só por uns dias
eternamente

mas todos os confetes e todas as serpentinas
e o meu corpo em queda livre
encontram o chão

e eu nem saí de casa nesse carnaval
e eu nem me levantei desde então

Overall Meaning

In "Carnaval," Mila Marinho reflects on the masks we wear to hide our true selves during the festive season. She assures us not to worry because there are plenty of masks available for us to hide behind. The overwhelming sound of the carnival serves as a distraction, preventing her from hearing anything in her own mind. In this chaotic space-time, she pretends that everything she despises doesn't even exist.

The colors of the carnival blend together like a haunted carnival troupe, reminiscent of memories of past relationships and experiences. Everything she sees and hears reminds her of someone or something significant. Despite this, she yearns for peace, hoping to find it even if only for a few days, or perhaps even eternally.

However, amidst the festivities, the confetti and streamers symbolize the temporary joy and excitement that quickly fades away. The singer's body metaphorically falls from the heights of excitement, crashing back down to reality. She confesses that she hasn't even left her house during this carnival, and since then, she hasn't found the motivation to get up from her current state of despair or apathy.

These lyrics convey a sense of disillusionment and dissatisfaction with the superficiality of the carnival atmosphere. Mila Marinho artistically captures the desire for genuine connection and meaningful experiences amidst the temporary joy and chaos of the carnival.
