Remédio

In 'Remédio,' Acústicos & Valvulados explore the futility of superficial solutions to deeper problems. The song's title, which translates to 'Medicine,' sets the stage for a critique of various 'remedies' that people turn to in an attempt to escape or alleviate their issues. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize that these remedies 'jamais vão curar' (will never cure), suggesting a sense of disillusionment with quick fixes and temporary reliefs.

The song mentions different substances like aspirin, amphetamines, and gasoline, each symbolizing a different form of escape or temporary solution. Aspirin, a common pain reliever, is said to only make the head rest in peace while confusion contaminates. This metaphor highlights how some solutions merely mask the symptoms without addressing the root cause. Amphetamines, often used to enhance performance or mood, are described as turning a kiss into love and love into a pill that dissolves in the mouth, indicating the fleeting and artificial nature of such highs.

The recurring comparison to a 'verso popular' (popular verse) that reaches the clouds and then dissipates in the air further underscores the transient nature of these remedies. Just like a popular saying that loses its impact over time, these solutions may offer momentary relief but ultimately fail to provide lasting change. The song's repetitive structure and haunting melody reinforce the cyclical and unending search for a cure that never truly arrives, making 'Remédio' a poignant commentary on the human condition and our constant quest for meaning and relief.
