Promessas e Previsões

Ana Frango Elétrico's song 'Promessas e Previsões' is a surreal and poetic exploration of perception, reality, and the passage of time. The lyrics are rich with imagery and metaphors that evoke a sense of dreamlike wonder. The repeated lines about not speaking words written on old clothes and the blue sky far on the road suggest a desire to break free from the past and embrace new experiences. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for personal growth and the shedding of outdated beliefs or habits.

The song's chorus, 'Fura o olho desse furacão, Venha pisar na grama, Venha avistar, tem aves na varanda,' invites the listener to step out of the chaos ('furacão' meaning hurricane) and into a more peaceful, natural setting. This shift from turmoil to tranquility is a call to reconnect with nature and find solace in simple pleasures. The mention of birds on the veranda and the act of humming ('cantarolar') further emphasize this theme of finding beauty and peace in everyday moments.

The surreal imagery of a cyborg witnessing a boa constrictor dying in the sea adds a layer of complexity to the song. This scene can be seen as a metaphor for the clash between technology and nature, or the inevitable decay and transformation that all things undergo. The repeated question, 'Quem que tava lá, Que pode contar,' suggests a sense of mystery and the idea that some experiences are beyond explanation or understanding. The song's title, 'Promessas e Previsões' (Promises and Predictions), ties these themes together, hinting at the uncertainty of the future and the fleeting nature of promises and predictions.
