Estrelas (feat. Carolina Deslandes)

In 'Estrelas,' Bárbara Tinoco, featuring Carolina Deslandes, delves into the complexities of emotional turmoil and the struggle for self-reliance. The song's lyrics are a poignant exploration of personal pain, resilience, and the intricate dance between fate and free will. Tinoco's plea to not 'desalinhes as estrelas' (misalign the stars) that were once aligned by a significant other suggests a deep connection to destiny and the impact of past relationships on one's current state of being. The stars here symbolize the dreams and hopes that were once shared and now seem to be in disarray due to emotional distress.

The recurring theme of seeking help and the frustration of not receiving it is evident in lines like 'Não ignores o meu choro' (Don't ignore my cry) and 'Não tu não sabes ajudar-me' (You don't know how to help me). This highlights a sense of isolation and the difficulty of finding solace in others, even those who were once close. The stars, which once guided and brought dreams, now also have the power to take them away, reflecting the dual nature of relationships that can both uplift and devastate.

The song also touches on the importance of recognizing and heeding life's signs, as seen in 'Não ignores os sinais' (Don't ignore the signs). This can be interpreted as a call to be mindful of the warnings and lessons life presents, rather than blindly continuing on a path that may lead to further pain. The repeated assertion that 'Que se foda a tristeza' (Fuck the sadness) is a powerful declaration of taking ownership of one's sorrow and the determination to overcome it. Through its evocative lyrics and emotional depth, 'Estrelas' captures the essence of navigating heartache, the quest for self-reliance, and the delicate balance between destiny and personal agency.
