Máquinas Humanas

In 'Máquinas Humanas,' Bartô Galeno delves into the metaphor of humans as machines, exploring the emotional and existential aspects of life. The song begins by highlighting the relentless pace at which we live, likening humans to machines that are always running. This metaphor is extended by describing the heart as the engine that drives us, with time as the road we travel. The past is depicted as a 'contra-mão,' or a wrong way, suggesting that dwelling on past experiences can hinder our progress.

The singer finds himself 'estacionado, na garagem solidão,' or parked in the garage of loneliness. This vivid imagery conveys a sense of stagnation and isolation, emphasizing the emotional toll of being without a loved one. The heart, described as a sensitive engine, cannot function without the fuel of love. The plea for the loved one to 'abastecer' or refuel him underscores the dependency on emotional connection for a fulfilling life.

The song also touches on the guiding light that love provides. The loved one's eyes are described as illuminating the dark road, symbolizing hope and direction in times of uncertainty. The urgency in the lyrics, 'Se você demora eu juro, nesta estrada eu vou me perder,' reflects the fear of losing one's way without the presence of the beloved. The final plea for rescue, 'Por favor venha me socorrer,' encapsulates the desperation and vulnerability that come with deep emotional attachment.

Bartô Galeno's 'Máquinas Humanas' is a poignant exploration of love, loneliness, and the human condition, wrapped in the metaphor of mechanical existence. It speaks to the universal need for connection and the profound impact of love on our emotional well-being.
