Divina Comédia Humana

Belchior's song 'Divina Comédia Humana' delves into the complexities of love and existence, blending personal emotions with philosophical reflections. The title itself is a nod to Dante Alighieri's 'Divine Comedy,' suggesting a journey through the highs and lows of human experience. The lyrics open with a vivid metaphor, comparing the singer's anxiety to that of a goalkeeper during a crucial moment in a game, highlighting the intensity of his feelings when his lover enters his life like sunlight flooding a backyard.

The song contrasts the advice of an analyst, who insists that true happiness and satisfaction come from a deeper, more profound love, with the singer's own desire for a more immediate, physical connection. This tension between depth and immediacy is a central theme, as the singer repeatedly expresses his wish to be close to his lover, both physically and emotionally, rejecting the notion that love must always be profound and philosophical. Instead, he embraces a more hedonistic approach, seeking pleasure and passion in the present moment.

Belchior's lyrics also touch on existential themes, referencing the transient nature of life and love. The repeated line 'viver a divina comédia humana onde nada é eterno' ('live the divine human comedy where nothing is eternal') underscores the fleeting nature of human experiences. The song concludes with a defiant declaration of the singer's intent to continue expressing himself through song, as long as there is space, body, time, and a way to say 'no.' This final sentiment captures a spirit of resilience and a commitment to living authentically, despite the impermanence of life.
