Solidão

In 'Solidão,' Bispo Edir Macedo delves into the profound sense of loneliness and despair that can accompany a life of faith, especially when faced with adversity. The song is a heartfelt plea to God for salvation and relief from overwhelming sorrow and isolation. The opening lines, 'Oh meu Deus, salva-me. Porque as águas arrastam-me,' set the tone for the entire piece, depicting a person who feels as though they are drowning in their troubles, desperately seeking divine intervention.

The lyrics continue to explore themes of abandonment and suffering. The singer expresses exhaustion from constant crying and waiting for salvation, highlighting the emotional toll of enduring hardship. The repeated phrase, 'Meu rosto está marcado de tanto esperar,' emphasizes the physical and emotional scars left by prolonged suffering. This repetition serves to underscore the depth of the singer's despair and the intensity of their longing for relief.

As the song progresses, the plea becomes more personal and urgent. The singer laments the loss of friends and the feeling of being despised and alone. The lines, 'Oh não me rejeites na minha velhice, Quando me faltarem forças pra te servir,' reflect a fear of being abandoned in old age, when one is most vulnerable. This fear is countered by a declaration of faith and reliance on God, 'Em ti me refugio, pois eu só tenho a ti.' The song ultimately portrays a journey through suffering and loneliness, anchored by an unwavering faith in divine support and refuge.
