Desandar

Boogarins' song 'Desandar' delves into the complex journey of self-discovery and acceptance, wrapped in a poetic and somewhat melancholic tone. The lyrics paint a picture of a person grappling with their identity, feeling the weight of societal expectations and the pain of hiding their true self. The phrase 'um rosto escondido na dor' (a face hidden in pain) suggests a deep-seated struggle, where the individual feels compelled to mask their true emotions and identity.

The recurring theme of 'ser quem eu sou' (being who I am) highlights the desire for authenticity and self-acceptance. However, this journey is not straightforward. The lyrics 'um belo horror' (a beautiful horror) encapsulate the paradox of self-discovery—it's both liberating and terrifying. The individual acknowledges the beauty in their true self but also recognizes the horror of confronting and embracing it. This duality is further emphasized by the line 'isso é fingir sem notar' (this is pretending without noticing), suggesting that the process of self-discovery can sometimes feel like an act, a performance, until it becomes genuine.

The song also touches on the idea of liberation through vulnerability. The line 'um gozo escondido na dor' (a pleasure hidden in pain) implies that there is a certain release and joy in facing one's pain and true self. The final lines, 'viver, eterno desandar' (to live, eternal unraveling), suggest that self-discovery is an ongoing process, a continuous unraveling of layers. This eternal journey is both a struggle and a form of liberation, as the individual learns to live authentically, free from the need to please others.
