Mais

Capital Inicial's song 'Mais' delves into the human condition of perpetual dissatisfaction and the relentless pursuit of something greater. The lyrics paint a picture of a cold, strange world where perfection is always just out of reach, symbolized by the phrase 'Podia ser perfeito, mas foi quebrado' (It could have been perfect, but it was broken). This sense of brokenness and falling into the void reflects the existential angst and the feeling of being on the wrong side of life, where nothing seems to fit or make sense.

The chorus, 'Eu sempre quero mais que hoje, Eu sempre quero mais que ontem, Eu sempre quero mais do que eu posso ter' (I always want more than today, I always want more than yesterday, I always want more than I can have), encapsulates the core theme of the song. It speaks to the insatiable human desire for more—more experiences, more achievements, more fulfillment. This yearning is not just for material possessions but also for intangible things like words, promises, and what the world can offer. The repetition of 'I want more' emphasizes the never-ending cycle of desire and the inherent dissatisfaction that comes with it.

The song also touches on themes of unpredictability and chaos, as seen in lines like 'Agora é cinza, Imprevisível' (Now it's gray, unpredictable) and 'Descontrolado' (Out of control). These elements highlight the uncertainty of life and the difficulty in finding stability or contentment. The idea of singing 'the new anthem of the discontented' suggests a collective experience of this dissatisfaction, making it a shared human condition rather than an individual struggle. Capital Inicial, known for their rock sound and socially conscious lyrics, uses 'Mais' to explore these deep, universal themes in a way that resonates with many.
