Dreams of Escape and Simple Joys in 'Eu Ja Vivo Enjoado'
Carolina Soares' song 'Eu Ja Vivo Enjoado' captures a sense of weariness with earthly life and a yearning for a simpler, more idyllic existence. The lyrics express a desire to escape the mundane struggles and responsibilities of life on Earth by moving to the moon. This fantastical idea is shared with the singer's partner, who responds positively, suggesting they build a small, humble home made of sapé (a type of thatch) and enjoy simple pleasures like having coffee together at 7:00 AM. This imagery evokes a pastoral, almost utopian vision of life, free from the complexities and hardships of their current reality.
The song also touches on themes of disbelief and skepticism. The singer admits to never having believed in such dreams and finds it hard to accept the idea of the moon coming to Earth or vice versa. This skepticism is further highlighted by the line 'tudo isso é conversa, pra comer sem trabalhar,' which suggests that such dreams are mere talk, a way to avoid the hard work required to sustain oneself. This line reflects a common sentiment in many cultures, where grand dreams are often dismissed as impractical or lazy.
The chorus, with its repetitive and rhythmic 'é hora é hora' and 'vamos embora,' adds a communal and celebratory feel to the song. It invokes a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose, as if the singer is rallying others to join in this dream of escape and simplicity. The references to 'viva meu Deus' and 'viva meu Mestre' add a spiritual dimension, suggesting that this dream of a better life is not just a personal fantasy but a collective aspiration blessed by higher powers. The song, therefore, becomes a blend of personal longing, communal spirit, and spiritual hope, making it a rich and multifaceted piece.
