As Cores

Cine's song 'As Cores' delves into the emotional turmoil and journey of self-discovery following a significant loss. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist grappling with the absence of a loved one, symbolized by the wind that 'bates a porta' (knocks on the door) and the unsatisfying 'decoração branca' (white decoration). This imagery sets the stage for a narrative of longing and introspection, where the protagonist wishes to be in the place of the departed but is left to face the reality alone.

The song explores the protagonist's struggle with mental and emotional stability, as they are perceived to have 'enlouqueci' (gone mad) by others. The recurring motif of asking flowers about the end signifies a search for answers and closure in nature, which is often seen as a source of wisdom and solace. However, this quest for understanding becomes 'banal' (trivial), highlighting the protagonist's deep-seated pain and the normalization of their suffering.

Despite the overwhelming sense of loss, the colors outside serve as a beacon of hope, urging the protagonist to 'continuar' (continue). This external encouragement contrasts with the internal desire to hold onto memories, such as the photos taken in secret. The song's climax reveals a moment of self-awareness and acceptance, where the protagonist acknowledges their past mistakes and the strength of their emotions. The final verses express a plea for forgiveness and a testament to enduring love, even as the protagonist continues to navigate the 'irreal' (unreal) world without their loved one.
