Problema De Expressão

In the song 'Problema De Expressão' by Clã, the lyrics delve into the complexities and challenges of expressing love. The singer confesses that finding the right words to convey their feelings is often a struggle. This difficulty is highlighted by the comparison to cinema, where the English language always seems to fit perfectly and never betrays anyone. This metaphor suggests that in real life, unlike in movies, expressing emotions can be fraught with misunderstandings and miscommunications.

The song further explores the emotional distance that can exist even when two people are physically close. The line 'O teu mundo está tão perto do meu, e o que digo está tão longe, como o mar está do céu' poignantly captures this sentiment. It reflects the frustration of feeling that one's words are inadequate or fail to bridge the emotional gap between two people. This sense of distance is compounded by the singer's admission that their words often come out wrong, sometimes even conveying the opposite of what they truly feel.

In an attempt to overcome this 'problem of expression,' the singer turns to music. The act of creating a song becomes a means to articulate feelings that are otherwise difficult to express. The lyrics suggest that singing about love is easier and more genuine than speaking about it. This idea is encapsulated in the lines 'E é tão difícil dizer amor, é bem melhor dizê-lo a cantar.' By crafting this song, the singer hopes to communicate their love more effectively and bridge the emotional distance, bringing them closer to their loved one.
