Facing Reality: The Unyielding Spirit of 'Desconfio' by CPM 22
CPM 22's song 'Desconfio' delves into the complexities of understanding and confronting reality. The lyrics reflect a sense of disillusionment with ignorance and baseless judgments, highlighting the struggle to comprehend why things are the way they are. The line 'Seguir em frente, o que passou não volta mais' (Move forward, what has passed will not return) emphasizes the importance of moving on from the past and focusing on the present and future.
The song also touches on the difficulty of finding simplicity and ease in life. The repeated phrase 'Facilmente não existe por aqui' (Easily does not exist here) suggests that life is inherently challenging and not as straightforward as it might seem. Despite these challenges, the singer expresses a determination to persevere, even if it means being wrong at times. This resilience is captured in the line 'Posso até estar, errado mas não penso em desistir' (I may even be wrong, but I don't think about giving up).
A recurring theme in 'Desconfio' is the need to face reality head-on and reject lies and illusions. The chorus, 'Desconfio que foi sempre assim, Chega de mentir e de iludir, Encarar de frente é o que temos a fazer' (I suspect it has always been like this, Enough of lying and deceiving, Facing it head-on is what we have to do), underscores the importance of honesty and confronting the truth. The song suggests that this approach is ultimately more fulfilling and beneficial, as indicated by the repeated assertion that 'Desconfio que é bem melhor assim' (I suspect it is much better this way).
