Alívio Imediato

CPM 22's song 'Alívio Imediato' delves into the struggles of dealing with anxiety and the constant pursuit of quick fixes. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who tends to leave things unfinished, procrastinating in the hope that problems will resolve themselves. This behavior is driven by a sense of urgency and a desire to find immediate relief from the pressures and mistakes of the past. The repetition of the phrase 'Talvez por isso eu sempre queira resolver do jeito mais rápido' (Maybe that's why I always want to solve things the quickest way) underscores the protagonist's relentless search for instant solutions, even if they are not the most effective in the long run.

The song also touches on the impact of anxiety on memory and decision-making. The line 'A fumaça vai a mil por hora, só me atrapalha a falta de memória' (The smoke goes a thousand miles per hour, it only hinders me, the lack of memory) suggests that the protagonist's mind is clouded and overwhelmed, making it difficult to focus and remember important details. This mental fog is compounded by the fear of judgment from others, as seen in 'Vocês que não erram me condenem' (You who don't make mistakes, condemn me). The protagonist feels trapped by their past errors and the expectations of those around them.

In the latter part of the song, there is a glimmer of hope and self-improvement. The lines 'Esteja bem junto a meu lado, me diga o que não quero ouvir' (Be well by my side, tell me what I don't want to hear) indicate a willingness to face uncomfortable truths and grow from them. The protagonist acknowledges that they have changed for the better, even if the journey has been challenging. This moment of reflection and acceptance suggests that while immediate relief is tempting, true resolution and growth come from confronting and understanding one's issues.
