Rumo Certo

Danilo e Fabinho's song 'Rumo Certo' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and grief experienced after the loss of loved ones. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the pain and confusion that follows such a tragedy. The repeated questioning of why such events happen ('Eu não sei porquê, que foi assim. Deus levou minha mãe e os manos de mim') highlights the struggle to understand and accept the loss. This sentiment is further emphasized by the depiction of the funeral and the overwhelming sorrow that accompanies it ('Mol choradeira naquele velório') and the subsequent descent into depression ('Bateu a neurose, entra em depressão') as the reality of the situation sets in.

The song also touches on the communal aspect of mourning. The mention of informing the community and the collective state of mourning ('E avisa os manos, da comunidade. Que nós já estamos, tudo de luto') underscores the shared nature of grief. The imagery of wearing black armbands signifies solidarity and respect for the deceased. However, the song also hints at a darker side of this communal grief, with references to seeking revenge and the presence of weapons ('Os aliados, não estão à toa. Tão tudo de fuzil, pistola e metralhadora'). This suggests a cycle of violence that can emerge from such profound loss.

Despite the heavy themes, 'Rumo Certo' also conveys a sense of protection and continuity. The lyrics express a commitment to safeguarding the family and honoring the memory of those who have passed ('Mano, tamo protegendo a família sua'). The repeated invocation for divine protection ('Deus que te proteja, protegeu') serves as a reminder of faith and hope amidst the darkness. The song ultimately captures the complex emotions of grief, from sorrow and confusion to anger and a desire for justice, while also highlighting the importance of community and faith in navigating such difficult times.
