Bem-Vindo ao Clube

Dead Fish's song "Bem-Vindo ao Clube" delves into the themes of existential reflection, acceptance, and the celebration of life's fleeting moments. The lyrics open with a sense of inevitability and resignation, questioning whether there will be another return from this point onward. The lines "Não era o que queríamos: Tudo vai ruir!" (It wasn't what we wanted: Everything will collapse!) suggest a recognition that things are falling apart, yet this collapse is met with a contemplative acceptance rather than despair.

The song transitions into a more introspective tone, where the narrator reflects on personal growth and stability despite not feeling entirely well. The lyrics touch on the mundane aspects of life, such as aging and gaining weight, but also highlight the importance of living fully in the present moment. The phrase "Em vida, viver, aqui!" (In life, live, here!) encapsulates this sentiment, urging listeners to embrace life as it is. The acknowledgment that everything has an end is met with a resolve to become better individuals, regardless of the world's state.

The chorus, "Bem-vindo ao clube! Celebrar o fim, Seja feliz!" (Welcome to the club! Celebrate the end, Be happy!), serves as a rallying cry to accept and even celebrate the end of things. It emphasizes living with intensity and appreciating the present. The song concludes with a poignant reflection on the value of relationships and the importance of cherishing those we care about, even if we can't always be together. The final toast to friends signifies a deep appreciation for shared experiences and the enduring bonds that outlast physical presence.
