Carne, Osso e Sentimento

Elana Dara's song 'Carne, Osso e Sentimento' delves into the complexities of human emotions and relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply affected by their feelings for someone else. The recurring theme of being a 'viajante distraído' (distracted traveler) suggests a sense of being lost or unfocused, which is only heightened by the presence of the person they are enamored with. This distraction is so profound that it makes the narrator forget to look at the sky, a metaphor for losing sight of the bigger picture or their own path in life.

The song also explores the duality of human nature. Lines like 'Eu sou o barulho e também sou o silêncio' (I am the noise and also the silence) and 'Eu sou a chuva e também sou o vento' (I am the rain and also the wind) highlight the multifaceted nature of the narrator. This duality is further emphasized by the statement 'Eu sou de carne, osso e sentimento' (I am flesh, bone, and feeling), which underscores the idea that humans are complex beings made up of physical and emotional components. The narrator acknowledges their vulnerability and strength, their past, present, and the fleeting moments that define their existence.

The song's emotional depth is amplified by its poetic language and metaphors. The narrator's struggle to keep their feet on the ground while their imagination runs wild reflects the universal experience of being in love. The idea that 'Tudo ao meu redor tem algo a dizer' (Everything around me has something to say) suggests that love has heightened their awareness and sensitivity to the world. This heightened state of being makes them feel as though they were born solely for the person they love, encapsulating the intensity and all-consuming nature of their emotions.
