A Perigo

Engenheiros do Hawaii's song 'A Perigo' delves into themes of disarray, division, and the hope for future unity. The lyrics use aviation metaphors to describe a situation that has gone awry. 'Planos de vôo' (flight plans) and 'céu de brigadeiro' (clear skies) set the stage for what initially seems like a smooth journey. However, the sudden 'Pane... pânico' (breakdown... panic) and the loss of altitude symbolize an unexpected crisis, suggesting that the stability they once had has been disrupted.

The repeated phrase 'Hoje estamos a perigo' (Today we are in danger) underscores the current state of vulnerability and division. The lyrics reflect a sense of being 'separated, divided,' which can be interpreted as a commentary on social or political fragmentation. Despite this, there is a glimmer of hope as the song looks forward to a time when 'nós seremos a maioria' (we will be the majority). This line suggests a belief in eventual unity and strength in numbers, hinting at a collective effort to overcome the present challenges.

The resolve to 'sigo em frente' (I move forward) and 'enfrentando a onda' (facing the wave) speaks to resilience and determination. The imagery of navigating through waves where 'muita gente naufragou' (many people have shipwrecked) highlights the difficulties faced but also the courage to persist. The song captures the essence of enduring through turbulent times with the hope of emerging stronger and more united in the future.
