Revelação

Engenheiros do Hawaii's song 'Revelação' delves into the complex nature of suppressed emotions and the inevitability of their resurgence. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a day cloaked in 'saudade,' a Portuguese term that encapsulates a deep, melancholic longing. This day, filled with nostalgia, has the power to resurrect past experiences and emotions that were once buried. The imagery of 'casas mal vividas' (poorly lived houses) and 'camas repartidas' (shared beds) suggests relationships and moments that were not fully realized or appreciated, now coming back to the surface.

The song explores the futility of trying to suppress these emotions. The repeated lines 'Quando a gente tenta / De toda maneira dele se guardar' (When we try / In every way to keep it) highlight the struggle to contain these feelings. Despite efforts to isolate, kill, or silence them ('Sentimento ilhado, morto e amordaçado'), these emotions inevitably return to disturb one's peace. The repetition of 'Volta a incomodar' (It comes back to bother) emphasizes the persistence and inevitability of these feelings.

Engenheiros do Hawaii, known for their introspective and often philosophical lyrics, use 'Revelação' to remind listeners that emotions, no matter how deeply buried, have a way of resurfacing. The song serves as a poignant reflection on the human condition, where past experiences and feelings are an integral part of our present, no matter how much we try to hide them. The band's unique blend of rock and Brazilian music elements adds a layer of depth to this introspective journey, making 'Revelação' a powerful exploration of emotional revelation and the human psyche.
