Eu Amo Os Lugares Altos
Erick Mathias
Finding Home in the Heights of Spirituality
The song "Eu Amo Os Lugares Altos" by Erick Mathias is a heartfelt expression of spiritual awakening and gratitude. The lyrics convey a narrative of being found and embraced by a higher power, symbolized through the acts of being given bread, seated at a table, and called a son. This imagery is reminiscent of religious and spiritual motifs, particularly from Christian theology, where bread often represents sustenance and life, and being seated at a table suggests inclusion and acceptance within a family or community.
The repetition of the question, "Como eu não me lembrarei de Ti?" which translates to "How will I not remember You?" emphasizes the deep impact of this spiritual encounter and the artist's commitment to never forget the transformation experienced. The song's title, which means "I Love the High Places," further reinforces the idea of elevation—both literally and metaphorically. It suggests a preference for dwelling in a state of higher consciousness or closer to the divine.
The final lines, "Eu encontrei o meu lugar" or "I found my place," signify a sense of belonging and peace. The artist has discovered where he feels most at home, which is in the spiritual heights, a place of comfort and fulfillment. The song, therefore, is a celebration of finding one's spiritual home and the joy that comes from this profound connection.
