Eu Não Sei Lidar

Fresno's song 'Eu Não Sei Lidar' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and existential confusion that many people face. The lyrics express a yearning for peace and understanding amidst a backdrop of internal and external chaos. The opening lines, 'Eu quero paz / Cessar-fogo, armistício, tanto faz,' set the tone for a desperate search for tranquility. The singer reflects on past experiences and memories, indicating a sense of loss and disillusionment with the world around them. This is further emphasized by the lines, 'Me separaram / De tudo que eu pude acreditar,' suggesting a separation from previously held beliefs and dreams, now submerged in a 'rio de lodo' (river of mud) that never reaches the sea, symbolizing unfulfilled aspirations and stagnation.

The recurring refrain, 'Eu não sei, eu não sei / Nunca soube, nunca soube lidar,' highlights the central theme of the song: the inability to cope with life's complexities. This repeated admission of not knowing how to deal with various aspects of life underscores a profound sense of helplessness and confusion. The lyrics also touch on the societal expectation to 'disfarçar' (disguise) one's true feelings and struggles, which only adds to the internal conflict. The singer's frustration is palpable as they acknowledge that life is a game they don't know how to win, and they are left with unresolved wounds and unanswered questions.

The song culminates in a powerful declaration of the chaotic nature of existence: 'Que guerra é essa? / Que porra é essa? / A nossa natureza é o caos.' This raw and candid expression captures the essence of the human condition, where despite efforts to find order and meaning, chaos remains an inherent part of life. Fresno's 'Eu Não Sei Lidar' resonates with anyone who has felt overwhelmed by the complexities of their emotions and the world around them, offering a poignant reflection on the struggle for self-understanding and peace.
