Pros Que Estão Em Casa

Hojerizah's song 'Pros Que Estão Em Casa' paints a vivid picture of disillusionment and a yearning for escape. The lyrics open with the protagonist waiting for a phone call early in the morning, symbolizing a sense of anticipation and hope. However, this hope is quickly overshadowed by the futility of their actions, as they metaphorically 'cover the sun with a sieve,' indicating an attempt to ignore or mitigate an inevitable reality. The decision to skip morning routines and instead turn to alcohol ('aguardente') reflects a deeper sense of despair and a desire to numb the pain of daily life.

The song continues with a juxtaposition of mundane greetings ('Bom dia, boa tarde, Good night') and a desire for rebellion ('quero dar um tapa'). This contrast highlights the protagonist's internal conflict between conforming to societal norms and breaking free from them. The mention of 'Nova York internada' suggests a longing for a different life, perhaps one that is more exciting or fulfilling, yet it remains out of reach, symbolized by the city being 'hospitalized' or inaccessible.

The final verses reveal a failed relationship ('meu amor nao deu em nada') and a sense of emptiness ('nem sobrancelhas eriçadas'). The imagery of a car exhaust without smoke ('nem fumaça tem cano de descarga') serves as a metaphor for a life devoid of passion or purpose. The song captures the essence of disillusionment, the struggle to find meaning, and the futile attempts to escape from a monotonous existence. Hojerizah's poignant lyrics resonate with anyone who has felt trapped by their circumstances, yearning for something more but finding only emptiness in their pursuit.
