Lobos

In 'Lobos,' Jão explores themes of freedom, self-discovery, and the rejection of societal expectations. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey, both literal and metaphorical, as the protagonist follows the train tracks, symbolizing a path of exploration and movement. The slow pace allows for introspection and the ability to hear the 'howl,' a metaphor for inner desires and true self-expression. The 'strange guy' he pretended not to be has resurfaced, suggesting a return to authenticity and a break from societal masks.

The chorus questions the value of commitment when there is a whole world to see, emphasizing the allure of adventure and the unknown. The imagery of dancing and losing oneself to the point where mountains tremble conveys a sense of liberation and the powerful impact of living freely. The repeated howls ('Aah, uoh' and 'Auu') evoke the wild, untamed spirit of wolves, reinforcing the theme of breaking free from constraints.

Jão contrasts the idea of being 'slow and lost' with being 'free and beautiful,' highlighting the beauty found in freedom and self-expression. The desire to feel more, drink more, and run more encapsulates a thirst for life and new experiences. The cold night air and the act of inflating his chest to shout symbolize a release of pent-up emotions and a declaration of independence. The lyrics dismiss the opinions of others, asserting the importance of following one's own path. This song is a celebration of individuality and the courage to embrace one's true self, regardless of societal pressures.
