Às Cegas no Monte

“Às Cegas no Monte” by k a m a i t a c h i is a poetic exploration of life's journey, filled with uncertainty and the pursuit of happiness. The song opens with the imagery of a train that never stops, symbolizing the relentless passage of time and the unpredictability of life. The phrase “às cegas, no monte” (blindly, on the mountain) suggests a journey taken without clear direction, emphasizing the theme of navigating through life without always knowing the destination.

The lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia and tranquility with references to the “brisa leve do vento” (light breeze of the wind) and the “perfume desse lugar” (scent of this place) that reminds the narrator of the dawn. This imagery creates a serene and almost dreamlike atmosphere, suggesting that even in the midst of uncertainty, there are moments of peace and beauty that can be cherished.

A recurring theme in the song is the contrast between the passage of time outside and the timelessness within the narrator's experience. The lines “As horas passam lá fora, mas não aqui” (The hours pass outside, but not here) and “Aqui só tem histórias de ser feliz” (Here there are only stories of being happy) highlight a space where happiness is pursued despite external circumstances. The repetition of “Mesmo que não seja hora de ser feliz, assim vamos tentando” (Even if it’s not time to be happy, we keep trying) underscores a resilient spirit, suggesting that the pursuit of happiness is a continuous effort, regardless of the challenges faced.

The song’s repetitive structure and soothing melody reinforce its themes of persistence and the search for joy. It invites listeners to reflect on their own journeys, encouraging them to find moments of happiness and peace even when the path ahead is unclear.
