The Quest for Understanding in Legião Urbana's 'Será'

Legião Urbana's song 'Será' is a poignant exploration of self-assertion and the search for genuine connection in relationships. The opening lines, 'Tire suas mãos de mim / Eu não pertenço a você' (Take your hands off me / I don't belong to you), set a tone of defiance and a declaration of independence. The narrator is making it clear that control and possession are not the paths to understanding one another. This theme of autonomy is a powerful statement about personal boundaries and the importance of respecting individuality within any relationship.

The chorus questions the nature of the relationship and the future it holds with a series of introspective questions: 'Será só imaginação? / Será que nada vai acontecer?' (Is it just imagination? / Will nothing happen?). These lines express doubt and uncertainty, reflecting the narrator's internal struggle to discern whether the emotional investment in the relationship is worthwhile or if it's all in vain. The repetition of 'Será' (Will it be) underscores the sense of hesitation and the quest for clarity.

The latter part of the song delves into the broader implications of ego and selfishness, suggesting that these traits can lead to isolation and the metaphorical creation of 'monsters.' The lyrics 'Nos perderemos entre monstros / Da nossa própria criação' (We will lose ourselves among monsters / Of our own creation) imply that the consequences of not addressing these issues could be detrimental to the relationship and to the individuals themselves. The song ultimately calls for introspection and the need to confront personal flaws to prevent them from damaging the bond between two people.
