Acredite Ou Não

Lenine's song 'Acredite Ou Não' is a vivid tapestry of surreal and unexpected events, painting a picture of a world where the bizarre becomes the norm. The lyrics are a series of seemingly random and chaotic occurrences, from 'raposa na cabeça' (fox on the head) to 'maremoto na piscina' (tsunami in the pool). These images create a sense of disarray and unpredictability, challenging the listener to accept the absurdity of life. The refrain 'Estranho! Bizarro! Tudo isso aconteceu, Acredite, ou não... Inesperado!' (Strange! Bizarre! All of this happened, Believe it or not... Unexpected!) reinforces the theme of embracing the unexpected and finding normalcy in the chaos.

The song also touches on themes of corruption and hidden truths, as seen in the line 'Que no cofre da polícia Muita prova se escondeu' (That in the police vault Many proofs were hidden). This suggests a critique of societal and institutional failures, where the truth is often concealed, and the bizarre becomes a cover for deeper issues. Lenine's use of contrasting images, such as 'metaleiros no Maraca' (metalheads in Maracanã) and 'japonês na Apoteose' (Japanese in Apoteose), further emphasizes the unpredictability and diversity of experiences in life.

'Acredite Ou Não' also highlights the resilience and adaptability of individuals in the face of life's surprises. The line 'Quando o mar não tá pra peixe Jacaré vai de canoa' (When the sea is not for fish, the alligator goes by canoe) is a metaphor for finding alternative solutions when faced with challenges. The song's closing lines, 'Dexa que digam, que pensem que falem' (Let them say, think, talk), encourage a carefree attitude towards societal judgment and a focus on personal connections and conversations. Through its playful and thought-provoking lyrics, 'Acredite Ou Não' invites listeners to embrace the unexpected and find comfort in the shared experience of navigating a bizarre world.
