Monocromia

Lorena Chaves' song 'Monocromia' challenges the conventional notion that only sunny days are beautiful. The lyrics open with the common belief that a beautiful day must be sunny and bright, while cloudy days are often seen as sad, lazy, and depressing. However, Chaves invites listeners to reconsider this perspective, suggesting that there are aspects of life that can only be understood when the weather is gloomy. This metaphor extends to emotional and mental states, implying that moments of sadness and introspection can reveal hidden depths and beauty.

The song's chorus, 'Deixa vir o dia cinza' (Let the grey day come), encourages acceptance of these less vibrant days. Chaves poetically describes how the 'verses of fog' and 'patches' can bring healing to those who are grieving. The grey skies serve as a reminder of what truly matters, highlighting the beauty found in the wrinkles of one's face and the soul's depth. This suggests that true peace and understanding come from embracing all aspects of life, not just the sunny, happy moments.

As the song progresses, Chaves reiterates the idea that the few colors in the sky can remind us of what is important. The 'monocromia' (monochrome) of life, often seen as dull or melancholic, can transform into glory when we learn to appreciate it. The song ultimately conveys a message of hope and resilience, encouraging listeners to find beauty and peace in every moment, regardless of its outward appearance. By embracing the grey days, we can uncover the hidden poems and beauty within ourselves and our lives.
