Superficialidade

Lourandes' song 'Superficialidade' delves into the complexities of modern life, fame, and self-perception. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply entrenched in the superficial aspects of life—pop culture, materialism, and the relentless pursuit of pleasure. The repeated lines 'Ainda falam que eu mudei demais' (They still say I've changed too much) and 'Ainda bem que eu mudei demais' (It's good that I've changed too much) suggest a sense of defiance and acceptance of this transformation. The artist acknowledges the criticisms but also embraces the changes, indicating a complex relationship with their own identity and choices.

The song also explores themes of isolation and self-reflection. Lines like 'E eu evito os espelhos, os amigos, amo o dinheiro' (And I avoid mirrors, friends, I love money) and 'Eu choro o tempo todo' (I cry all the time) reveal a deeper emotional struggle beneath the glittering surface. The artist seems to be caught in a cycle of indulgence and regret, celebrating life through material gains while simultaneously feeling empty and disconnected. This duality is further emphasized in the chorus, where Lourandes sings about dancing and celebrating life, yet also crying and questioning their capabilities.

In the latter part of the song, Lourandes confronts their own desires and the societal expectations placed upon them. The lines 'Quando perguntam o que quer ser da vida? , costumo dizer tanto faz' (When they ask what I want to be in life, I usually say it doesn't matter) and 'Eu choro porque quero mais' (I cry because I want more) highlight a sense of existential angst and a yearning for something beyond the superficial. The artist's declaration, 'Eu não quero ser uma pessoa boa' (I don't want to be a good person), serves as a powerful statement of rebellion against societal norms and expectations, embracing their flaws and complexities as part of their artistic identity.
