Mantra

Maglore's song 'Mantra' delves into themes of resilience, healing, and the passage of time. The lyrics open with a reference to the 'fita do Bonfim,' a traditional Brazilian ribbon associated with making wishes. This sets the tone for a song that explores the interplay between faith, luck, and the inevitability of change. The line 'A sorte é um mantra diferente' suggests that luck is like a mantra, something that can be invoked and perhaps controlled through repetition and belief. The recurring phrase 'Ah, tudo passará' reinforces the idea that all things, good or bad, are transient.

The song also touches on spiritual and emotional struggles. The mention of 'vinte anos de esmola espiritual' speaks to a long period of spiritual begging or yearning, highlighting the difficulty of finding fulfillment. The lyrics suggest that true love and happiness are elusive and often not visible ('não se enxerga em cor de Sol'). This could be interpreted as a commentary on the human condition, where desires and dreams often remain just out of reach.

Maglore uses metaphors of alchemy and magic ('As mandingas e os segredos de alquimia') to describe the process of healing a wounded heart, even one hurt by betrayal. The act of 'lavando a mente de toda tristeza' symbolizes cleansing the mind of sorrow, emphasizing the therapeutic power of time and self-reflection. The song concludes with a powerful assertion of self-worth and completeness ('Só sei ser inteiro, não sei ser pela metade'), suggesting that true resilience comes from embracing one's wholeness and not settling for anything less. This message is both empowering and comforting, offering a mantra for navigating life's inevitable ups and downs.
