Só Nos Falta Fé

Mato Seco's song 'Só Nos Falta Fé' delves into the profound journey of self-discovery, inner peace, and the essential role of faith in navigating life's challenges. The song begins with the protagonist waking up on a rainy day, symbolizing a fresh start and the cleansing of past troubles. He views the world with the grandeur of a king, embracing the freedom that money cannot buy. This sets the tone for the song's central theme: the importance of inner freedom and the realization that true wealth lies in one's spirit and mindset.

As the protagonist continues his journey, he strives to live in harmony with his true self, aiming to shine brightly and illuminate the darkness around him. This metaphor of light and darkness represents the struggle between good and evil, and the protagonist's commitment to spreading positivity and peace. The song emphasizes that victory is not about external validation but mastering oneself. This introspective battle is highlighted by the line, 'Sabia que era mais difícil dominar a si próprio,' which translates to 'He knew it was harder to master oneself.'

The recurring message, 'Pois tudo nos é dado só nos falta fé,' meaning 'For everything is given to us, we only lack faith,' underscores the song's core belief that faith is the missing ingredient in achieving a fulfilling life. The protagonist's peaceful acceptance and his connection to the divine, referred to as 'Sião' (Zion), reflect a deep spiritual journey. The song concludes with a powerful affirmation of fighting for good and spreading peace, with the assurance that divine strength (JAH) will support those who pursue righteousness. This message resonates with the Rastafarian influence in Mato Seco's music, promoting unity, peace, and spiritual growth.
