Celine

Matuê's song 'Celine' delves into the complex relationship between the artist and a substance named Celine, which appears to be a metaphor for a drug or a person who has a profound impact on his life. The lyrics reveal a dependency on Celine, suggesting that without it, he struggles to find peace and sleep, even when using other substances like marijuana. This dependency is highlighted by the repeated line, 'Eu não vivo mais sem Celine,' which translates to 'I can't live without Celine anymore.'

The song paints a vivid picture of how Celine affects Matuê's mental state and daily life. He describes Celine as having a calming effect, helping him to relax and sleep. The imagery of 'de branco com a pele rosa' (white with pink skin) and 'me deixa tranquilean' (makes me tranquil) suggests a soothing, almost therapeutic presence. The mention of 'três colheres de Celine' (three spoons of Celine) indicates a ritualistic consumption, further emphasizing the depth of his reliance.

Matuê also explores the idea of escapism through Celine. He mentions how it changes his perception, making his room change colors like an iguana and operating on a low frequency with Californian weed. This suggests that Celine provides an altered state of consciousness, allowing him to escape reality. The metaphor of surfing a wave and comparing Celine to his 'Mona' (a reference to the Mona Lisa, symbolizing beauty and mystery) adds layers to the song, portraying Celine as both a muse and a source of solace.

The song's repetitive structure and hypnotic rhythm mirror the cyclical nature of addiction and the constant return to Celine for comfort. Matuê's use of language and metaphors creates a rich, immersive experience that captures the listener's attention and invites them to explore the depths of his dependency and the allure of Celine.
