Lugar Distante

Matuê's song 'Lugar Distante,' featuring 30PRAUM, delves into the escapism and altered states of consciousness often sought through substance use. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a mental and physical journey away from the stresses and negativities of everyday life. The opening lines set the tone, describing the artist's use of marijuana to spark creative thoughts, even if they sometimes seem directionless. This sets the stage for a narrative that explores the desire to disconnect from reality and find solace in a 'distant place.'

The chorus emphasizes this theme of escapism, with Matuê describing a freestyle journey to a far-off place where problems become irrelevant. The imagery of driving a white Camaro and the act of 'bongando' (smoking from a bong) symbolize a carefree, almost rebellious attitude towards life. The mention of 'freestyle' suggests a spontaneous, unplanned adventure, further highlighting the desire to break free from routine and constraints. The lyrics also touch on the sensory experience of music, with the sound from the speakers making problems seem insignificant, encouraging listeners to 'feel the vibe.'

In the latter part of the song, Matuê continues to explore the theme of indulgence and freedom. He describes a life where financial worries are a thing of the past, and various substances are readily available to enhance the experience. The reference to seeing the sunset in the mangrove vegetation adds a touch of natural beauty to the otherwise hedonistic narrative. The repeated lines about leaving one's head in a knot suggest a desire to challenge conventional thinking and embrace a more liberated, albeit chaotic, state of mind. Overall, 'Lugar Distante' is a celebration of freedom, creativity, and the pursuit of happiness through unconventional means.
