Balança de Libra

Mc Hudson 22's 'Balança de Libra' is a song that delves into the theme of decision-making and the consequences that follow. The title itself, which translates to 'Libra's Scale' in English, is a direct reference to the astrological sign Libra, symbolized by the scales of justice, representing balance, decision, and choice. The song's repetitive invocation of the 'Balança de Libra' suggests a constant struggle to maintain equilibrium in life's choices.

The lyrics present a scenario where the protagonist is faced with a critical decision, symbolized by two distinct options: a book in hand or a finger on the trigger of a gun. This metaphorical crossroads represents the choice between a path of knowledge and peace versus one of violence and potential self-destruction. The artist emphasizes the urgency and seriousness of this decision, cautioning against leaving one's fate to chance, as in a coin toss, and highlighting that the outcome could be a matter of life or death.

Throughout the song, Mc Hudson 22 urges the listener to take action and make a deliberate choice, rather than sitting on the fence, symbolized by the 'muro' or wall. The repeated lines 'Não chora não, não corre não' which mean 'Don't cry, don't run away' in English, serve as a call to face the consequences of one's decisions with courage and resolve. The song is a powerful reminder that while making choices can be daunting, it is an essential part of life, and shying away from them can lead to regret and stagnation.
