Mesmo Que Seja Eu

Ney Matogrosso's song 'Mesmo Que Seja Eu' delves into the themes of love, loneliness, and the human desire for companionship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has built castles in the air, dreaming of being saved from their metaphorical dragons. This imagery of castles and dragons is a metaphor for the idealized expectations and the harsh reality of life. The protagonist wakes up to find themselves alone, highlighting the disillusionment that often accompanies unmet dreams and expectations.

The song continues to explore the solitude experienced by the protagonist, who searches for the 'sword of their savior'—a symbol of hope and rescue. However, the realization dawns that no one can save them from the 'beast of loneliness.' This beast represents the pervasive and often overwhelming feeling of being alone. Ney Matogrosso's powerful voice and emotive delivery add depth to this narrative, making the listener feel the weight of the protagonist's solitude.

In a turn towards hope and connection, the singer offers solace through the 'force of his song,' suggesting that music and companionship can provide warmth and comfort. The lyrics also touch on a piece of wisdom passed down from the protagonist's grandmother: 'Philosophy is poetry,' and 'Better poorly accompanied than alone.' This advice underscores the human need for connection, even if it means settling for less than ideal. The song concludes with the singer offering himself as the companion the protagonist needs, emphasizing the importance of having someone to call one's own, even if that someone is imperfect.
