Filho de Crente

In 'Filho de Crente,' Nice Oliveira delves into the complex emotions and spiritual struggles of someone who was raised in a religious household but has strayed from the faith. The song's lyrics poignantly address the internal conflict of a person who, despite being born into a Christian family, has not embraced the teachings of Jesus. This individual is depicted as knowing the truth but choosing a path that leads away from salvation, creating a sense of guilt and inner turmoil.

The song uses strong metaphors to illustrate the consequences of this spiritual divergence. Phrases like 'Você é filho de crente, mas não é filho da luz' (You are a child of believers, but not a child of the light) and 'O caminho do inferno, palmilhado está teus pés' (The path to hell is trodden by your feet) emphasize the gravity of the situation. The lyrics suggest that despite the person's upbringing, their choices have aligned them with darkness rather than light, and they are not innocent because they are fully aware of the truth they are rejecting.

Nice Oliveira also touches on the emotional and psychological impact of this spiritual conflict. The song describes the individual's past, attending church with their parents, and contrasts it with their current state of being an 'inimigo de Deus' (enemy of God). The lyrics express a sense of lost peace and the futility of trading divine light for worldly pleasures. The call to action in the final lines, 'Venha tomar sua cruz e venha ser filho de Deus' (Come take up your cross and be a child of God), serves as a plea for redemption and a return to faith, highlighting the hope for reconciliation and spiritual renewal.
