Casa

Nina Fernandes' song 'Casa' is a poignant exploration of self-discovery, longing, and the concept of home. The lyrics delve into the journey of understanding oneself, both through internal reflection and external experiences. The opening lines, 'Quis viajar de corpo inteiro / Conhecer cada segundo / Do que é ser no singular,' suggest a deep desire to fully experience life and understand one's individuality. This quest for self-awareness is marked by attentive observation and the lessons learned from the world's wounds, which teach the narrator to pray and seek solace.

The recurring theme of searching for lost pieces of oneself, 'Ah, rodo e não acho os meus pedaços,' highlights the struggle of feeling incomplete and the deeper emotional void that exists. This sense of incompleteness is juxtaposed with the powerful imagery of a loved one's scent occupying space, symbolizing the profound impact of relationships on one's sense of self. The word 'Casa' (home) becomes a metaphor for this relationship, representing a place of comfort, belonging, and identity.

The song also touches on the internal conflict of wanting to distance oneself from a significant other to find personal clarity, 'Quis te afastar do pensamento / E os minutos de coragem / Me fizeram desabar.' This struggle between independence and the pull of a meaningful connection is a central theme. The chorus reinforces the idea that despite the search for self, there is a strong desire to return to the comfort and familiarity of 'Casa.' The final lines, 'Certeza, descanso, repouso, recanto / Rebordo meu corpo pra você,' encapsulate the essence of finding peace and identity within the embrace of a loved one, making 'Casa' a beautiful ode to the intertwining of self-discovery and love.
