Lua Cheia

O Terno's 'Lua Cheia' is a mesmerizing journey through a night of surreal experiences and emotional turmoil, set against the backdrop of São Paulo. The song opens with the protagonist feeling cursed, as if a sorcerer has cast a spell on him. This sets the tone for a nightmarish, almost hallucinogenic experience where reality and dreams blur. The imagery of planets colliding and the surreal colors and forms of the night sky evoke a sense of cosmic chaos, reflecting the protagonist's inner turmoil.

The recurring motif of the full moon ('Lua Cheia') and the 'conjunção astral' (astral conjunction) suggests a powerful, almost mystical influence over the protagonist's state of mind. The moon, often associated with madness and transformation in various cultures, here acts as a catalyst for the protagonist's feverish visions and emotional upheaval. The heat emanating from the earth and the reflection of Mars in his eyes symbolize the intense, almost unbearable pressure he feels, as if the chaos of the universe is mirrored within him.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's descent into madness becomes more pronounced. The imagery of a red river flowing from his reflection in the mirror and his hypnotic state, coupled with the need for one last cigarette, paints a picture of someone on the brink of collapse. The full moon's influence is undeniable, driving him to the edge with a mix of euphoria, uncertainty, and primal desire. The song ends with a plea to the moon, asking for its name, as if understanding it could provide some relief or explanation for his delirium. 'Lua Cheia' is a haunting exploration of the thin line between reality and madness, set to the backdrop of a mystical, moonlit night.
