Navigating Life's Uncertainties with Ornatos Violeta's 'Devagar'

Ornatos Violeta's song 'Devagar' delves into the complexities of existence, self-awareness, and the passage of time. The lyrics open with a sense of uncertainty, as the singer contemplates the need for a reason to believe that life is worth living. This existential reflection is a common theme in the band's work, often characterized by introspective and poetic lyrics. The line 'Se o vento não mudar' (If the wind doesn't change) suggests a feeling of being stuck or waiting for a shift in circumstances to find meaning.

The chorus reveals a deeper layer of self-doubt and a search for light, both within oneself and in others. The singer admits to not seeing the light in themselves or anyone else, yet expresses a desire to 'touch the sky' and a wish to harm no one. This juxtaposition of personal darkness and a yearning for transcendence highlights the internal struggle many people face. The mention of 'a canção do medo' (the song of fear) further emphasizes the theme of fear and uncertainty, suggesting that time may not always bring clarity or resolution.

The recurring line 'Quando eu amo é sempre devagar' (When I love, it's always slow) serves as a poignant conclusion, reflecting a cautious approach to love and life. This slow, deliberate pace can be seen as a coping mechanism for dealing with the overwhelming nature of existence and the fear of getting hurt. Ornatos Violeta's 'Devagar' ultimately captures the delicate balance between hope and despair, urging listeners to navigate life's uncertainties with patience and care.
