Cicatrizes

In 'Cicatrizes,' Orochi delves into the complexities of love, pain, and the passage of time. The song's title, which translates to 'Scars,' sets the tone for a narrative that explores emotional wounds and their healing process. Orochi begins by reflecting on the idea that if people didn't focus solely on the positive aspects of life, they might avoid the emotional scars that come with disappointment and heartbreak. This introspective thought is juxtaposed with a hopeful note, suggesting that if he were to write their story, it would have many happy endings, indicating a desire for lasting joy despite life's inevitable hardships.

The lyrics also touch on the transient nature of life and relationships. Orochi acknowledges that he won't live forever and asks for a reason to remember his lover eternally. This plea is intertwined with his struggle to find solace in a world filled with hatred, using substances to numb his mind. The metaphor of feeling like an astronaut when he's with his lover highlights the escapism he seeks in their relationship, a temporary reprieve from the harsh realities of life.

Throughout the song, Orochi emphasizes the fleeting nature of time and the impermanence of scars. He notes that scars fade with time, suggesting that emotional wounds can heal, but the memories and lessons remain. The recurring theme of 'ódio' (hatred) and 'cicatrizes' (scars) underscores the duality of human experience—where love and pain coexist, shaping who we are. Orochi's lyrical journey in 'Cicatrizes' is a poignant reminder of the resilience required to navigate the emotional highs and lows of life, ultimately seeking peace and happiness amidst the chaos.
