Escaping Reality: The Dreamy World of 'UNICÓRNIOS' by PRISCILLA
In 'UNICÓRNIOS,' PRISCILLA delves into the complexities of escaping reality and finding solace in dreams. The song opens with the artist describing a restless night, unable to sleep due to a racing mind. This sets the stage for a narrative that explores the tension between the harshness of reality and the comfort found in dreams. The repeated line, 'Vou contando unicórnios' (I'll count unicorns), serves as a metaphor for seeking peace and tranquility in a fantastical world, far removed from the pains and anxieties of real life.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a 'mundo furta-cor' (iridescent world), a place where the artist feels truly herself, free from the burdens of reality. This world is not just an escape but a sanctuary where she can be 'bem longe da dor' (far from pain). The act of counting unicorns becomes a coping mechanism, a way to lull herself into a state of calm and eventually, sleep. The unicorns symbolize purity, magic, and the innocence of childhood, elements that are often lost in the chaos of adult life.
PRISCILLA also touches on the fear of nightmares, which adds another layer to the song's meaning. The line 'Medo de dormir e o pesadelo vir' (Fear of sleeping and the nightmare coming) highlights the struggle between wanting to dream and fearing what those dreams might bring. Yet, despite this fear, the artist emphasizes the importance of dreaming, of not giving up on one's aspirations. The recurring question, 'Será dessa vez que eu vou conseguir voar?' (Will this be the time I manage to fly?), encapsulates the hope and determination to rise above challenges and achieve one's dreams, no matter how fantastical they may seem.
