Ciclo

In the song 'Ciclo' by pumapjl, the artist delves into the complexities of urban existence, reflecting on themes of memory, solitude, and the relentless passage of time. The opening lines, 'Lembro dos que se foram, isso me causa saudade,' set a nostalgic tone, as the artist reminisces about those who have passed away, evoking a sense of longing and loss. This sentiment is juxtaposed with the fast-paced nature of city life, where there is little time to dwell on the past, as indicated by 'Meno não tenho tempo pra te falar metade.' The artist acknowledges the transient nature of experiences, many of which go unrecorded, yet they possess the capacity to endure these moments alone, navigating the city's corners in solitude.

The lyrics also touch on the desire for privacy and the search for meaning within the urban landscape. 'Viso ruas vazias, quero privacidade' speaks to the artist's yearning for solitude amidst the bustling city, while 'Agora enxergo a cidade, no fundo as qualidades' suggests a deeper appreciation for the city's hidden virtues. The mention of 'Natura entre o dedo rolou na normalidade' hints at a casual, perhaps habitual, engagement with nature or substances, adding another layer to the artist's urban experience.

The song's chorus, 'Presando a liberdade pra não virar saudade,' emphasizes the importance of cherishing freedom to avoid future regrets. The reference to 'Scott Pilgrim' and the 'dona da verdade' introduces a pop culture element, symbolizing the artist's struggle for truth and ambition. The closing lines, 'Esse caos da rotina é leve feito bigorna,' liken the chaos of daily life to a heavy anvil, suggesting that despite its weight, it is a familiar burden. The imagery of starting a new cycle, 'Começa um novo ciclo igual ano novo na orla,' encapsulates the song's central theme of cyclical renewal and the perpetual motion of life in the city.
