Cresci

Rancore's song 'Cresci' is a poignant exploration of personal growth through the lens of loss and resilience. The lyrics begin with the artist reflecting on a time of innocence, encapsulated in a 'redoma' or protective bubble, where the harsh realities of life were unknown. This bubble bursts with the death of the artist's beloved grandfather, Carlos, marking the first encounter with profound sadness. The imagery of a storm flooding a garden symbolizes the overwhelming grief that follows such a loss.

The chorus reveals the artist's struggle and eventual triumph over this period of sorrow. The repeated phrase 'Eu fui mais forte, acabei superando' (I was stronger, I ended up overcoming) emphasizes the resilience and strength found in the face of adversity. The transformation of a 'corte' (cut) into a 'cicatriz' (scar) serves as a powerful metaphor for healing and the enduring marks left by life's challenges. This phase of life, though painful, is not resented; instead, it is seen as a crucial part of the artist's growth.

As the song progresses, the artist gains a deeper understanding of life's impermanence. The realization that life ends regardless of plans or precautions brings a sense of acceptance. The 'fotos cerebrais' (mental photos) of both good and bad moments highlight the complexity of experiences that shape an individual. The 'complicada matemática' (complicated mathematics) that results in the artist underscores the intricate interplay of life's events. Ultimately, the song conveys a message of finding happiness in acceptance and recognizing that growth often comes from overcoming hardships. The final lines celebrate the artist's newfound strength and freedom, encapsulated in the word 'Cresci' (I grew).
