Rediscovering Life's Colors: A Journey Through Rashid's 'Ver Em Cores'
Rashid's song 'Ver Em Cores,' featuring Liniker, is a poetic exploration of longing for a more vibrant, authentic existence. The lyrics open with a simple yet profound greeting, 'Bom dia,' setting a tone of personal connection and introspection. Rashid expresses a desire to 'caber no amor, sem perguntar' (fit into love without asking), suggesting a yearning for unconditional acceptance and a return to a more natural, unfiltered way of experiencing life. This theme is reinforced by the repeated wish to 'ver em cores outra vez' (see in colors again) and 'sentir a brisa' (feel the breeze), evoking a sense of renewal and sensory awakening.
The song contrasts the warmth and vibrancy of this desired state with the cold, mechanical reality of modern life. Rashid laments the loss of poetic beauty in a world dominated by 'programações que a antena sintoniza' (programs that the antenna tunes into), which offer nothing but news for 'figurões de terno' (bigwigs in suits). He critiques the superficiality and isolation of contemporary society, where 'a humanidade anda em modo silencioso' (humanity walks in silent mode) and genuine human connection is scarce. The metaphor of a bird's 'voo, mágico' (magical flight) symbolizes the freedom and spontaneity that Rashid longs for, contrasting sharply with the 'liberdade de um bicho no zoo-lógico' (freedom of an animal in the zoo-logical).
Throughout the song, Rashid reflects on personal memories and the passage of time, using vivid imagery to convey his emotions. The 'alaranjado do azulejo' (orange of the tile) in his kitchen reminds him of past summers filled with laughter and travel, highlighting the stark difference between those joyful moments and the present sense of isolation. The reference to 'essa solidão é tão 2020' (this loneliness is so 2020) poignantly captures the collective experience of solitude during the pandemic. Ultimately, Rashid's 'Ver Em Cores' is a call to rediscover the beauty and richness of life, to reconnect with others, and to embrace the full spectrum of human experience.
