Dossel

Rosa de Saron's song 'Dossel' delves deep into the emotional and psychological struggles of an individual grappling with inner turmoil and existential questions. The lyrics are a poignant exploration of confusion, loss, and the search for meaning. The repeated questioning—'Onde?' (Where?) and 'Porque?' (Why?)—reflects a profound sense of disorientation and yearning for answers that seem elusive. This sense of searching is further emphasized by the imagery of a 'dossel' (canopy or veil), symbolizing a protective layer that has fallen, leaving the individual exposed and vulnerable.

The song contrasts moments of calm with chaos, silence with noise, and attachment with detachment, illustrating the extremes of human experience. The lines 'Quando não é calmaria, é a tempestade' (When it's not calm, it's a storm) and 'Quando não é a saudade, é o desapego' (When it's not longing, it's detachment) highlight the oscillation between opposing states of being. This duality underscores the complexity of emotions and the difficulty in finding balance or peace.

The lyrics also touch on the paradox of change and stagnation. The questions 'Como é possível mudar tanto e não ser capaz de nada mudar?' (How is it possible to change so much and yet not be able to change anything?) and 'Como é possível esquecer tudo que queria lembrar?' (How is it possible to forget everything you wanted to remember?) speak to the frustration of personal growth that feels futile. The song captures the essence of an internal struggle where the desire for transformation is met with the harsh reality of inertia, leaving the individual in a state of existential limbo.
