Humana

Sevdaliza's song 'Humana' delves deep into the essence of what it means to be human, exploring themes of vulnerability, identity, and the struggle against societal expectations. The lyrics, written in Portuguese, emphasize the physical and emotional aspects of being human. Sevdaliza begins by listing fundamental human traits: 'Eu sou, eu tenho / Eu inspiro / Eu respiro' (I am, I have / I inspire / I breathe). This sets the stage for a profound exploration of self-awareness and the intrinsic qualities that define our humanity.

The song's chorus, 'Eu sou carne, ossos / Eu sou pele, alma / Eu sou humana / Nada além de humana' (I am flesh, bones / I am skin, soul / I am human / Nothing but human), underscores the raw and unfiltered nature of human existence. Sevdaliza highlights the imperfections and the physicality of being human, acknowledging sweat, flaws, veins, and scars. This portrayal is a stark reminder that despite societal pressures to appear perfect, our humanity is rooted in our imperfections and our physical and emotional experiences.

Sevdaliza also touches on the coldness of the industry and the judgmental eyes that scrutinize her. The line 'A indústria é tão fria / Não consigo lidar comigo mesma / Como não falhar' (The industry is so cold / I can't handle myself / How not to fail) reflects the harsh realities of the music industry and the constant pressure to succeed. This adds a layer of personal struggle to the song, making it not just a reflection on humanity in general but also a commentary on the artist's own experiences. Through 'Humana,' Sevdaliza invites listeners to embrace their humanity, with all its flaws and vulnerabilities, and to find strength in their true selves.
