Siderado

The song 'Siderado' by the Brazilian band Skank is a poetic expression of longing and waiting for a loved one. The lyrics convey a sense of persistent anticipation, as the narrator declares their willingness to wait for the person they love in various places and situations, from the fog and airport lounges to the summer sun and the ends of the earth. The repetition of 'Porque eu te espero' (Because I wait for you) emphasizes the steadfastness of the narrator's feelings.

The use of metaphors such as 'neblina' (fog), 'saguão' (lobby), and 'sol do verão' (summer sun) paints a vivid picture of the different environments where the narrator's longing takes place. The mention of 'cerrado' (a type of Brazilian savanna) and 'cidade invadida' (invaded city) suggests a journey through both natural and urban landscapes, highlighting the extent of the narrator's search. The chorus, with its assertion of having 'mais de um mar de provas' (more than a sea of proofs) and 'mais de um par de trovas' (more than a pair of ballads), suggests a deep emotional reservoir and a wealth of experiences that affirm the narrator's love and dedication.

The song's title, 'Siderado,' which can be translated as 'stunned' or 'astounded,' reflects the overwhelming feeling of love that leaves the narrator in a state of awe. The final verses reveal that the song was created out of a sense of absence and a need to express love, further underscoring the theme of longing that permeates the track. Skank, known for their blend of rock, reggae, and Brazilian rhythms, infuses 'Siderado' with a sense of both melancholy and hope, capturing the universal experience of waiting for someone who holds a special place in one's heart.
