Onde Querem Estar
Steven Universo
Finding Your Place Under the Stars
The song 'Onde Querem Estar' by Steven Universo is a beautiful ode to self-discovery and the joy of finding one's place in the world. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a serene night filled with stars, symbolizing endless possibilities and the beauty of the universe. This celestial imagery sets the stage for a deeper message about individuality and the importance of being true to oneself.
The recurring question, 'Não é legal achar pra si um lugar diferente?' (Isn't it nice to find a different place for yourself?), encourages listeners to seek out their unique paths and embrace their true selves. The song suggests that happiness and fulfillment come from being where you truly want to be, rather than conforming to societal expectations. This theme is reinforced by the lines, 'É só vocês ficarem onde querem estar' (You just need to stay where you want to be), which serve as a gentle reminder to prioritize personal happiness and authenticity.
The song also highlights the transformative power of self-acceptance. The lyrics, 'Olhem seus rostos, Eu nunca vi vocês tão bem assim' (Look at your faces, I've never seen you so well), suggest that finding one's place and being true to oneself can lead to a radiant, almost star-like glow. This metaphor of shining like stars emphasizes the inner beauty that comes from self-acceptance and living authentically. The song concludes with an invitation to 'se permitirem ser quem são' (allow yourselves to be who you are), encapsulating the core message of embracing one's true identity and finding joy in being different.
