Ser Humano

In 'Ser Humano,' Steven Universo delves into the profound and universal quest for self-discovery and human connection. The song's repetitive and meditative lyrics emphasize the desire for a moment of solitude and introspection, suggesting that taking a break from the usual routine can lead to significant personal growth. The phrase 'Um tempinho só' (a little time alone) is repeated, highlighting the importance of this reflective period in the journey towards understanding oneself and one's place in the world.

The lyrics also explore the theme of dreaming and aspiration. The lines 'Algo diferente desta vez' (something different this time) and 'Um sentimento vai crescer talvez sonhando em' (a feeling might grow maybe dreaming of) suggest that through dreams and aspirations, one can envision a different, perhaps better, version of themselves. This dreaming is not just idle fantasy but a crucial part of the process of becoming 'ser humano' (being human). It implies that personal growth and transformation often begin with a vision or a dream of what could be.

Finally, the song's refrain, 'Vou ser, vou ser, vou ser, ser humano' (I will be, I will be, I will be, be human), underscores the determination and commitment to this journey of self-discovery. It is a declaration of intent, a promise to oneself to strive towards becoming more human, more connected, and more self-aware. The repetition of 'para ser' (to be) further reinforces this commitment, suggesting that the journey to becoming human is ongoing and requires continuous effort and reflection. Steven Universo's 'Ser Humano' is a poignant reminder of the importance of taking time for oneself, dreaming of possibilities, and committing to the lifelong journey of self-discovery and human connection.
