I was in the mood to disappear
Money, fame, all sorted out
I pretended not to, but, in fact, I care
I thought I was pretty cool

I wanted to be a unanimity
I wanted to prove my virility
I doubted my validity
In virtual insanity

I take care not to be too sensitive
Men don't cry, men this and that
I learned to be indestructible
I'm not real

Talking to my friends
I understood it's not just me
Silencing fragility is a punishment
I'm real

Take care, my brother
Of your emotions
Take care of what is real

Take care, my brother
Of your emotions
Take care of what is real

Fragile masculinity, a boy thing
I was profane and sex is divine
I was a killer of my intimacy
What a mess!

As a child, I was called a fag
As if it were an insult
How strange
I learned it was wrong to be sensitive
How innocent

I was afraid of my feminine side
I became a repressed man
Half soulless, half asleep
A phallic, self-destructive act

At the peak and feeling depressed
I saw myself betraying for having betrayed myself
I was a coward, I was abusive
I thought I was strong, but I just ran away

And I fell into pornography
This shit is addictive
It sucks your soul, empties you
And before you know it, the day has passed

And you think you should
Have another body, another dick
Anxiety comes and stays
Damn, this is not life!

Take care, my brother
Of your emotions
Take care of what is real

Take care, my brother
Of your emotions
Take care of what is real

My father was my reference of a strong man
Hardworking, generous, determined
But he always had difficulty speaking
My father's father also didn't know how to express himself

For these men we must cry
And forgive
This stored pain
Until now, as I write
It haunts me if what I say is what I should

An echo of fear
What will they say?
What will they think?

Rejection teaches early
Be very nice or they'll cancel you
What a complex this is
Mom, is it you?

I deluded myself in this image, tried to hide
I can only be this Tiago
Full of virtue, full of damage
That I caress to grow, to accept

Oh, oh
This hurt, hurt man
This violent man, violated man
Man without love, unloved man

We need to take responsibility, my friends
We create an extreme and oppressive world
Tell me, aren't we all crazy
For a hug
How tired!

Beware of excessive pride
Beware of the superiority complex, but
Beware of excuses for everything
Beware of living in eternal childishness

Beware of radical standards
Beware of normal absurdities
Beware of looking only at the sky
And closing your eyes to the hell we are capable of

Take care, my brother
Of your emotions
Take care of what is real

Take care, my brother
Of your emotions
Take care of what is real

My soul is deep and drowns in the shallow
My soul is deep and drowns in the shallow
My soul is deep and drowns in the shallow

I get dizzy, I get sad
I get little, I get rotten
I follow to the letter what it means to be a man
This doesn't exist, life insists
All the time that I rethink

What is to be a man?
What is to be a man?
What is to be a man?

What is to be a man?
What is to be a man?

There are so many and so many
And so many and so many and so many
Possible men

(Real man and not ideal)
Being a man by wanting to learn, every day
Mastering oneself
Despite any phobia: Respect

You have to have guts
You have to have balls to love right
Am I going to say no?
Waiting seated for salvation?

Connection, empathy, truth
Divine purpose: Responsibility
Lay your head on the pillow and feel peace
For having lived an honest day

Ah!
Being a man requires much more than courage
Much more than masculinity
Being a man requires choice, my brother

And then?
