Só Para Loucos

Ventania's song 'Só Para Loucos' is a vibrant and surreal exploration of altered states of consciousness and the embrace of a non-conformist lifestyle. The repeated refrain 'Só para loucos, isso é só para loucos' (Only for the crazy, this is only for the crazy) sets the tone for the song, establishing a clear divide between those who are willing to explore the fringes of reality and those who are not ('Caretas não!' - No squares!). This line serves as a rallying cry for those who seek to break free from societal norms and experience life in a more unorthodox and liberated manner.

The imagery in the lyrics is rich with psychedelic references. Phrases like 'Colhendo cogumelos na varanda de cristal' (Picking mushrooms on the crystal balcony) and 'A avenida paralela toma forma de aspiral' (The parallel avenue takes the form of a spiral) evoke a sense of otherworldly experiences and altered perceptions. These lines suggest the use of hallucinogenic substances as a means to achieve a heightened state of awareness and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world from a different perspective.

The song also touches on themes of introspection and spiritual refuge. The line 'O banheiro era um refúgio, recanto espiritual' (The bathroom was a refuge, a spiritual retreat) indicates a personal space where one can escape and reflect. Additionally, the mention of 'colhendo sempre flores do espaço do universo' (always picking flowers from the space of the universe) and 'espinhos do destino fazem parte dos meus versos' (thorns of destiny are part of my verses) suggests a poetic acceptance of both the beauty and the pain that come with life's journey. Ventania's lyrics celebrate the freedom to explore one's mind and the universe, embracing the chaos and wonder that come with it.
