Anos 80

VMZ's song 'Anos 80' is a nostalgic journey through time, blending personal emotions with cultural references from the 1980s. The lyrics paint a picture of a tumultuous relationship, likened to the classic cartoon rivalry of Jerry and Tom. Despite the conflicts, there's a deep-seated affection, as the singer asks not to be sought out but still loved if desired. The mention of 'Opala,' a popular car in Brazil during the 80s, symbolizes a simpler, more carefree time, even if they have to walk now, embracing a 'seja o que Deus quiser' (whatever God wills) attitude.

The song's chorus invites the listener to travel back to the 1980s, a time often romanticized for its music, fashion, and cultural icons. This era is used as a metaphor for overcoming past struggles, with 'seus olhos de cristais' (your crystal eyes) serving as a beacon of hope and resilience. The singer's attempt to cheer up by dancing, despite feeling down, underscores the theme of finding joy and movement even in difficult times.

VMZ also weaves in references to iconic figures like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley, enhancing the nostalgic feel. The comparison to Thomas Shelby from 'Peaky Blinders' adds a modern twist, suggesting a life full of excitement and danger. The lyrics reflect a desire to escape the mundane and embrace the rhythm of life, even if it means not conforming to traditional expectations like marriage. The song ultimately celebrates the power of love and memory to transcend time and help overcome past hardships.
