Catedrais

In 'Catedrais,' Yago OPróprio delves into themes of faith, existentialism, and the search for truth. The song opens with a reflection on the mundanity of Sundays, suggesting that without mindful observation, life can become fatalistic. This sets the tone for a deeper exploration of how time and actions are perceived, emphasizing that the significance of time depends on the individual’s actions and choices. The repetition of 'Depende de quem faz' underscores the idea that personal agency plays a crucial role in shaping one's reality.

As the song progresses, Yago OPróprio describes wandering through city centers and visiting cathedrals, symbolizing a quest for spiritual and existential answers. However, he reveals a disillusionment with traditional religious figures like Jesus and Satan, expressing a desire for more concrete evidence. This skepticism is balanced by his commitment to preaching peace, indicating a personal moral compass that guides him despite his doubts. The lyrics 'Eu vou pregando a paz' highlight his dedication to spreading a message of peace, regardless of his wavering faith.

The song also touches on themes of fear, contradiction, and the complexity of human emotions. Yago acknowledges that sharing secrets or succumbing to fear can lead to contradictions and paralysis. He advises seeking guidance from one's orixá, a reference to Afro-Brazilian spiritual beliefs, suggesting that love and spirituality are deeply personal and subjective. The recurring lines about attempting to arrive and checking if the street is free from being ticketed metaphorically represent the cautious approach one must take in navigating life's uncertainties. The song concludes with a series of 'Vai, vai, vai,' evoking a sense of inevitability and the cyclical nature of suffering and expression.
