The End of Evangelion

Bella e o Olmo da Bruxa's song 'The End of Evangelion' delves into the complexities of emotional relationships and the internal struggles that come with them. The lyrics paint a picture of a tumultuous relationship where both parties are grappling with their own issues and the impact they have on each other. The opening lines, 'Quando está tudo bem / Não há o que ceder,' suggest a facade of normalcy that hides deeper conflicts. The mention of seeing things 'pelo avesso' (inside out) indicates a desire to understand and perhaps fix what is broken beneath the surface.

The song continues to explore themes of isolation and the need for connection. Lines like 'Me dá mais uma escolha / Pra eu não me isolar' highlight the protagonist's struggle to avoid isolation and find solace in the relationship. The recurring motif of being found and calmed by the other person, 'Pode me acalmar, diz que vai ficar,' underscores the longing for stability and reassurance. This is juxtaposed with the imagery of the sky being 'de baixo dos meus pés,' symbolizing a world turned upside down, further emphasizing the emotional chaos.

The latter part of the song introduces a sense of resignation and frustration. The lines 'Larga meu violão / Odeio essa canção' reflect a rejection of the current state of affairs, while 'Estamos tão dispostos a nos esquecer / E viver cada um' suggests a mutual willingness to forget and move on. The imagery of 'Histórias frustradas / Dentre caminhos frágeis' and 'Arranha céus em volta / Do teu trono de areia' paints a picture of fragile, unfulfilled dreams surrounded by the towering, yet unstable, constructs of their lives. This poignant ending encapsulates the essence of the song: the struggle to find meaning and stability in a world of emotional upheaval.
