Deixar (LUMC) / Único (part. Coletivo Candiero, Calmará, Midian Nascimento, Ana Heloysa e Daniel Alves)

Marco Telles' song "Deixar (LUMC) / Único" is a profound exploration of faith, surrender, and the journey towards spiritual fulfillment. The lyrics reflect a personal struggle between following one's own desires and surrendering to a higher calling. The narrator begins by acknowledging a choice to pursue personal dreams over divine guidance, symbolized by leaving behind the cross they were meant to carry. This metaphor of the cross represents the burdens and responsibilities of a spiritual path that the narrator initially chose to ignore.

As the song progresses, there is a pivotal moment of realization and listening, where the narrator hears a divine voice urging them to trust and follow. This marks a turning point, where the narrator decides to abandon their self-constructed life and embrace a path guided by faith. The repetition of the word "Deixar" (to leave) emphasizes the act of letting go of material and ego-driven pursuits in favor of spiritual growth and connection. The lyrics convey a sense of gratitude and humility, as the narrator acknowledges the love and sacrifice of Jesus, symbolized by "Teu amor por mim, Teu sangue sobre mim."

The song also touches on the human quest for meaning and the realization that true fulfillment comes from a relationship with the divine. The imagery of a man searching for an ideal throughout his life, only to find emptiness, contrasts with the narrator's newfound understanding that fulfillment lies in a "carne e osso" (flesh and bone) ideal, a tangible and personal connection with Jesus. The song concludes with a powerful declaration of faith, recognizing Jesus as the ultimate authority and source of peace, and expressing a willingness to let go of everything for the sake of this relationship.
