Lá(r)
Marco Telles
Finding Peace and Home in Love
Marco Telles' song "Lá(r)" is a poetic exploration of peace, love, and the sense of home. The lyrics open with a vivid image of a lamb and a lion walking together, symbolizing harmony and the end of conflict. This imagery suggests a world where opposites coexist peacefully, and the mention of a soldier finding peace and storing away his weapons further emphasizes the theme of tranquility. The repetition of "Lá" (there) signifies a place or state of being where fear is absent, and peace prevails.
The song continues to delve into the transformative power of love. The lyrics describe love as something that saturates the body, yet leaves the eyes dry, perhaps indicating a profound, internalized emotion that doesn't need to be expressed through tears. The presence of a beloved's face everywhere the narrator looks suggests an all-encompassing love that brings joy and reality to life. The act of drinking and dancing with this love symbolizes celebration and the fulfillment of hope, as love becomes an inheritance of happiness and contentment.
In the final verses, the narrator speaks of having wings to fly, symbolizing freedom and the rediscovery of a lost childhood innocence. The realization that material possessions hold no value compared to the love they have found underscores the song's message that true wealth lies in emotional connections. The repeated phrase "Minha casa é você" (My home is you) encapsulates the idea that home is not a physical place but a state of being with a loved one, where one finds ultimate comfort and belonging.
