Eu Não Gosto de Ninguém

Matanza's song 'Eu Não Gosto de Ninguém' is a raw and unapologetic expression of alienation and emotional detachment. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and resignation, as the narrator explicitly states their disinterest in forming connections or fulfilling others' expectations. The repeated refrain 'Eu não gosto de ninguém' (I don't like anyone) underscores the depth of their disconnection from those around them.

The song opens with a clear message: 'Não me faça nenhum favor / Não espere nada de mim' (Don't do me any favors / Don't expect anything from me). This sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, which emphasize the narrator's unwillingness to engage with others or conform to societal norms. The lines 'Como se eu tivesse prometido / Alguma coisa pra você' (As if I had promised / Anything to you) highlight the narrator's refusal to be held accountable for others' expectations, reinforcing their stance of emotional independence.

Throughout the song, the narrator acknowledges their own flaws and limitations, stating 'Não se conserta o que já nasce com defeito' (You can't fix what is born defective). This metaphor suggests a deep-seated belief in their own inability to change or improve, further isolating them from those who might seek to help or understand them. The repeated verses about controlling anger and living with pain ('Mesmo que eu pudesse controlar a minha raiva / Mesmo que eu quisesse conviver com a minha dor') reveal a struggle with inner turmoil, yet a resignation to remain unchanged.

Matanza's musical style, often characterized by its blend of punk rock and country influences, complements the raw and gritty nature of the lyrics. The aggressive instrumentation and driving rhythm mirror the intensity of the narrator's emotions, creating a powerful and cohesive expression of alienation and defiance. 'Eu Não Gosto de Ninguém' stands as a stark declaration of self-imposed isolation and the complexities of dealing with internal and external pressures.
