Fazendo o Que o Diabo Gosta

Raul Seixas' song 'Fazendo o Que o Diabo Gosta' is a vivid exploration of unconventional love and rebellion against societal norms. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that defies traditional expectations, starting with the couple getting married in a motel, far from the sanctity of a church altar. This setting immediately sets the tone for a love that is raw, passionate, and unorthodox. The mention of 'Lua de mercúrio, fogo e mel' (Mercury moon, fire, and honey) adds a mystical and intense quality to their union, suggesting a blend of danger and sweetness.

The song delves into the complexities of their relationship, acknowledging past experiences and imperfections. The line 'Não fui o seu primeiro, você já tinha estrada' (I wasn't your first, you already had a road) speaks to the woman's past and the acceptance of her history. This acceptance is further emphasized by the sharing of fears, mistakes, and secrets, symbolizing a deep, albeit tumultuous, connection. The recurring image of a 'drunken angel in a flying saucer' who deems their love sinful adds a layer of surrealism and critique of moral judgments imposed by society.

The chorus, 'Mas a história mostra que a gente agrada a deus fazendo o que o diabo gosta' (But history shows that we please God by doing what the devil likes), encapsulates the song's central theme of finding divinity in defiance. It suggests that true fulfillment and perhaps even spiritual satisfaction come from embracing one's desires and living authentically, even if it means breaking the rules. The song's raw energy and rebellious spirit are quintessential elements of Raul Seixas' musical style, which often challenged societal norms and celebrated individuality.
