Ando Só

Tz da Coronel's song 'Ando Só' delves into themes of resilience, self-reliance, and the harsh realities of life in the streets. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has faced numerous challenges but remains unbroken. The opening lines, 'Você não vai me ver caído e sem saída, venço a minha briga,' set the tone for the song, emphasizing the artist's determination to overcome obstacles and change his life for the better. This sense of determination is a recurring theme throughout the song, highlighting the artist's journey from a difficult past to a hopeful future.

The chorus, 'Mano, eu ando só, eu tenho a Glock, eu tenho a gang e a fé,' reflects a complex mix of isolation and strength. The artist walks alone, armed with both physical protection and faith. This duality suggests a life where trust is scarce, and self-reliance is paramount. The mention of 'Deus guiando o meu caminho' adds a spiritual dimension, indicating that despite the tough exterior, there is a belief in a higher power guiding his path. This blend of street smarts and spirituality is a common theme in many urban narratives, where survival often requires both.

The song also touches on the superficiality of relationships in the line, 'Eles só são amigos do sucesso,' pointing out that many people are only around during good times. This sentiment is echoed in the repeated lines, 'Ninguém vai sentir sua dor, ninguém vai te estender a mão,' underscoring the loneliness and self-reliance that come with his lifestyle. The artist's trust is limited, and his heart is 'na sola do pé,' a metaphor for being cautious and guarded. The song concludes with a reflection on past memories and a sense of unresolved anger, yet it also hints at a desire for change and a better future, symbolized by the belief in the innocence and potential of children.
