[Verse 1]
False lashes and coloured lenses in the eyes
Silk socks and flip-flops in the feet
Plastic flowers and wax fruit in the hands
Carmen Miranda without a tick for samba, but poses like no one.
[Chorus]
Who are you?
Almost nobody can see
Who dazzles with fibre plumes except for anyone but you?
Who are you?
Only God knows
Come back to life and land so we can see you
[Verse 2]
A hole in the pocket and, in the wrist, a “falsey” watch
Decayed tooth, but mint breath
Long live the powder which makes two faces apples
So tidy, whitewashed tomb, waiting a fool to see you
[Chorus]
Who are you?
Almost nobody can see
Who dazzles with fibre plumes except for anyone but you?
Who are you?
Only God knows
Come back to life and land so we can see you
Today (08/30), where I live, Cascavel, Paraná, Brazil, we’ll have
for the very first time a concert from one of the most influential Christian
rock bands in Brazil. Band that started and is still playing since 1989 with
the same lineup and smartly critic lyrics, because being a Christian means you
know how to be critic and active in society as a whole.
Their songs are timeless: regardless of what year they were
released, they always bring some message to reflect. This song today, though
not that old (2010), it makes itself even more contemporary. A generation
attached to appearance, quantity of "likes" a picture or video their
Instagram or YouTube accounts can give. These excesses hide, most of the time,
a frail personality. Someone who screams, internally, for help and attention.
I think it's curious the expression "whitewashed tomb",
because an adorned tomb is worthless. There death dwells. Life is over.
Everything inside is rotten.
Which reality are we living? Are we rotten? Do we need help?
Only one person knows us, beyond all makeup and masks we may create.
God knows our inner self and what we feel. He can put people around to help us,
we only need to accept this help.
No more masks or fallacy. Who are you?
