In the Hiatus

A profound and lyrical dive into the paralysis of choice. The track explores the exact moment of suspension when human beings face vital crossroads, balancing themselves in the uncertain space between geometric reason and fragile intuition, revealing that our true essence often dwells in the silence of the gap that precedes a decision.

Behind the Scenes: "No Hiato" (In the Gap) was born from the urgency to map the invisible and distressing territory of hesitation. The creative spark was to view the gap not as a useless vacuum, but as a space of resistance and internal revelation. Amidst a forced apnea, the track suggests that intuition is a subtle thread that, however fragile, is capable of guiding the wanderer and drawing the map of the road at the very last fraction of a second.

In a calculation I measure the distance of the fall,
(Num cálculo meço a distância da queda,)

A shock, a whisper of paralysis.
(Um susto, um sopro de paralisia.)

The mind loses itself, the will closes its gates,
(A mente se perde, a vontade se veda,)

On what the heart or reason used to decide.
(No que o coração ou razão decidia.)

The target moves in the center of everything,
(O alvo se mexe no centro de tudo,)

The arm searches for a crack, a loophole.
(O braço procura uma fresta, uma brecha.)

The desire hesitates behind the wall,
(Hesita o desejo atrás do muro,)

If I stretch out my hand, what destiny is sealed shut?
(Se estico a mão, que destino se fecha?)

In sleep, the thought invades me,
(No sono o pensamento me invade,)

Of what I can do and do not want to do.
(Do que eu posso e não quero fazer.)

What I ought to do and delay out of vanity,
(Que devo e enrolo por vaidade,)

I desire what I am afraid to have.
(Desejo o que tenho receio de ter.)

The essence of me inside the gap
(A essência de mi no hiato)

Leans between fear and hesitation
(Se apoia entre o medo e a hesitação)

It is no wider than the measure of a single thread
(Não passa da medida de um fiapo)

Of the certainty I lack from intuition
(Da certeza que não tenho da intuição)

Logic knocks on the open door,
(A lógica bate na porta aberta,)

Drunk on the alcohol of unrest.
(Ébria de álcool que desassossego.)

It points to a shallow path the mind offers,
(Aponta um raso que a mente oferta,)

But in the gap, I do not deny the warning.
(Mas no hiato o alerta eu não nego.)

In the midst of the forced apnea,
(No meio da apnéia forçada,)

For a split fraction of a second,
(Por uma fração de segundo,)

The map outlines itself upon the road,
(O mapa se faz na estrada,)

Saving the life of the dying soul.
(Salvando a vida do moribundo.)

The essence of me inside the gap
(A essência de mi no hiato)
Leans between fear and hesitation
(Se apoia entre o medo e a hesitação)
It is no wider than the measure of a single thread
(Não passa da medida de um fiapo)
Of the certainty I lack from intuition
(Da certeza que não tenho da intuição)
