Picture life as an old-school video game where you start with seven precious lives. In Setevidas, Brazilian rocker Pitty sings from the point of view of a heroine who has already lost four of those lives in just five turbulent months. She paints vivid scenes of a “red sea”, frozen pupils, and emotional tsunamis that drag her from bedroom to bathroom. Each near-death moment is both literal and metaphorical: break-ups, illnesses, or bouts of depression that feel like fatal blows. Yet, even while pale, sick, and beaten, she refuses to press the quit button.
The chorus becomes a triumphant checkpoint. Pitty admits she is “a little sadder” but also “much stronger,” claiming her remaining três vidas with fierce determination. The song’s message is clear: resilience is messy, tiring, and sometimes ugly, but it is also powerful. Setevidas invites listeners to embrace their scars, treat setbacks as experience points, and keep fighting until the very last life is spent.
