Let me see you, I don't follow what I think

I know it's past time, and

It unfolds while the smoke rises

It's ocean sound, I noticed, didn't wanna leave

Oh, lift and lift me

The breeze, that extra feeling

How long has pain traveled through time?

Life runs, life goes by and doesn't even hide

Didn't even notice the sun set and wants to talk about love

I like seeing the sky's red color

When at dawn fate's uncertain

Open chest, my desert

I don't know, maybe I really don't get it

I'm a paper city, your ego doesn't see me

There's a lot of life out there now, lots of life there

Balance is peace, it's a cool head

It's the best life brings

Maybe I really don't understand

Let me see you, I don't follow what I think

I know it's past time and

It unfolds while the smoke rises

It's ocean sound, I noticed, didn't wanna leave

Call, call

The world up north, long live the kings

Cynthia Luz, Sant, go

Hey, love, bring me a glass of water for me, please

'Cause today I'll stop to compose, write till I decompose

And I'll cry till I recompose

Our truth will save us, that's it

But in the street you need a permit, what's that about?

They staked out our land, wars on wars

I know what that will cause, greed that won't stop

It's not vice, it's lust, and every second it compares

Life's getting pricier, death's on sale, take advantage

Hell's already here, anything's better

Accept it, it hurts less, way less, believe!

Words have power, money and dynamite

Even if that irritates you at first

Listen two more times, you'll see it'll make sense on the third

I'll sing wherever my voice goes

I hope to find you there someday

So easy to see the world's a prison

And that these tall buildings are an invite to suicide

Up in the air, look how many floors

Protect yourself when you walk, when you gaze

Retina, routine or boredom?

Social on the app, the hug's future, harassment

Up in the air, look how many floors

Protect yourself when you walk, when you gaze

Let me see you, I don't follow what I think

I know it's past time and

It unfolds while the smoke rises

It's ocean sound, I noticed, didn't wanna leave

Let me see you, I don't follow what I think

I know it's past time and

It unfolds while the smoke rises

It's ocean sound, I noticed, didn't wanna leave

SONG MEANING

Olhares (which translates to Glances) invites you to step out of your own head, breathe in the salt-tinged air, and simply observe. Over a dreamy, wave-like beat, Sant and Cynthia Luz paint a sunset-colored scene where smoke drifts upward, the sea hums in the background, and time feels slippery. The chorus – “Me deixa te ver, eu não sigo o que penso” – is a plea to look beyond thoughts and schedules, to reconnect with that instant when the sky turns red and balance feels possible.

Yet the calm is fragile. In their verses the artists pull the curtain on city life: towering buildings that suffocate, greed that inflates prices, social apps that replace real hugs, and a world that can feel like a prison. They remind us that words carry dynamite, truth can still save us, and staying awake is an act of resistance. “Olhares” is both a laid-back sonic sunset and a sharp-eyed social critique, urging you to keep your mind clear, your heart open, and your gaze alert while the world keeps spinning.
