Below, I translated the lyrics of the song O Lado Escuro Da Lua by Capital Inicial from Portuguese to English.

There's always something wrong

Sometimes what's left is what we're missing

Something we don't see, don't feel

Everything we don't have, yet we pretend

I almost did what I wanted

I almost had something I could

Again that almost, that always, that nothing

With me on this long and winding road

Running like a lunatic

There's always so little missing

To lose your mind

With eyes closed

In the middle of your street

Daydreaming

On the dark side of the moon

With eyes closed

In the middle of your street

Daydreaming

On the dark side of the moon

Glass half full, glass half empty

The body only warms up when the air is cold

I don't wanna remember that it makes no sense

Or regret not having lived

Life is long, life is short

When everybody talks and nobody listens to me

Blind people who don't know where they're going

Here's one more in that crowd

Running like a lunatic

There's always so little missing

To lose your mind

With eyes closed

In the middle of your street

Daydreaming

On the dark side of the moon

With eyes closed

In the middle of your street

Daydreaming

On the dark side of the moon

I was thirsty, they gave me gasoline

I ask for nothing, they give me even less

I guess I didn't really get it

The perfection of the imperfect

I complain

I regret

I revolt

I surrender

Wanting what couldn't have been

To be made of steel and not of glass

Running like a lunatic

There's always so little missing

To lose your mind

With eyes closed

In the middle of your street

Daydreaming

On the dark side of the moon

With eyes closed

In the middle of your street

Daydreaming

On the dark side of the moon

SONG MEANING

Capital Inicial turns everyday frustration into an electrifying anthem of self-discovery. O Lado Escuro Da Lua paints the picture of someone who is always one step away from what they want: "quase" (almost) becomes a recurring echo, cups are half full yet half empty, and gasoline is offered when they only asked for water. The lyrics race down a "long and winding road," capturing that restless feeling of running like crazy, losing reason, and wondering why life’s pieces never seem to fit.

The “dark side of the moon” is a metaphor for the hidden corners of our own minds, where we dream with our eyes shut even while standing in the middle of the street. It is a place of contradictions—wishing to be made of steel, not glass; craving perfection while admiring the imperfect. In the end, the song invites listeners to embrace life’s messy beauty and keep moving forward, even when everything feels just out of reach.
