Song Meaning of “Conselho de mulher” by Demonios Da Garoa
‘Conselho de mulher’ by Demonios Da Garoa is a song that takes us back to an era when women had to play a passive role in society, forced to live under male domination. It reflects the plight of a woman who is living in a world where she is not given any respect or a chance to make her own decisions or express her own opinions.
The song speaks of her feeling of helplessness as she watches her male partner go out and make important decisions for the both of them, leaving her with no liberty of her own. Despite feeling a lack of power, she finds solace in that she still holds a degree of respect amongst her home and loved ones, and with that respect she still has small amount of wisdom and advice to give to those in need.
The song speaks to women all around the world, of their ability to rise up and gain autonomy despite the barriers that are put up against them. It encourages us to listen to the opinion of those who have gone before us and to use the wisdom of our ancestors to help guide us along our paths. It is a reminder that while we may not always have the power to overthrow our own oppression, we have the power to protect ourselves through the strength of our wit.
