Intro

Something between the smell of the sea

Verse 1

Something between the smell of the sea

And the house of someone I've been to

Between shyness and the wide-open

Between the mystery of the abstract

And the perfect lines of a square

You permeate what I want and what I run from

Meeting of courage with the fear of living

Danger alert in a safe place

A ship anchored in the air

We're always, somehow

Looking for somewhere to go, mindful of the next step

I guess the corners, or the corner

It's in this gaze ahead, or behind too

The doubt of what the whole could've been

That involves a choice, right?

And what makes the now and the next moment after it too

It's not past, but it's also not future

The line that splits the earth in half

The almost of our mouths that precedes a kiss

Everything you can't see of a body in the mirror

I kill guilt, you save desire

An alliance, a commitment, is our flag

Living you reveals what I hide in me

Though thirty, I keep it all here

In pauses, in suspicions, between lines

Cowardice is my weakness

And seeing you shatters me

Spreads the cards

Exposes the obvious

My two paths

Now loose

On a ship anchored in the air

(I kill guilt, you save desire

The beautiful night, the stars

Chill of the Pacific

I kill guilt

All tenderness

If I had your name)

I don't know if I just liked

Thinking of that image

And staying

Without choosing anything for a bit

Just

SONG MEANING

Anavitória paints a dream-like picture of suspension in “Navio Ancorado No Ar.” Imagine a ship hovering above the ocean, neither sailing nor docking; that is the singer’s heart as she balances between longing and caution, courage and fear. Smells of salty waves mingle with the cozy scent of a familiar home, hinting at past memories that tug her backward while new possibilities pull her forward. The listener is dropped into this floating moment where everything feels both safe and risky at once, a place where a whispered almost-kiss hangs in the air.

Throughout the song, contrasting images – timidity and openness, abstract mystery and perfect straight lines – capture the push-and-pull of deciding whether to leap into love. The “you” in the lyrics represents the irresistible force that reveals what the singer usually hides, scattering her carefully arranged cards and exposing her true desires. Just like that ship suspended above the sea, she is caught on the thin line that separates yesterday from tomorrow, savoring the sweet tension of possibilities before making the choice that will set her journey in motion.
