There are 30 moons trying to understand
The difference between looking and seeing
I want to see
The future through the prism to know
If 30 suns can decipher
This interstellar mystery
Unlearn
Smiling while the world falls apart
When will this pass?
Or will it not pass?
Will pass
There are 30 moons trying to understand
The difference between looking and seeing
I want to see
The future through the prism to know
If 30 suns can decipher
This interstellar mystery
Unlearn
Smiling while the world falls apart
When will this pass?
Or will it not pass?
Will pass
When will this pass?
Or will it not pass?
Will pass

desaprenderunlearn

Desaprender literally means "unlearn". It's an intriguing word because it suggests an active process of letting go of something previously learned or ingrained.

In the context of the song, the artist sings about wanting to "desaprender a sorrir enquanto o mundo desabar" (unlearn how to smile while the world falls apart). This powerful phrase conveys a deep sense of disillusionment and a desire to shed a conditioned response to adversity, making it a unique and thought-provoking choice.

"Quando Isso Vai Passar?" is about sitting inside a hard stretch of time and not knowing when it ends. The singer counts it in moons and suns — thirty months of trying to understand the difference between just looking at something and truly seeing it, wishing the future itself could be read through a prism to know if enough time can ever decode this "interstellar mystery."

The chorus turns that uncertainty into a question repeated three ways: will this pass, or will it not pass, it will pass. Rather than offering a clean answer, the song settles on "unlearning" — smiling even while the world seems to be falling apart, choosing acceptance over a guarantee.

It reads as a quiet meditation on patience during a personal crisis: not a triumphant "it gets better," but the smaller, more honest hope that whatever this is, it will eventually pass.
