Seem love or not I'll follow you to take away my doubt Breath in the water See through the lights they weave the real connection It's easier to interpret in no one's languages The night descends Acceptance comes to end It feels like a friend It's hard to pretend Is it my real nature? Feels like a friend But those three worn words It's hard for me to utter Break away Try to escape Life’s hard above I can feel but I never show the same as you know And why I lose the sight in life without a hide And I I'll leave you here Ignore the harmonize

about

"Meia Lua à Beira Mar" is Portuguese, meaning "Half Moon by the Sea".
This scene, reflected in the album title, originated from Noooodle King's dream. Coincidentally, "Meia Lua" and "Beira Mar" are also significant symbols in Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art that profoundly influences his music: "Meia lua de compasso" is one of the iconic movements, and the seaside is a recurring location in Capoeira lyrics.
The half moon hanging over the beach becomes the stage for the entire story.

The album "Meia Lua à Beira Mar" is filled with contradictory opposition and harmonious unity.
It is a fictional coming-of-age story and, at the same time, a record of real-life experiences; through the process of self-exploration, collapse, and reconstruction, it establishes a declaration of the true self. This album represents Noooodle King's collective experiences over the past year, embodying roles such as a musician, creator, and Capoeirista, marking a fresh beginning in his musical career.

The album contains two independent yet intertwining storylines:
One explores the internal exploration of the self, attempting to describe the author through fragmented depictions using various words for "I" in different languages. The recognition of the self is established and overturned on various levels, encompassing subject-object, feminine and masculine, ultimately merging into one.
The other storyline delves into the external influences on the self, documenting four tearful moments Noooodle King experienced as a Capoeirista during his first event. The protagonists of these four moments influence and inspire him, leaving imprints of growth.
These two storylines exist independently yet are two sides of the same coin, intertwining and influencing each other over time, serving as an exploration of the inner and outer worlds.

This interplay is also reflected in the final presentation of the album, as Noooodle King chooses to narrate the stories in ways that better suit different mediums. Therefore, the streaming version takes the form of an overall narrative montage, while the physical cassette version uses the dual-sided nature of the tape to separately narrate two stories from internal and external perspectives: "The Exploration Within" and "Lágrimas no Batizado".

The half moon hanging over the beach, struck by the tides, echoes the essence of "I".

------

“Meia Lua à Beira Mar”是葡萄牙语，意为“海边的半月”。
—— 这个映射在专辑名的场景源于 Noooodle King 的梦境，巧合的是，“Meia Lua”和“Beira Mar”也分别是（使其音乐创作深受影响的）巴西战舞中重要的意象：“Meia lua de compasso”是巴西战舞中标志性的动作之一；而在巴西战舞的歌词中，海边是经常出现的地点。
这片半月悬空的海岸，成为了整个故事的舞台。

专辑《Meia Lua à Beira Mar》充满矛盾的对立与和谐统一。
它是一个虚构的成长故事，同时也是真实生活的记录；通过自我探索、崩塌和重塑的过程，它确立了真实自我的宣言。这是作者 Noooodle King 在过去一年中作为音乐人、创作者和巴西战舞练习者等身份对生活点滴的汇总，也是其音乐生涯的全新开始。

专辑亦包含着两条独立但相互交融的故事线：
一条是对自我的内在探索，通过几种语言中的单词“我”，试图对于作者本人进行碎片化的描述，对“我”的认知在主客、阴阳等各个层面中建立又推翻，最终合而为一；
另一条是外在世界对自我的影响，记录了 Noooodle King 作为巴西战舞练习者在第一次参加活动时经历的四个流泪瞬间。这四个瞬间的主人公影响并启发了他，留下了成长的印记。
两条故事线独立存在，却又是一体两面，在时间上相互交错、相互影响，是对内外世界的探讨。

这种交错也体现于专辑的最终呈现，Noooodle King 选择以更符合不同媒介特点的方式来分别叙述故事。因此，流媒体版本是整体叙事的蒙太奇，而实体磁带版本则利用卡带的双面特性，分别从内在和外在两个角度讲述了两个故事：“The Exploration Within” 和 “Lágrimas no Batizado”。

这片半月悬空的海岸，被潮汐拍打着，是“我”的回响。
