Among the phrases that intrigued me when I arrived in Brazil, there are "toda vida." Not the "toda vida" which means that it is for life, "toda vida" run out of steam as the singers cooing to pretend to love the life, lifetime, the same person, but the "toda vida," which tells you that you must go straight to your destination, or at least to an important crossroad where you have to change street road.
The metaphor is clear but it is so exaggerated that it becomes a caricature. Unless we see that the adventure is on the corner of the road, that death may surprise us there at the horizon of the street, the road where you drive.
