4 Taste

The song '4 Taste' by the band 4Taste delves into the profound emotions of longing and the desire for connection. The lyrics express a deep yearning to be close to someone, rejecting the idea of distance and solitude. The repeated lines, 'Eu não quero olhar pr'a trás / Sem te ver' (I don't want to look back / Without seeing you), emphasize the importance of this person in the singer's life and the pain of their absence. This repetition underscores the emotional weight and the central theme of the song: the fear of moving forward without the presence of a loved one.

The imagery of being alone in front of a mirror ('Sozinho ao espelho') highlights the introspective nature of the song. It suggests a moment of self-reflection where the singer confronts their feelings of loneliness and the lack of meaning without the other person. The mirror serves as a metaphor for self-examination and the realization of how integral the other person is to their sense of self and purpose.

The lyrics also touch on the concept of time and space, with the lines 'Se o meu tempo fosse, o teu espaço / Nós seriamos, o infinito' (If my time were your space / We would be infinite). This poetic expression conveys the idea that their connection transcends physical boundaries and time constraints. The notion of their world stopping and the desire to return to a moment of unity ('Sinto que o nosso mundo parou / Num segundo eu grito querer / Voltar') further illustrates the depth of their bond and the longing to recapture what was lost. The song captures the essence of love, loss, and the enduring hope for reconnection.
