Meu Vício É Você

Alcione's song 'Meu Vício É Você' delves into the intoxicating and consuming nature of love. The lyrics are rich with metaphors that compare the beloved to various addictive substances, illustrating how deeply the singer is entangled in their feelings. The opening lines set the tone by contrasting natural elements like the 'perfume of the forest' and 'water from the fountain' with the artificial highs of love, suggesting that the singer's addiction is as natural and essential as these elements.

The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that the singer's 'vice' or addiction is the person they love. This is further elaborated with lines like 'I drink you, I smoke you,' which vividly depict the beloved as a substance that the singer consumes to the point of dependency. The use of the word 'vice' underscores the idea that this love, while deeply desired, is also recognized as a flaw or weakness. The singer admits to their imperfections but accepts them as part of their identity, showing a complex relationship with their own vulnerabilities.

The song also touches on the futility and inevitability of this love. Phrases like 'this drug of a dream will lead to nothing' and 'I rolled through life and ended up with you' convey a sense of resignation and acceptance. Despite knowing that this love may not lead to a happy ending, the singer is unable to break free from its grip. This duality of love as both a source of joy and pain is a common theme in Alcione's music, reflecting her deep understanding of human emotions and relationships.
