Interfone

In 'Interfone,' Alexandre Pires paints a vivid picture of a sleepless night filled with longing and unspoken love. The song begins with the city falling asleep, yet the protagonist remains wide awake, consumed by thoughts of a loved one. The mention of reading old magazines and watching late-night TV shows like Jô Soares' interview program and Intercine highlights the passage of time and the protagonist's restless state. This setting creates a backdrop of solitude and yearning, emphasizing the emotional turmoil the character is experiencing.

The lyrics delve deeper into the shared pain and stubbornness between the protagonist and their lover. Both are suffering from the same heartache, yet neither is willing to make the first move to reconcile. This mutual pride and reluctance to reach out are portrayed as common flaws in their hearts. The song suggests that the only remedy for their pain is for one of them to call the other, highlighting the simplicity yet difficulty of resolving their emotional struggle.

As the song progresses, the protagonist takes a bold step by going to the lover's building and calling from the entrance. However, a new doorman, unfamiliar with the protagonist, adds a layer of tension and suspicion. The protagonist pleads for the lover to use the intercom to confirm their relationship, emphasizing the urgency and desperation of the situation. The song concludes with the protagonist's desire to be with their lover, to overcome the sleepless night and the overwhelming nostalgia by being together. This final plea underscores the depth of their love and the lengths they are willing to go to be reunited, even in the dead of night.
