Também Quero

Anna Joyce's song 'Também Quero' delves into the complex emotions of unrequited love and the strain it places on friendships. The lyrics are a heartfelt confession from a woman to her friend, revealing that she has fallen in love with her friend's boyfriend. This revelation is not just a simple admission but a painful acknowledgment of feelings that she knows are wrong and potentially damaging to her friendship.

The song's protagonist is torn between her deep feelings for her friend's boyfriend and her loyalty to her friend. She recognizes the happiness her friend has found in her relationship and the battles they have overcome together. Despite this, she cannot help but feel a strong desire for the same love and affection. This internal conflict is evident in lines like 'Porque o beijo que ele te dá eu também quero' (Because the kiss he gives you, I also want) and 'Esse homem que tu tens eu também quero' (This man that you have, I also want).

Anna Joyce uses the song to explore themes of jealousy, guilt, and the moral dilemmas that arise when personal desires clash with the bonds of friendship. The protagonist's decision to distance herself from her friend to avoid being 'falsa' (false) highlights her awareness of the potential harm her feelings could cause. She admits her envy is not blind and acknowledges her place, showing a deep sense of self-awareness and responsibility. The song's emotional depth is further amplified by the protagonist's resolve to step away to prevent any temptation, underscoring the painful sacrifices sometimes necessary to preserve important relationships.
