Hotel Caro (feat. Luísa Sonza)

Baco Exu do Blues' song "Hotel Caro (feat. Luísa Sonza)" delves into the complexities of a toxic relationship that refuses to fade away. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two individuals who are unable to let go of each other despite the evident pain and deceit. The repeated lines, "Você mente tão mal, finge tão mal, tá na sua cara, você não me esqueceu," highlight the facade both parties maintain, pretending to move on while still being emotionally entangled. This struggle is further emphasized by the recurring attempts to forget each other through fleeting physical encounters with others, as seen in the lines, "Outros corpos, outros cheiros pra esquecer o meu."

The song's chorus, where Baco Exu do Blues finds himself in a luxurious yet empty hotel room, smoking a cigarette and reflecting on the relationship, underscores the emptiness and exhaustion he feels. The imagery of a "banheira vazia, em um hotel caro" serves as a metaphor for the hollow and costly nature of their love. Despite recognizing the other person's faults, he grapples with feelings of guilt and confusion, questioning why he feels culpable for the relationship's demise.

Luísa Sonza's verse adds another layer to the narrative, expressing the pain of loving someone who didn't reciprocate the care and attention she needed. Her lines, "Mentira também é ocultar verdade, porque você não cuidou de mim," reveal the emotional neglect she experienced. The song captures the cyclical nature of their toxic relationship, where both parties are drawn back to each other despite knowing the harm it causes. The repeated phrase, "Essa é a quinta última vez," signifies the endless cycle of breaking up and reconciling, highlighting the difficulty of truly letting go.
