Surreal (feat. Luísa Sonza)

Baco Exu do Blues, known for his poetic and often provocative lyrics, teams up with Luísa Sonza in the song 'Surreal' to explore the depths of a passionate and almost dreamlike relationship. The song opens with a vivid scene of a warm night, where the characters share a moment over whiskey, setting the tone for an intimate and surreal experience. The reference to 'the clocks of Dali' evokes Salvador Dalí's famous melting clocks, symbolizing the fluidity and distortion of time when in the throes of intense emotion.

The chorus emphasizes the surreal nature of their connection, describing it as a 'visceral case' and a 'sweet conjugal' experience with 'citrus desire.' These metaphors suggest a relationship that is both deeply physical and emotionally charged, blending sweetness with a sharp, almost tangy intensity. The repeated phrase 'noite em claro, derretendo o tempo' (sleepless night, melting time) further underscores the idea of time losing its meaning in the face of their overwhelming passion.

As the song progresses, it delves into the complexities of their relationship. The lyrics touch on themes of dependency and the fear of boredom when apart, highlighting the addictive nature of their bond. The line 'Confiar é mais difícil do que ir embora' (Trusting is harder than leaving) reveals the underlying tension and vulnerability that come with such intense emotions. Despite the potential for danger, the characters embrace their passion, seeking out 'expensive hotels' and 'parties in Spain,' living in the moment and pushing boundaries. The song captures the essence of a love that is both exhilarating and perilous, a whirlwind of emotions that feels almost too surreal to be true.
