Escolhas E Mais Escolhas

Boaventura's song 'Escolhas E Mais Escolhas' delves into the complexities of relationships and the choices that shape them. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a tumultuous relationship where materialism and ego play significant roles. The opening lines question the superficial aspects of the partner, such as the brand of clothing and perfume, hinting at a relationship built on appearances rather than genuine connection. The narrator expresses a hope that the partner will eventually find clarity and determination, suggesting a current state of confusion and indecision.

The song also reflects on the narrator's own flaws, admitting to past mistakes and a somewhat 'canalha' (scoundrel) behavior. Despite this, the narrator claims to have always acted truthfully. The partner's ego is highlighted as a barrier, keeping them distant from the narrator's new phase in life. This distance is not just physical but emotional, as the partner seems uninterested in the narrator's current experiences and growth. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation, as the narrator decides not to waste time on someone who doesn't reciprocate their interest.

Materialism and escapism are recurring themes, with references to money, luxury items, and alcohol. The partner's actions, such as carrying money in a designer bag and drowning sorrows in gin and bourbon, suggest a reliance on material wealth and substances to cope with emotional turmoil. The narrator acknowledges that their lives have diverged, with each choice leading to more choices and consequences. The song concludes with a sense of acceptance, recognizing that their paths were never truly aligned and that it's time to move on, despite the lingering memories and emotions.
