Tabu

Capicua's song 'Tabu' is a passionate and playful exploration of love and desire, wrapped in a vibrant and energetic lyrical style. The song is a celebration of intense attraction and the thrill of a romantic connection that feels almost forbidden or taboo. Capicua uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey the heat and intensity of her feelings, comparing her lover to a 'rocket from NASA' and herself to a 'trophy' and 'sky.' This suggests a relationship that is both aspirational and elevating, where each partner sees the other as a prize and a source of inspiration.

The lyrics are filled with references to physical attraction and sensuality, with Capicua expressing her admiration for her lover's physique and the effect it has on her. Lines like 'Deixa levar a roupa a mão nos teus abdominais' and 'rezar aos teus peitorais' highlight the physicality of their connection, while also adding a playful and almost worshipful tone. The repeated references to 'fogo' (fire) and 'brasa' (ember) further emphasize the burning passion that defines their relationship.

Culturally, the song taps into the universal theme of love as a powerful and sometimes overwhelming force. Capicua's use of multiple languages in the chorus ('Amo-te, I love you, te amo, j'teime') underscores the idea that love transcends linguistic and cultural barriers. The playful and confident tone of the song, combined with its energetic beat, makes 'Tabu' a celebration of love's ability to make us feel alive and invincible. The song's title, 'Tabu,' suggests that this love, while intense and consuming, might also be seen as unconventional or outside societal norms, adding an extra layer of excitement and rebellion to the narrative.
