DESSA VEZ NÃO
Carol Biazin
Breaking Free from a Toxic Cycle
In 'DESSA VEZ NÃO,' Carol Biazin delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship stuck in a repetitive and unfulfilling cycle. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has become routine, devoid of genuine effort to resolve underlying issues. Biazin acknowledges her own role in perpetuating this cycle, admitting that she should have exited the scene long ago. The metaphor of a film playing unnoticed underscores the sense of disconnection and futility she feels, as she realizes that playing the game alone is a losing battle.
The chorus reveals a poignant struggle with self-deception and heartbreak. Biazin confesses to pretending, doubting, lying, and believing that she had moved on, only to find herself back in the same painful situation. The repetition of 'dessa vez não' (not this time) signifies a desperate attempt to break free from the cycle, yet she finds herself unable to truly overcome the emotional grip of the relationship. The imagery of living on 'automatic' and her heart disguising its tragic state highlights the numbness and survival mode she has adopted, clinging to the hope of even the smallest acknowledgment from her partner.
As the song progresses, Biazin confronts the cowardice of her partner, who avoids addressing their issues head-on. She grapples with the reality of loving someone who strings her along, causing her to question her own worth and sanity. The metaphor of time passing them by and the 'game over' moment signifies the end of her patience and the relationship. The final plea for her partner to admit their lack of love and commitment, and to let her go, encapsulates the painful yet necessary step towards liberation and self-respect.
