POUCO

In 'POUCO,' Carol Biazin delves into the complexities of a deteriorating relationship, capturing the emotional exhaustion and confusion that often accompany such experiences. The song opens with a sense of weariness, as the narrator expresses a desire for things to work out but is met with constant friction. The lyrics 'Bom dia com beijo esquimó / De tarde a gente se estranhando' illustrate the stark contrast between moments of affection and subsequent misunderstandings, highlighting the instability of the relationship.

The recurring theme of feeling 'pouco' (little) is central to the song. The narrator is accused of speaking, loving, and supporting too little, leading to a profound sense of inadequacy. This self-doubt is further compounded by the realization that she no longer fits into her partner's world, as expressed in 'Eu que era tão pouco / Já não me encaixo no teu mundo.' The gradual loss of connection is poignantly captured in the lines 'E me perdeu de pouco em pouco / E eu gostei de me perder,' suggesting that the narrator found a sense of liberation in the process of losing herself.

The song also touches on the aftermath of the breakup, with the narrator acknowledging the negative things being said about her. Despite having once brought joy to her partner, she is now cast as the villain in a 'trágica' story. This shift in perception underscores the often one-sided nature of blame in failed relationships. Ultimately, 'POUCO' is a raw and honest exploration of love, loss, and the painful journey of self-discovery that can arise from the end of a relationship.
