Por Um Triz

Carolina Deslandes' song 'Por Um Triz' delves into the emotional aftermath of a relationship that almost reached its full potential but ultimately fell short. The title itself, which translates to 'By a Hair,' sets the tone for a narrative filled with near misses and what-ifs. Deslandes' poignant lyrics explore the lingering presence of a past lover, emphasizing the difficulty of moving on and the unique, irreplaceable nature of the love that was shared.

The song's verses are a series of commands to the ex-lover, urging them to search for her in various places and people, only to realize that she cannot be found. This search is symbolic of the futile attempts to replace a love that was once profound and unique. Deslandes sings, 'Procura-me em todo o lado / Só pra veres que não me encontras,' which means 'Look for me everywhere / Just to see that you won't find me.' This line captures the essence of the song's message: some connections are so deep that they cannot be replicated.

Deslandes also touches on the theme of regret and the realization of what was lost. The repeated line, 'Não se encontra duas vezes / O que eu te dei,' translates to 'You don't find twice / What I gave you.' This sentiment is a reminder that some experiences and emotions are one-of-a-kind. The song's chorus reinforces this idea, lamenting that they were 'almost everything' but missed their chance 'by a hair.' The emotional weight of these lyrics is amplified by Deslandes' soulful delivery, making 'Por Um Triz' a powerful reflection on love, loss, and the haunting nature of what could have been.
