Soma Ou Some

CJota's song 'Soma Ou Some' delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship where love and conflict coexist. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a couple who constantly argue but find solace in their physical connection. The repeated question, 'Me diz por que a gente briga mas se ama?' (Tell me why we fight but love each other?), highlights the paradoxical nature of their relationship. Despite the frequent arguments, the couple's intimacy seems to temporarily resolve their issues, yet the underlying problems persist, leading to a cycle of drama and reconciliation.

The chorus, 'Soma, some / Soma, soma ou some,' serves as a poignant ultimatum. The word 'soma' means 'to add' in Portuguese, while 'some' means 'to disappear.' This duality reflects the singer's plea for the partner to either contribute positively to the relationship or leave. The repetition of this phrase underscores the singer's frustration and desire for a resolution. He is tired of the drama and seeks a partner who adds value to his life rather than one who causes more turmoil.

In the second verse, CJota explores the internal conflict between the mind and the heart. He acknowledges the strong physical attraction ('Não é só porque você é gostosa, é a conexão') but also recognizes the emotional manipulation ('Ela mente pra mim, é o que eu gosto'). This admission reveals a deeper layer of the relationship's dysfunction, where deceit and illusion play a significant role. The singer's struggle to follow his intuition and the heart's loyalty ('Escuta a voz do coração, ela é leal, não mente') further complicates the situation, making it difficult for him to break free from the cycle of love and conflict.

'Soma Ou Some' is a raw and honest portrayal of a relationship caught in a loop of passion and pain. CJota's lyrics resonate with anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of love, capturing the essence of a connection that is both intoxicating and exhausting.
