Enquanto Acaba (feat. Flora Matos)

Don L's song "Enquanto Acaba," featuring Flora Matos, is a poetic exploration of love and intimacy set against the backdrop of a world in turmoil. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a couple finding solace in each other while the world outside crumbles. The song opens with a reference to jazz legend John Coltrane, setting a sophisticated and introspective tone. The mention of jazz and wine suggests a desire to escape into a world of refined pleasures, even as chaos looms outside.

The lyrics delve into the intimate moments shared between the couple, emphasizing the importance of connection and vulnerability. Don L sings about wanting to love his partner's flaws and share his secrets, creating a sense of deep emotional intimacy. The imagery of dancing without fear and the tactile sensations of being close to one another further highlight the couple's desire to find joy and comfort in each other's presence. The recurring theme of "êxtase" (ecstasy) underscores the intensity of their connection.

As the song progresses, the focus shifts to the external world, described as being in ruins like a scene from "Mad Max." Despite the apocalyptic setting, the couple chooses to focus on their love and the simple pleasures of life. Flora Matos's verse adds another layer to this narrative, describing a world where factories of weapons continue to operate, and traffic is overwhelming. Yet, she and Don L find a way to create their own sanctuary, a "tráfico de paz" (traffic of peace), where they can make love and enjoy each other's company. The song concludes with playful and tender moments, emphasizing the couple's ability to find happiness and connection even as the world falls apart around them.
