Ultimamente

Dreko's song 'Ultimamente' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and existential confusion that many people experience. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with feelings of emptiness and disorientation. The repeated phrase 'Nada tem feito sentido' (Nothing has made sense) underscores a pervasive sense of meaninglessness. Dreko's portrayal of being 'perdido na minha própria mente' (lost in my own mind) suggests a struggle with mental health, possibly hinting at depression or anxiety.

The song also explores themes of loneliness and unfulfilled desires. Despite having material wealth ('Bolso cheio, coração vazio' - Full pockets, empty heart), the protagonist feels a profound sense of coldness and isolation. The mention of luxury brands like Louis Vuitton serves as a metaphor for the superficial attempts to fill an emotional void. The absence of a significant other ('E ela cadê? Sumiu' - And where is she? She disappeared) further amplifies the sense of loss and longing.

Nostalgia and regret are also prominent in 'Ultimamente.' Dreko reminisces about a past relationship, reflecting on moments of happiness and intimacy that are now replaced by pain and darkness ('Lembro do tempo que tudo era flores, hoje são só dores' - I remember when everything was flowers, today it's just pain). The lyrics convey a sense of being stuck in the past, unable to move forward, and the internal conflict of wanting to reconnect while knowing it's not possible. This emotional complexity is encapsulated in the line 'Deu pra ver que eu perdi o controle ultimamente' (It's clear that I've lost control lately), highlighting the struggle to regain a sense of stability and purpose.
