Horizonte Azul

In Eduardo Costa's song "Horizonte Azul," the artist delves deep into the emotional turmoil of longing and heartbreak. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is tormented by memories of a past love, especially during the serene yet haunting nights under the moonlight. The imagery of looking out from a window at the lonely streets below amplifies his sense of isolation and despair. The recurring theme of the moonlit night serves as a metaphor for his emotional state—beautiful yet melancholic, filled with memories that refuse to fade away.

The song's chorus reveals the intensity of his feelings, describing how the mere memory of his lover's gaze and the taste of her kiss still linger, making it impossible for him to move on. The phrase "Horizonte azul vermelho luzes a brilhar" (blue horizon, red lights shining) juxtaposes the calmness of the horizon with the passionate, almost chaotic, emotions he feels. This contrast highlights the internal conflict between his desire to find peace and the overwhelming passion that consumes him.

As the song progresses, the city lights viewed from above become symbols of his unfulfilled desires and the lingering presence of his lover in his thoughts. The line "Coração não bate apanha no meu peito" (my heart doesn't beat, it gets hit in my chest) poignantly captures the physical pain of longing. The song concludes with a desperate yearning to be reunited with his lover, to feel her touch and speak words of love once more. The memories of their time together are described as too strong to forget, emphasizing the lasting impact of this profound emotional experience.
