Perfeita Simetria

Engenheiros do Hawaii's song 'Perfeita Simetria' delves into the themes of nostalgia, longing, and the complexities of relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is deeply affected by the absence of a significant other. The recurring line, 'Toda vez que toca o telefone, eu penso que é você' (Every time the phone rings, I think it's you), highlights the anticipation and hope that the person on the other end might be the one they miss. This sentiment is further emphasized by the sleepless nights spent contemplating writing a letter, indicating a deep emotional turmoil and a desire for reconnection.

The song also explores the idea of unresolved issues and the impact of silence in a relationship. The lines 'Pra dizer que teu silêncio me agride' (To say that your silence hurts me) and 'Teu maior defeito talvez seja a perfeição' (Your biggest flaw might be perfection) suggest a sense of frustration and helplessness. The protagonist feels like a 'calendário do ano passado' (last year's calendar), indicating a sense of being outdated or forgotten. This metaphor underscores the pain of feeling left behind and the struggle to move on from a relationship that once felt perfectly symmetrical.

The chorus, 'Ao tempo em que nada nos dividia, Havia motivo pra tudo e tudo era motivo pra mais, Era perfeita simetria, Éramos duas metades, iguais' (To the time when nothing divided us, There was a reason for everything and everything was a reason for more, It was perfect symmetry, We were two halves, equal), reflects a longing to return to a time when the relationship was harmonious and fulfilling. The repetition of 'Vamos voltar' (Let's go back) serves as a plea to rekindle the connection and restore the balance that once existed. The song captures the essence of yearning for a lost love and the hope for reconciliation, making it a poignant and relatable piece for anyone who has experienced the complexities of love and loss.
