Lariça

In 'Lariça,' Félix delves into the complexities of love, fear, and self-discovery. The song opens with a contemplation on the nature of love, likening it to the sea—beautiful yet potentially dangerous. This metaphor sets the stage for the central theme: the fear of getting hurt in love, much like the fear of drowning. Félix's lyrics reflect a deep internal struggle, where the desire to love is constantly at odds with the fear of emotional pain.

The song also touches on the idea of impermanence and the inevitability of change. Félix mentions that 'nothing is everlasting,' suggesting a philosophical acceptance of life's transient nature. This is further emphasized by the imagery of keys and locks, symbolizing changes and the loss of access to past experiences or relationships. The line 'I had about 10 keys and they changed the locks' poignantly captures the feeling of being shut out from what once was familiar.

Félix's introspective lyrics also explore the theme of self-liberation. He acknowledges the temptation to succumb to negative emotions but resolves to rise above them. The song's narrative arc moves from a place of fear and hesitation to one of determination and focus. By the end, Félix expresses a desire to break free from past resentments and embrace love once more, despite the risks involved. This journey of emotional resilience and self-awareness is encapsulated in the repeated affirmation, 'Penso que amar é bom' (I think that loving is good), highlighting the ultimate belief in the value of love despite its challenges.
