Não Beba

In 'Não Beba,' Fred e Fabrício delve into the emotional turmoil that follows a breakup, particularly focusing on the struggle between sobriety and the urge to drown one's sorrows in alcohol. The song's lyrics poignantly capture the duality of the protagonist's state of mind. When sober, the protagonist can maintain a semblance of control and distance from the painful memories of a past lover. However, once alcohol enters the picture, all those carefully constructed defenses crumble, and the protagonist becomes overwhelmed by longing and vulnerability.

The lyrics use vivid imagery to illustrate this internal conflict. Phrases like 'Alcoolicamente, eu fico carente' (Alcoholically, I become needy) and 'Dá vontade de pegar na mão do passado e trazer pro presente' (I feel like taking the hand of the past and bringing it to the present) highlight how alcohol acts as a catalyst for emotional regression. The protagonist acknowledges that drinking beer triggers memories of a love that once was, making it impossible to pretend that they have moved on.

The chorus underscores the futility of trying to mask heartache with alcohol. The protagonist admits that while they can feign indifference when sober, a few drinks transform them into someone who is deeply affected by their ex's social media presence. The line 'E o olho que jurou que não ia chorar, escorre!' (And the eye that swore it wouldn't cry, tears up!) encapsulates the inevitable emotional breakdown that follows. Through this song, Fred e Fabrício offer a raw and relatable portrayal of the struggle to cope with lost love and the deceptive solace that alcohol provides.
