Vacilão

In 'Vacilão,' Gloss delivers a powerful anthem of self-respect and empowerment. The song's protagonist addresses a former lover who has repeatedly disrespected and humiliated her. The term 'vacilão' is a Brazilian Portuguese slang word that roughly translates to 'jerk' or 'loser,' setting the tone for the song's message. The protagonist is fed up with the mistreatment and is resolute in her decision to cut ties with this person, emphasizing that she deserves better.

The lyrics are a direct confrontation, with the protagonist telling her ex to leave and stop trying to win her back. She recounts how he asked for a break to 'rethink his feelings,' only to use that time to further mistreat her. The repetition of 'Pedi pra sair vai seu vacilão' underscores her determination to move on and not be swayed by his apologies. The song is a declaration of independence and a refusal to tolerate any more disrespect.

Gloss uses vivid metaphors and colloquial language to convey the protagonist's disdain and resolve. Phrases like 'me fez de gato e sapato' (made a fool of me) and 'honrra as calças que tu veste' (honor the pants you wear) add a cultural richness to the song, making it relatable to many who have experienced similar situations. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus contrast with its serious message, creating an empowering anthem for anyone who has had to stand up for themselves and demand respect.
