Estética

Henrique Cerqueira's song 'Estética' is a poetic ode to the beauty and depth of a loved one, blending metaphysical and hyperbolic language to convey a profound admiration. The lyrics open with a description of the beloved's beauty as 'phenomenal' and 'divine,' setting a tone of reverence and awe. This beauty is not just physical but also metaphysical, suggesting a deeper, almost spiritual connection. The use of terms like 'universal standard of beauty' and 'divine metaphysical feat' elevates the subject to an almost celestial level, indicating that the beloved's beauty transcends ordinary human standards.

The song delves into the idea that true beauty lies within, describing the beloved's inner aesthetics as 'symmetrically proportional' to their smile, which has the power to heal the singer's pain. This juxtaposition of inner and outer beauty highlights the incoherence of traditional poetic forms, suggesting that true beauty cannot be confined to conventional descriptions. The lyrics also touch on the subjective nature of beauty, implying that if the beloved could see themselves through the singer's eyes, they would understand the depth of this admiration.

Cerqueira further explores the theme of love as an art form, requiring 'time and subtlety,' 'care and attention' to fully appreciate. The song questions the reality of this love, oscillating between dream and reality, and expresses a fear of it being too good to be true. However, it concludes with a resolve to learn from the Creator, who crafted such a masterpiece. This blend of faith, courage, and idealism encapsulates the essence of the song, making it a heartfelt tribute to the complexities and profundities of love.
