Passion and Longing in 'Alteradão' by Henry Freitas
Henry Freitas' song 'Alteradão' delves into the intense emotions and memories of a past romantic encounter. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a passionate relationship, filled with physical intimacy and emotional highs. The singer reminisces about the times spent together in a bedroom, engaging in various forms of intimacy and mischief. This nostalgic reflection is contrasted with the present, where the former lover now denies any connection, despite the singer's belief that the desire still lingers within them.
The chorus of the song reveals the singer's current state of inebriation, symbolized by the repeated consumption of 'caipi de limão' (a popular Brazilian cocktail). This state of being 'alteradão' (intoxicated) serves as a metaphor for the singer's emotional turmoil and longing. Despite being physically unsteady, the singer's true desire is to fall back into the embrace of their former lover, highlighting a deep sense of yearning and unfulfilled passion.
The song also touches on the physical and emotional impact of the relationship. The mention of trembling legs and the lover's vocal expressions during their intimate moments underscores the intensity of their connection. The singer's admiration for their lover's blue eyes turning them into a fan further emphasizes the deep emotional bond that was once shared. 'Alteradão' is a raw and honest portrayal of love, desire, and the lingering effects of a passionate relationship that has since ended.
