Navigating Emotional Depths: Ivandro's 'Barco'
Ivandro's song 'Barco,' featuring Bispo, delves into the dynamics of a relationship where one partner only seeks the other during times of hardship. The recurring lines 'Só pensas em mim quando bates lá no fundo' and 'Só pensas em mim quando esse teu barco afunda' translate to 'You only think of me when you hit rock bottom' and 'You only think of me when your boat sinks,' respectively. These lines use the metaphor of a sinking boat to represent moments of personal crisis or failure. The song suggests that the partner is absent during good times, changing their attitude and conversation when they no longer need support.
The verses explore the narrator's feelings of being used and undervalued. Ivandro raps about the imbalance in the relationship, where he feels empty and unappreciated. The lyrics 'Se esse tempo falasse ias ver o preço certo' imply that if the time spent together could speak, it would reveal the true cost of the relationship. The artist expresses a desire for change, contemplating whether to continue the relationship or move on to find freedom and peace.
The song's emotional weight is amplified by the artist's delivery and the melancholic tone of the music. Ivandro, known for blending elements of R&B, hip-hop, and soul, uses his music to convey deep personal experiences and emotions. 'Barco' is a reflection on the importance of mutual support and recognition in relationships, and the pain of feeling like an afterthought to someone you care about.
