Escassez

IVYSON's song 'Escassez' delves into the complexities of love, longing, and emotional scarcity. The title itself, which translates to 'Scarcity,' sets the tone for a narrative filled with emotional depth and vulnerability. The lyrics explore the intimate connection between two people, emphasizing the physical and emotional sensations that come with love. The line 'É coisa de pele' (It's a skin thing) suggests a deep, almost primal connection, while 'Temos a beleza dos girassóis' (We have the beauty of sunflowers) evokes a sense of natural, effortless beauty in their relationship.

The song also touches on the pain of separation and the struggle to move on. The repeated lines 'Te apaguei junto com as mensagens / Mas ainda te sei de cor' (I deleted you along with the messages / But I still know you by heart) highlight the difficulty of erasing someone from your life, even when physical reminders are gone. This emotional conflict is further emphasized by the singer's admission of feeling empty when seeing the other person 'voar' (fly away). The metaphor of flying suggests freedom and escape, yet the singer acknowledges that they 'vôo melhor' (fly better) with their partner, indicating a sense of incompleteness without them.

The song also explores themes of deception and self-deception in relationships. The lines 'Ei, diz que me quer também / Pode mentir, isso não me convém' (Hey, say you want me too / You can lie, it doesn't matter to me) reveal a willingness to accept lies for the sake of emotional comfort. This is juxtaposed with the admission 'Eu também sei mentir' (I also know how to lie), suggesting a mutual understanding of the facades they maintain. The song captures the essence of human vulnerability, the need for connection, and the lengths to which people go to preserve their emotional well-being, even if it means living in a state of scarcity.
