Vício (feat. Filipe Ret & Gson)

In 'Vício,' Jimmy P, along with featured artists Filipe Ret and Gson, delves into the dark and tumultuous world of addiction and the emotional turmoil that accompanies it. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with their inner demons, seeking solace in their vices to escape the harsh realities of life. The repeated refrain, 'O meu vício cuida de mim' (My addiction takes care of me), underscores the protagonist's reliance on their addiction as a coping mechanism, despite the destructive consequences it brings.

The song opens with a confession of becoming someone the protagonist never wanted to be, running away from problems they never wished to face. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the protagonist's internal conflict and sense of isolation are palpable. The lyrics 'Só eu é que sinto essa raiva' (Only I feel this anger) and 'Só eu é que 'tou nessa vibe' (Only I am in this vibe) highlight the loneliness and frustration that often accompany addiction. The desire to 'levar a cabeça p'ra bem longe' (take my mind far away) reflects a yearning for escape and relief from the overwhelming emotions.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of disconnection and numbness. The protagonist describes a relationship marred by conflict and emotional distance, where discussions and interactions have lost their meaning. The line 'Eu já não quero ouvir nada' (I don't want to hear anything anymore) signifies a withdrawal from reality and a retreat into the numbing embrace of addiction. The mention of 'duas caras' (two faces) suggests a duality in the protagonist's life, where they oscillate between moments of affection and moments of anger and resentment.

The song also touches on the impact of addiction on personal relationships and self-perception. The protagonist acknowledges the destructive nature of their behavior, yet feels trapped in a cycle of dependency. The lyrics 'Afogo-me em vícios só para me sentir ausente' (I drown in vices just to feel absent) and 'Já não festejo quando eu bebo é p'a ficar dormente' (I don't celebrate when I drink, it's to become numb) reveal a deep sense of despair and a longing for escape from their own mind. The song's raw and honest portrayal of addiction serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles many face in their battle with substance abuse and the emotional scars it leaves behind.
