Dois Estranhos

In 'Dois Estranhos,' João Gustavo e Murilo delve into the poignant aftermath of a relationship that has irrevocably changed. The song opens with a powerful metaphor, comparing the act of letting a loved one go to a bird escaping its cage. This imagery sets the tone for the entire song, emphasizing the theme of freedom and the irreversible nature of certain decisions. The bird, once free, may return, but it will never be the same, symbolizing how people change and evolve after separation.

The lyrics further explore the transformation that both individuals undergo during their time apart. The lines 'Mudou a postura, tá tão elegante / Dos pés a cabeça, nada é como antes' highlight the physical and emotional changes that have occurred. The once-familiar lover is now a stranger, embodying the song's title, 'Dois Estranhos' (Two Strangers). This transformation is not just superficial; it signifies deeper emotional shifts that make it impossible to rekindle the past relationship.

The chorus poignantly captures the essence of the song: 'A pouco tempo te chamava de amor / E hoje somos dois estranhos.' This stark contrast between past intimacy and present estrangement underscores the inevitability of change and the futility of trying to return to what once was. The song concludes with a resigned acceptance that 'não adianta voltar / não vai ser como era,' acknowledging that some things, once broken, cannot be mended. Through its heartfelt lyrics and evocative metaphors, 'Dois Estranhos' offers a bittersweet reflection on love, loss, and the passage of time.
