Quarta Cadeira (feat. Matheus e Kauan)

In 'Quarta Cadeira,' Jorge & Mateus, featuring Matheus e Kauan, delve into the theme of romantic disillusionment and the cyclical nature of heartbreak. The song's narrative centers around a woman who has a pattern of captivating and then abandoning her lovers. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man warning another about the inevitable heartbreak that awaits him, as he too will soon join the ranks of those deceived by her charm.

The song begins with the protagonist acknowledging the woman's ability to enchant another man, just as she did with him. The 'frio na barriga' or 'butterflies in the stomach' that the new lover feels is something the protagonist is all too familiar with. He knows that the woman's current lover is enamored because he hasn't yet seen her true colors. The protagonist predicts that the end of this love story will be the same as his own: the woman will use her charm to win the man over, only to leave him without explanation.

The metaphor of the 'mesa com quatro cadeiras' or 'table with four chairs' is central to the song. It symbolizes the shared experience of heartbreak among the men deceived by the woman. Three chairs are already occupied by those who have been hurt, and the fourth chair is reserved for the new lover, who is yet to realize his fate. The protagonist and his fellow sufferers are depicted as waiting, drinking, and ready to console the next victim. This imagery underscores the inevitability of the woman's betrayal and the solidarity among those who have been deceived.

'Quarta Cadeira' is a poignant exploration of the pain of romantic deception and the camaraderie that can arise from shared experiences of heartbreak. The song's narrative and metaphors resonate with anyone who has experienced the cycle of falling in love and being let down, highlighting the universal nature of these emotions.
