Distante

Jorge Vercillo's song 'Distante' delves into the emotional complexities of love and separation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship strained by physical distance, yet deeply connected through emotional and mental bonds. The opening lines, 'Não tem nada, Sei que a estrada é o seu lugar,' suggest an acceptance of the partner's need to be away, perhaps for personal growth or other commitments. Despite the physical separation, the narrator expresses a profound connection, stating that their thoughts and dreams are intertwined with those of their partner.

The song's chorus, 'Se você não está aqui, Tampouco estou junto de mim,' captures the essence of feeling incomplete without the presence of a loved one. This sentiment is further emphasized by the imagery of being 'ausente pela vida alheia,' indicating a sense of detachment from the world around them. The narrator likens themselves to the wind and the night, elements that are ever-present yet intangible, symbolizing their constant but unseen presence in their partner's life.

As the song progresses, the narrator's vulnerability becomes more apparent. The lines 'Só não quero imaginar, Você vivendo outros amores por aí' reveal a deep-seated fear of being replaced or forgotten. This fear is a poignant reminder of the insecurities that often accompany long-distance relationships. Vercillo's soulful delivery and the melancholic melody enhance the emotional weight of the lyrics, making 'Distante' a touching exploration of love, longing, and the challenges of maintaining a connection across distances.
