É Osso

Jovem Dionisio's song "É Osso" delves into the complexities of hesitation and the fear of taking the first step in love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is aware that their love interest is just across the street, yet they are paralyzed by the fear of making a mistake, symbolized by the metaphor of tripping and breaking a bone. This hesitation is further emphasized by the protagonist's lack of motivation, as they mention not waking up feeling ready to face the day.

The song captures the mundane yet profound moments of daily life, such as having a coffee in the afternoon and the passage of time, which seems to slip away without any significant action. The protagonist is caught in a loop of procrastination, thinking that they could have made a move yesterday or the day before, but today feels uncertain. This sense of inertia is contrasted with the hope and excitement that the protagonist feels when they think about seeing their love interest, describing it as being "intoxicated with hope."

The turning point in the song comes when the protagonist realizes that their love interest has noticed them and has taken the initiative to cross the street. This act of crossing the street symbolizes breaking through the barriers of hesitation and fear. The repeated lines about finding the strength to get up and live through the week highlight the internal struggle and the eventual triumph of hope and courage over doubt and inertia. The song beautifully encapsulates the emotional rollercoaster of love, from hesitation and fear to hope and action, making it a relatable and poignant piece.
