Bruma

The song 'Bruma' by Joy delves into the emotional turmoil and the journey of overcoming a painful relationship. The lyrics speak to the experience of feeling trapped in a cycle of unreciprocated love and the struggle to break free from it. The opening lines, 'Nunca mais eu quero ver você chorar / Por alguém que não te quer,' set the tone for the song, emphasizing the futility of investing emotions in someone who doesn't return them. This sentiment is further reinforced with the advice to not pretend everything is fine when it clearly isn't, highlighting the importance of acknowledging one's pain and not suppressing it.

The recurring theme of darkness and suffocation in the lyrics, 'A solidão que me absorve / Eu não consigo superar,' and 'Na escuridão que nos consome / Eu não consigo me guiar,' metaphorically represents the overwhelming feeling of loneliness and the inability to find direction in life. This darkness symbolizes the emotional fog that clouds one's judgment and makes it difficult to move forward. The repetition of 'Essa história já conhecemos de cor' suggests a familiarity with this painful narrative, indicating that the singer has been through this cycle before and is weary of it.

The song also carries a message of self-empowerment and taking control of one's life. Lines like 'Não espere ser amado para amar' and 'Tire a mão dessa ferida que não sara' encourage listeners to not wait for external validation or for wounds to heal on their own. Instead, they should take proactive steps to heal and find their own path. The closing lines, 'Eu não quero mais me perder / Nesse caminho que eu andei,' signify a resolve to not repeat past mistakes and to seek a new direction, free from the shadows of past heartaches.
