Você Reparou?

In 'Você Reparou?' by Karla Díbia, the lyrics delve into the themes of recognition, self-worth, and the struggle for understanding. The song opens with a declaration of ownership over time, suggesting a momentary control or influence over someone else's attention. The protagonist has invested their time and effort, only to feel unheard and unappreciated. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines 'Eu comprei, eu paguei, eu te dei / O meu tempo, você vai me ouvir,' indicating a transactional nature to their relationship, where emotional investment is met with indifference.

The song further explores the frustration of being misunderstood, despite simplifying oneself to be more comprehensible. The protagonist's efforts to communicate and be seen are met with laughter and dismissal, as highlighted in 'Fiz palavras / Se tornarem piadas, todas lá musicadas / Você riu quando ouviu, mas não importa.' This laughter signifies a lack of serious engagement with the protagonist's true self, leading to a sense of isolation and resignation. The repeated phrase 'O que você nunca nem reparou' underscores the pain of being overlooked and the yearning for acknowledgment.

In the latter part of the song, the protagonist reflects on their attempts to shine brightly, to become a guiding light or beacon, in hopes of being noticed. The metaphor of trying to 'encostar lá no Sol / Me tornar uma luz, um farol' illustrates the lengths to which they have gone to be seen and understood. Despite these efforts, the recognition they seek remains elusive, leaving them to ponder the futility of their attempts. The song closes on a bittersweet note, with a fleeting moment of being heard, yet the underlying message remains: the protagonist's essence and efforts have largely gone unnoticed.
