Por Pouco (feat. Gson)

Lhast's song 'Por Pouco,' featuring Gson, delves into the emotional turmoil and heartbreak that comes with betrayal in a romantic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has deteriorated due to infidelity and broken promises. The repeated use of 'não não não não' (no no no no) underscores the pain and rejection felt by the protagonist, who is grappling with the reality of their partner's unfaithfulness.

The song opens with a sense of longing and disappointment, as the protagonist reflects on the past when their partner used to be attentive and loving. The line 'Era suposto acordar com o teu telefonema' (I was supposed to wake up with your call) highlights the expectation of care and communication that has now been shattered. The protagonist's frustration is palpable as they question their partner's whereabouts and fidelity, indicating a deep sense of betrayal and mistrust.

Throughout the song, there is a stark contrast between the past and the present. The protagonist reminisces about the days when they felt cherished ('Like back in the days era princesa'), but now they feel replaced and undervalued ('Agora tenho de partilhar com essas bitches'). The lyrics also touch on themes of self-worth and the search for genuine love, as the protagonist laments that their partner only offered physical affection without emotional depth ('Gostas de usar por vaidade, mas tu não davas amor').

The song's emotional climax comes with the realization that the relationship is beyond repair. The protagonist acknowledges that staying with someone who continuously betrays them is a step backward ('Ela diz estar com alguém assim é andar pa’ trás'). The repeated questioning of 'Onde é que passas a noite?' (Where do you spend the night?) encapsulates the constant doubt and insecurity that plagues the relationship. Ultimately, 'Por Pouco' is a poignant exploration of the pain of betrayal and the difficult journey of moving on from a toxic relationship.
