Respiro

In 'Respiro,' Lucca Kosta delves into the profound and often tumultuous experience of existence through the metaphor of breathing. The act of breathing, a fundamental aspect of life, is used to symbolize the struggle, pain, and moments of clarity that come with living. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and the need to come up for air, both literally and metaphorically, when life becomes overwhelming. The repetition of 'Eu respiro quando subo à superficie' (I breathe when I come to the surface) highlights the cyclical nature of this struggle, suggesting that moments of relief are fleeting and must be cherished.

The song also explores the paradox of breathing as both a necessity and a source of pain. The lines 'Quanto mais eu respiro mais me dói' (The more I breathe, the more it hurts) and 'Eu preciso não pensar pra respirar' (I need to not think to breathe) reflect the internal conflict of needing to continue despite the suffering it brings. This duality is a poignant reminder of the complexities of human existence, where the very act of living can sometimes feel suffocating.

Lucca Kosta's 'Respiro' is a deeply introspective piece that resonates with anyone who has felt lost or overwhelmed by life's challenges. The imagery of being 'perdida, no ar' (lost in the air) captures the disorientation and struggle to find one's path. The song's contemplative tone and evocative lyrics invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences of navigating the highs and lows of life, making it a powerful and relatable anthem for resilience and self-discovery.
