Certo Pelo Duvidoso

Maiara e Maraisa's song "Certo Pelo Duvidoso" delves into the theme of regret and the consequences of making impulsive decisions. The lyrics narrate the story of someone who, despite warnings from friends, chooses to leave a stable situation for an uncertain one. This decision leads to a series of unfortunate events, symbolized by the protagonist's return to a plastic chair, a metaphor for a humble or less desirable state. The repetition of the phrase "Disseram: Não vai" (They said: Don't go) underscores the ignored advice and the protagonist's stubbornness.

The song paints a vivid picture of the protagonist's journey, highlighting the isolation and disconnection from friends as they "fui sumindo da vida, dos amigos da mesa" (disappeared from the lives of friends at the table). This imagery emphasizes the emotional and social cost of their decision. The return to the familiar setting, where the protagonist is now seen as the "idiota" (idiot) who pays for the beer, adds a layer of humility and self-awareness to the narrative. The repeated apologies for the absence and the drinks in front of them suggest a sense of remorse and a desire for reconciliation.

Maiara e Maraisa, known for their heartfelt and relatable lyrics, use this song to explore the universal theme of human fallibility. The chorus, with its catchy and repetitive structure, reinforces the message that every social circle has its share of mistakes and regrets, symbolized by the presence of "bebida, cigarro e um bobo" (drink, cigarette, and a fool). The song serves as a reminder of the importance of heeding advice and the potential pitfalls of trading certainty for doubt.
