K-sis - Beijo, Blues e Poesia
Malhação
The Melancholy of Lost Love in 'Beijo, Blues e Poesia'
The song 'Beijo, Blues e Poesia' by K-sis, which became popular through the Brazilian TV show 'Malhação', delves into the emotional aftermath of a relationship that has ended. The lyrics express a deep sense of longing and confusion, as the narrator grapples with the memories of a past love and the uncertainty of whether the breakup was mutual or one-sided. The repeated line 'Menina, menina' suggests a direct address to the girl in question, emphasizing the personal and intimate nature of the song's narrative.
The metaphors used in the song, such as 'eu fui a pista e você o avião' (I was the runway and you were the airplane), and 'você é o trêm e eu a estação' (you are the train and I am the station), convey a feeling of being left behind or being a mere stop in the journey of the other person. These images create a sense of disconnect and the idea that the narrator was merely a part of the other's path, not the destination. The chorus, which reminisces about 'kisses, blues, and poetry,' evokes a nostalgic and romanticized memory of the relationship, contrasting with the current state of emptiness and longing.
The song's setting in Bahia, a place known for its warmth, juxtaposed with the narrator's feeling of coldness, further highlights the emotional void left by the absent lover. The search for the lost love through various means, including the internet and newspapers, underscores the desperation and the inability to move on. The repeated declarations of love in the chorus, 'Ohh baby I love you,' serve as a poignant reminder of what once was and the difficulty of letting go of those cherished moments.
