Coração de Serpente

In 'Coração de Serpente,' Mano Walter delves deep into the torment of unrequited love and the emotional devastation it brings. The song's protagonist is engulfed in sorrow, crying incessantly over a woman who has left him in a state of endless solitude. This woman, described as deceitful, has left a void in his life that he desperately wishes to fill again, even praying to God for her return. The repeated plea to the divine underscores the depth of his despair and longing.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man consumed by passion, to the point of madness. Despite his numerous attempts to forget her, he finds himself unable to move on. His life has become a series of disappointments, devoid of any joy or pleasure since her departure. This relentless heartache is further emphasized by his futile efforts to reach out to her through letters and messages, all of which go unanswered. His nights are filled with dreams of her, only to wake up to the harsh reality of her absence, leading to quiet tears as he reminisces about their past.

The song's title, 'Coração de Serpente' (Heart of a Serpent), is a powerful metaphor for the woman's cold and treacherous nature. The protagonist feels cursed by his fate, destined to love deeply and suffer eternally. This metaphor not only highlights her cruelty but also the venomous impact she has had on his life. The song captures the essence of a love that is both passionate and destructive, leaving the listener with a profound sense of empathy for the protagonist's plight.
