Liga

Mark Exodus's song 'Liga' delves into the complexities of unrequited love and emotional turmoil. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where the protagonist feels deeply connected to someone who seems to be drifting away. The opening lines, 'Não existem vencedores neste jogo,' set the tone by suggesting that in this emotional game, there are no winners. This sentiment is further emphasized when the protagonist recounts a moment of vulnerability, saving money to share a meal, only to be left alone as the person leaves with an older man, presumably for material gain.

The song's narrative continues to explore the protagonist's feelings of betrayal and longing. The line 'Dizes que é teu tio mas é branco de olhos verdes' hints at a possible lie or a facade, as the person of interest is described as being with someone who doesn't seem to fit the familial description. This adds a layer of complexity, suggesting that the relationship is marred by dishonesty and perhaps a sense of inadequacy. The repeated plea, 'Liga pra meu cell,' underscores the protagonist's desperation for connection and the hope that the other person still harbors feelings for them.

In the latter part of the song, the protagonist reflects on the unique bond they share with the person, emphasizing that only they understand and can heal each other's emotional scars. However, this bond is also a source of pain, as the protagonist admits to being mistreated in an 'anormal' way. The song concludes with a poignant reminder of the protagonist's unwavering love and the hope that the other person will reach out, encapsulating the bittersweet nature of unrequited love and the longing for a connection that seems just out of reach.
