The Allure of the Unattainable: A Dance with Desire in 'Lapada Dela'
In 'Lapada Dela,' Matheus Fernandes, featuring Grupo Menos é Mais, delves into the intoxicating allure of a captivating woman. The song's protagonist finds himself irresistibly drawn to a girl who stands at 1.60 meters tall and bears a tattoo of her ex. This detail hints at her complex past and perhaps a hint of danger, making her even more intriguing. The lyrics paint her as a femme fatale, someone who can disrupt lives with just a touch, emphasizing her powerful and almost destructive charm.
The repeated refrain, 'Todo dia eu quero pegar ela,' underscores the protagonist's obsession. He is so consumed by thoughts of her that he can't sleep, constantly replaying her every move in his mind. The phrase 'lapada dela' can be interpreted as the impact or blow of her presence, suggesting that her allure is almost physical, leaving a lasting impression. The line 'Tu não pega ela, ela é quem te pega' flips the traditional dynamic, portraying her as the one in control, the hunter rather than the hunted.
This song captures the essence of infatuation and the power dynamics in romantic pursuits. The protagonist's addiction to her 'lapada' reflects a deeper commentary on how some relationships can be all-consuming and unbalanced. Matheus Fernandes' choice of a catchy, repetitive chorus mirrors the cyclical nature of such infatuations, where one is trapped in a loop of desire and longing. The collaboration with Grupo Menos é Mais adds a layer of rhythmic complexity, enhancing the song's hypnotic quality and making it a compelling exploration of love, lust, and the irresistible pull of the unattainable.
