Oitava Dose

In 'Oitava Dose,' Matheus e Kauan delve into the depths of heartbreak and the futile attempts to drown sorrow in alcohol. The song paints a vivid picture of a man who is struggling to cope with the end of a relationship. He decides to go out drinking, hoping to find solace in the bottom of a glass. The lyrics capture his sense of isolation and despair as he sits alone in a bar, waiting for either the pain to subside or for someone to offer him comfort. The repetition of the setting—a bar on the main avenue—emphasizes his routine of seeking temporary relief in familiar places.

The metaphor of drinking to forget is central to the song. The protagonist is already on his seventh drink and is ordering the eighth, hoping that each sip will help him erase a part of his ex from his memory. However, the lyrics also acknowledge the futility of this effort. Despite his attempts to numb the pain, he knows that the memories of his lost love will continue to haunt him. The act of leaving a piece of his ex at every table he sits at and with every drink he takes symbolizes his ongoing struggle to move on. Each kiss and each drink is a desperate attempt to fill the void left by the breakup.

'Oitava Dose' resonates with anyone who has experienced the lingering pain of a broken heart. The song captures the universal feeling of trying to escape emotional pain through temporary distractions, only to find that the memories and feelings persist. Matheus e Kauan's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery make this song a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the difficult journey of healing.
