Triplex (feat. Matheus Fernandes)
Matheus e Kauan
The Unshakable Tenant of the Heart
In the song "Triplex (feat. Matheus Fernandes)" by Matheus e Kauan, the lyrics delve into the emotional turmoil of a person grappling with intense feelings of longing and heartache. The protagonist is haunted by the memory of a past lover who has metaphorically rented a 'triplex' in their mind, signifying the deep and pervasive impact this person has had on their thoughts and emotions. The use of the term 'triplex' suggests a large, multi-level space, indicating that the lover occupies a significant and unshakeable part of the protagonist's mental and emotional landscape.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's struggle to move on. Despite their efforts to distract themselves with various activities like drinking and smoking, nothing seems to alleviate the pain of their longing. The drinks feel like they have no alcohol, and the usual distractions fail to provide any solace. This metaphor highlights the futility of their attempts to escape their feelings, as the memory of the lover is too strong to be drowned out by external means.
The repeated imagery of the lover not leaving the protagonist's mind, even in moments of physical exertion or intimacy with others, underscores the depth of their emotional attachment. The lines "Te ligo cê não atende, Na moral, eu tô sem moral" reflect the protagonist's desperation and sense of helplessness, as they are unable to reach the person who has such a hold on their heart. The recurring mention of 'saudade' (a deep, emotional state of nostalgic longing) and 'água de sal' (tears) further emphasizes the profound sadness and emotional pain experienced by the protagonist.
