Possessiva

Melim's song 'Possessiva' delves into the transformative power of love and how it can unexpectedly change one's behavior and desires. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a couple deeply in love, enjoying each other's company in the most intimate and relaxed settings. The imagery of them 'esparramado no colchão' (sprawled on the mattress) like a starfish suggests a sense of comfort and contentment that comes from being close to a loved one. This setting is contrasted with the outside world, which, despite its beauty, holds no appeal compared to the warmth and affection found in their private space.

The song explores the theme of possessiveness, a feeling that the protagonist admits was not a part of their nature before falling in love. The repeated line 'Eu que nem era tão possessiva, agora quero você só pra mim' (I who wasn't so possessive, now I want you just for me) highlights this transformation. Love, as described in the song, is unpredictable and can catch one by surprise, leading to a deep attachment and a desire to keep the loved one close. This possessiveness is not portrayed negatively but rather as a natural outcome of the intense affection and connection they share.

Melim's gentle and melodic style enhances the song's themes, making the listener feel the warmth and intimacy described in the lyrics. The comparison of kissing the loved one to enjoying a dessert ('Beijar sua boca é melhor que sobremesa') and the metaphor of being tied together like 'tênis e cadarço' (tennis shoes and laces) further emphasize the deep bond and satisfaction found in their relationship. The song captures the essence of finding joy in simple, shared moments and the profound impact love can have on one's life and behavior.
