Greve de Amor

In 'Greve de Amor,' Monetário e Financeiro delve into the emotional turmoil of a love that has gone silent. The song opens with a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the absence of communication, highlighting the deep void left by the lack of the beloved's voice. This silence is not just a lack of sound but a profound emotional gap that has grown between the two individuals. The repetition of 'faz tanto tempo' (it's been so long) underscores the enduring nature of this separation and the pain it brings.

The lyrics further explore the longing and confusion felt by the narrator, who questions why their partner seems to be playing with their emotions. Despite their efforts to give love and pleasure, they are met with distance and indifference. This unreciprocated affection leads to a sense of helplessness and frustration, as the narrator's only desire was to love and be loved in return. The use of direct and simple language makes the emotional weight of these lines even more impactful, as it conveys a raw and honest expression of heartache.

The chorus reveals the depth of the narrator's suffering, with their heart described as being in a state of protest, having 'suffered and cried' and now on a 'strike of love.' This metaphor of a heart on strike vividly illustrates the emotional exhaustion and refusal to continue enduring pain. The phrase 'é você não tem jeito' (you are hopeless) suggests a resignation to the fact that the partner will not change, and the love they once shared is irreparably damaged. Through this song, Monetário e Financeiro capture the essence of a love that has been worn down by silence and unfulfilled promises, leaving a heart that can no longer bear the weight of its sorrow.
