A Vida Que Ela Tem

Nina Baiocchi's song "A Vida Que Ela Tem" delves into the pervasive issue of social media envy and the unrealistic standards it sets. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is constantly comparing their life to the seemingly perfect lives they see online. The opening lines, "Bom dia, boa noite / Foto em Paris / Eu vejo a vida dela / Igual vejo a Netflix," highlight how social media has become a constant stream of curated moments, much like a never-ending TV show. This comparison sets the stage for the song's exploration of the emotional toll this can take on individuals.

The song's protagonist grapples with feelings of inadequacy and the desire to transform themselves to fit these idealized images. Lines like "Ela nem sabe que eu existo / Mas não tem problema / Ela é mais uma que eu sigo" and "Eu vou botar silicone / Mudar de RG, ou até mudo de nome" reveal a deep-seated insecurity and a willingness to go to extreme lengths to achieve a similar level of perceived perfection. The repeated mention of cosmetic surgeries and changing one's identity underscores the drastic measures some people consider to feel better about themselves.

Baiocchi also touches on the broader societal implications of these feelings. The lyrics, "Complexos futuros / Complexos passados / E o mundo repete / Um padrão inalcançável," critique the cyclical nature of these unattainable standards perpetuated by the media. The song suggests that this constant comparison and the resulting envy can be harmful, as highlighted in the lines, "Será que ninguém vê / Que a inveja também mata?" By personifying envy and inviting it in for coffee, the song poignantly illustrates how these feelings can become a part of one's daily life, further emphasizing the need for self-acceptance and a critical view of social media's impact.
