Jogos e Apostas (feat. PL Quest)

In 'Jogos e Apostas,' Orochi, featuring PL Quest, delves into the complexities of modern life, fame, and personal relationships. The song's title, which translates to 'Games and Bets,' sets the stage for a narrative that explores the high-stakes world the artist inhabits. Orochi begins by acknowledging that his social media presence is a mere fraction of his real life, hinting at the curated nature of online personas. This theme is further emphasized as he describes his desire to escape into a state of euphoria, finding solace in a significant other who acts as his 'new drug' and calming influence.

The lyrics draw a parallel between Orochi's life and the character Thomas Shelby from the TV series 'Peaky Blinders,' a notorious gangster who rises to power through cunning and ruthlessness. This comparison underscores Orochi's ambition and his strategic approach to life, where he navigates through 'games and bets' to become the 'boss.' The mention of 'no masks' suggests a commitment to authenticity, even in a world where deception is commonplace. Orochi's mind, described as the 'most expensive jewel,' signifies his intelligence and value, further highlighting the contrast between his true self and the facade often presented to the public.

The song also touches on themes of materialism and the pursuit of wealth, likening Orochi to a pirate chasing treasure. His 'ship,' a Mercedes with leather seats, symbolizes his success and the luxuries it affords him. However, this opulent lifestyle comes with its own set of challenges, including the constant scrutiny and expectations from others. The recurring line, 'Minha vida não é um terço de tudo que eu posto não,' serves as a reminder that what is seen online is not the full story, and there is much more beneath the surface. Ultimately, 'Jogos e Apostas' is a reflection on the duality of fame and reality, and the personal struggles that come with living in the public eye.
