Uma, duas ou Três

Os Ostras' song 'Uma, duas ou Três' delves into the complex emotions of longing and self-deception. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the absence of a significant other. The repeated lines, 'Você não sabe quanta falta que você me fez,' emphasize the deep sense of loss and yearning. The protagonist's daily rituals, described humorously and somewhat crudely, serve as a coping mechanism for this emotional void. The mention of 'descascava uma, duas ou três' and 'pensava em revista porn' highlights a raw, unfiltered portrayal of loneliness and the lengths to which one might go to fill that emptiness.

The song also touches on societal judgments and labels. The protagonist is aware of how others perceive him, with terms like 'egoísta,' 'punheteiro,' 'sem vergonha,' 'justiceiro,' and 'machista' being thrown around. These labels reflect the societal tendency to judge and categorize individuals based on their coping mechanisms and behaviors. However, the twist in the lyrics, 'Mas a verdade é que você nunca fez falta nenhuma,' reveals a layer of irony and self-deception. Despite the protagonist's claims of missing the other person, there's an underlying assertion that they never truly needed them, suggesting a complex interplay between genuine emotion and self-protective denial.

The song's repetitive 'Uuuuu... uuuu...' serves as a haunting backdrop, echoing the protagonist's internal struggle and the cyclical nature of their thoughts. Os Ostras uses this repetition to create a sense of continuity and inevitability, mirroring the protagonist's daily routines and emotional turmoil. The raw honesty and irony in 'Uma, duas ou Três' make it a poignant exploration of human vulnerability, societal judgment, and the masks we wear to protect ourselves from deeper truths.
