Símbolo Sexual

Passo Torto's song 'Símbolo Sexual' delves into the complex and often contradictory nature of human desire. The lyrics revolve around a 'símbolo sexual' (sexual symbol) that resides beneath the belly, a metaphor for the primal and instinctual aspects of sexuality. This symbol is personified, given the ability to look, speak, and express a desire to kiss, indicating a deep, almost sentient connection between the physical and emotional facets of desire.

The song further explores how this symbol communicates about 'the things of the world,' suggesting that sexuality is not just a personal experience but also a lens through which one can understand broader human experiences and emotions. The symbol's actions—eating, consuming, punishing—highlight the dual nature of desire as both fulfilling and exhausting. When confronted directly, it provokes fatigue, illustrating the draining yet compelling power of sexual attraction.

In the latter part of the song, the symbol sings a 'cantiga de amigo' (a friend’s song) into the narrator's ear, blending comfort with seduction. This duality continues as the symbol awakens the narrator, who is 'crying with hunger' by morning, symbolizing an insatiable longing that persists even after temporary satisfaction. The imagery of waking up 'raivoso' (angry) and 'chorando de fome' (crying with hunger) captures the relentless and often frustrating nature of human desire, making 'Símbolo Sexual' a poignant exploration of the complexities of sexual and emotional needs.
