Graveto

In 'Graveto,' Péricles delves into the emotional landscape of a relationship that has lost its spark. The song's title, which translates to 'Twig,' serves as a metaphor for the futile attempts to rekindle a dying flame. Péricles begins by admitting that the relationship has reached its end, noting that even the bed has grown cold, symbolizing the physical and emotional distance between the couple. The repeated line, 'Não adianta por graveto na fogueira que não pega mais,' emphasizes the futility of trying to revive something that is beyond repair.

The lyrics poignantly describe the transformation of the partner into a mere memory within the confines of their home. The once intimate space has turned into a 'labirinto,' or labyrinth, highlighting the confusion and emotional disarray that now characterize their interactions. The imagery of the partner avoiding the bed and retreating to the living room underscores the growing emotional chasm. This avoidance signifies a lack of interest in maintaining the relationship, further deepening the sense of isolation and loneliness.

Péricles, known for his soulful voice and emotive delivery, captures the essence of heartbreak and resignation in 'Graveto.' The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the slow, painful dissolution of a once-loving relationship. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the inevitability of the breakup, making it clear that no amount of effort can reignite the extinguished flame. Through 'Graveto,' Péricles offers a raw and honest portrayal of love's end, wrapped in the rich, melodic tones of his music.
