The Insatiable Void: A Journey Through Pitty's 'Boca Aberta'

In 'Boca Aberta,' Pitty delves into the existential struggle of trying to fill an insatiable void within the soul. The song opens with a vivid metaphor, describing the soul as a 'bottomless pit' that people constantly attempt to fill with various distractions and pursuits. These range from spiritual endeavors like deities and therapy to materialistic and hedonistic pursuits such as credit cards, fast cars, fleeting affections, and wild nights. The lyrics paint a picture of a relentless quest for fulfillment, highlighting the futility and transient nature of these efforts.

The recurring imagery of an 'open mouth' consuming everything in its path serves as a powerful metaphor for this insatiable hunger for meaning and satisfaction. Despite the myriad of experiences and possessions one might acquire, the void remains unfilled, leading to a perpetual state of longing and dissatisfaction. This theme is further emphasized in the chorus, where the singer expresses a desire to live in the moment, only to wake up the next day yearning for a return to a more meaningful life.

Pitty's lyrics also touch on the various ways people try to fill this void, from relationships and friendships to beauty and poetry. However, these too are depicted as temporary fixes that fail to provide lasting fulfillment. The song captures the essence of modern existential angst, where the pursuit of happiness often leads to a cycle of temporary highs and inevitable lows. Through 'Boca Aberta,' Pitty offers a poignant reflection on the human condition, urging listeners to confront the deeper questions of existence and the true sources of fulfillment in their lives.
