As Quatro

In 'As Quatro,' Pollo delves into the emotional aftermath of a tumultuous relationship, capturing the raw and often conflicting feelings that arise when love turns sour. The song opens with the narrator reflecting on how they exceeded their partner's expectations, only to find themselves unexpectedly falling in love. This love, however, was not reciprocated in a healthy manner, leading to a realization that the partner's issues were not external but internal. The narrator sees through the facade and recognizes the true nature of their partner, deciding to distance themselves for the sake of their own peace.

The recurring line, 'Às 4 da madrugada ela me acorda e, eu não quero nada, eu não quero nada não,' symbolizes the intrusive and persistent nature of the partner's presence, even in the early hours of the morning. This line underscores the narrator's desire to move on and find tranquility, free from the chaos that the relationship brought into their life. The song's chorus serves as a mantra of sorts, reinforcing the narrator's resolve to reject any further emotional turmoil.

Pollo also touches on the lingering sense of loss and nostalgia that often accompanies the end of a relationship. The narrator admits to missing their partner during moments of solitude or while out with friends, but ultimately concludes that it's better to remain calm and avoid further suffering. The metaphor of the heart becoming 'opaco' (opaque) after being repeatedly hurt highlights the emotional numbness that can result from such experiences. The song's candid exploration of these themes resonates with anyone who has navigated the complexities of love and heartbreak, making 'As Quatro' a poignant reflection on self-discovery and emotional resilience.
