É sempre assim

In 'É sempre assim,' Refla delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the frustrating cycles that come with it. The song opens with a greeting to the audience, setting a casual and relatable tone. The lyrics quickly transition into the heart of the matter: the protagonist's love interest is elusive, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. This inconsistency drives the protagonist to the brink of madness, as they yearn for the physical and emotional connection that is always just out of reach.

The chorus emphasizes the repetitive nature of this torment. The protagonist lives in a state of monotony, caught between desire and reality. They express a longing to break free from the fantasy that their love life has become. The frustration is palpable as they grapple with the constant push and pull, where their love interest only reaches out when they have almost moved on. This cyclical pattern keeps the protagonist trapped in a loop of hope and disappointment.

The bridge of the song highlights the protagonist's struggle to let go of a love that is clearly detrimental to their well-being. They acknowledge the harm this love causes, yet find it difficult to break free. The repeated plea to 'stop the nonsense' and the desire to 'write another story' underscores a yearning for change and a healthier relationship. The song concludes with a catchy refrain, reinforcing the emotional rollercoaster that defines the protagonist's experience. Refla's 'É sempre assim' captures the essence of unrequited love and the emotional chaos it brings, resonating with anyone who has ever felt trapped in a similar cycle.
