Hábito Previsível (feat. Gusttavo Lima)
Rionegro e Solimões
The Unyielding Grip of Love and Longing
The song 'Hábito Previsível' by Rionegro e Solimões, featuring Gusttavo Lima, delves into the depths of unrelenting love and the pain of separation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is utterly consumed by thoughts of their beloved. From dreaming about them to having their image as a computer wallpaper, the protagonist's life is saturated with memories and longing. This constant preoccupation with the loved one highlights the intensity of their feelings and the difficulty of moving on.
The recurring line, 'Se o remédio for te esquecer, eu vou continuar doente' (If the cure is to forget you, I will remain sick), underscores the protagonist's unwillingness and inability to let go. This metaphor of love as an illness that cannot be cured by forgetting emphasizes the depth of their emotional attachment. The daily routine, marked by the absence of the loved one, becomes a painful reminder of their solitude. The imagery of two plates and two glasses for one person poignantly illustrates the void left by the loved one.
The chorus amplifies the sense of accumulated longing and desire, with the protagonist pleading for a response and help from their beloved, whom they see as their only cure. The repetition of the phrase 'Só você é minha cura' (Only you are my cure) reinforces the idea that the loved one is irreplaceable. The song captures the essence of a love that is so profound and consuming that the thought of being with someone else is unbearable. This emotional narrative is a testament to the enduring power of love and the pain of unfulfilled longing, resonating deeply with anyone who has experienced similar feelings.
