Entras Ou Sais

Ruivo's song "Entras Ou Sais" delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a relationship on the brink of collapse. The lyrics reveal a narrative of love, regret, and the struggle for self-identity within the confines of a tumultuous partnership. The repeated line, "Tu pensas que me conheces, mas não conheces assim tão bem" (You think you know me, but you don't know me that well), underscores the disconnect and misunderstanding between the two lovers. This refrain highlights the protagonist's frustration with being misunderstood and the superficial nature of their partner's perception of them.

The chorus, "Eu não vou mais ficar aqui, para te ver fugir de mim, eu não aguento mais, ou entras, ou sais" (I won't stay here anymore, to watch you run away from me, I can't take it anymore, either you come in or you leave), serves as an ultimatum. It reflects the protagonist's breaking point, where they can no longer endure the emotional rollercoaster and demand a definitive resolution. This ultimatum is a powerful statement about self-respect and the need for clarity in a relationship that has become toxic and draining.

Throughout the song, Ruivo uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey the depth of his pain and longing. Lines like "O perfume que tu la deixaste hoje em dia é veneno" (The perfume you left there today is poison) and "Drogado no teu amor mas eu já tava a tripar me" (Drugged on your love but I was already tripping) illustrate the intoxicating yet destructive nature of the relationship. The song also touches on themes of regret and self-reflection, as the protagonist acknowledges their own mistakes and the impact of the relationship on their mental health. Ultimately, "Entras Ou Sais" is a poignant exploration of love's complexities and the difficult choices one must make to preserve their own well-being.
