Obscuro

Scalene's song 'Obscuro' delves into the murky depths of human hypocrisy and the loss of innocence. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has become accustomed to the darkness within themselves and others. The repeated line 'Quero ver seu corpo arder no escuro' (I want to see your body burn in the dark) suggests a desire to expose and confront these hidden, darker aspects. The song speaks to the internal struggle and fear that comes with recognizing one's own flaws and the consequences of one's actions.

The chorus, with its haunting 'Na na na' refrain, underscores the emotional weight of the song. The lines 'Olha o que fez, enquanto eu sangrava' (Look at what you did, while I was bleeding) and 'Te encontro no abismo' (I meet you in the abyss) highlight a sense of betrayal and the inevitable reckoning that follows. The imagery of bleeding and the abyss suggests deep emotional pain and a confrontation with one's own guilt and hypocrisy.

In the bridge, the song poses a series of existential questions: 'E quanto a você, o que faz? Pra onde vai? O que tem? De onde vem?' (And what about you, what do you do? Where are you going? What do you have? Where do you come from?). These questions challenge the listener to reflect on their own actions and the origins of their behavior. The song ultimately serves as a powerful commentary on the human condition, urging introspection and accountability in the face of our darker impulses.
