Órfão

Scatolove's song "Órfão" delves into the emotional and psychological turmoil of an orphaned child. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young person grappling with feelings of abandonment and confusion. The opening lines, "A primeira viagem, a gente não esquece dentro da caixa / Eu vejo o mundo e três batidas na porta," suggest a sense of being confined and isolated, with the world outside being both a mystery and a source of anxiety. The repeated questioning, "Será que eu fiz alguma coisa de errado?" reflects the child's internal struggle to understand why they have been left alone, feeling as though they might be to blame for their situation.

The song also touches on the harsh realities of growing up without parental guidance. The lines, "Não faz nem nove meses, que fiquei pronto / E ainda sinto o umbigo me alimentando," evoke a sense of premature separation from a nurturing environment. The imagery of the umbilical cord still feeding the child underscores the abruptness and cruelty of their abandonment. The coldness described, "Mas que como aqui o frio congela o choro pra ninguém ouvir," symbolizes the emotional numbness and the suppression of their cries for help, highlighting the loneliness and neglect they experience.

As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal the child's desperate hope for a better future, "Se eu me comportar / Alguém vai me levar / Só tenho até os 18." This reflects the limited time they have to find a family or a place where they belong before they age out of the system. The repeated refrain, "Será que eu não fui planejado? / E agora eu pago o pato / A vista e sem desconto," conveys a deep sense of unworthiness and the harsh reality of facing life's challenges without support. The song poignantly captures the emotional landscape of an orphan, making the listener empathize with their plight and the societal issues surrounding orphanhood.
