Risquei Você

Silva's song 'Risquei Você' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the struggle to communicate feelings that remain unreciprocated. The lyrics open with the singer expressing that they have done everything possible to convey their emotions, even comparing their efforts to the eloquence of Demosthenes, an ancient Greek orator known for his persuasive speeches. Despite these efforts, the recipient of their affection remains indifferent, likened to an actress who convincingly feigns emotions. This unresponsiveness leaves the singer feeling like an inexperienced novice, unable to make their feelings understood without resorting to drawing them out in chalk.

The song is rich with artistic metaphors, drawing parallels between the singer's emotional state and the works of famous artists. The mention of Gaudí and Tarsila do Amaral suggests a desire to create a new, beautiful reality, while the reference to Salvador Dalí's surrealism indicates the surreal and distorted nature of their current emotional landscape. The singer feels trapped in a personal 'Inferno,' a nod to Dante's 'Divine Comedy,' highlighting the torment of their unfulfilled love.

In the latter part of the song, the singer pleads for help or a decisive push from the Christ the Redeemer statue, symbolizing a need for divine intervention or a dramatic change. The mention of Maxwell, likely a reference to the British physicist James Clerk Maxwell, contrasts the singer's giant love with the scientific precision and rationality that seem absent in their emotional chaos. The song concludes with a poignant declaration of the enormity of their love, despite the pain and confusion it brings.
