Escuta

In 'Escuta,' Soarito delves into the complexities of a relationship that teeters between friendship and something more. The song's title, which translates to 'Listen,' sets the tone for a narrative that is both introspective and revealing. The lyrics suggest a dynamic where communication is strained, yet there is an undeniable connection that keeps the two individuals intertwined. Soarito's use of the word 'bae' indicates a term of endearment, hinting at a deeper emotional bond that transcends mere friendship.

The song's chorus highlights a recurring theme of miscommunication. The lines 'Te cansas de falar e eu nem sequer vou ouvir' ('You get tired of talking and I won't even listen') and 'Vais tentar me enganar, mas não vais conseguir' ('You'll try to deceive me, but you won't succeed') suggest a relationship fraught with misunderstandings and unspoken truths. Despite these challenges, the presence of kizomba—a genre of dance and music known for its sensuality and connection—serves as a metaphor for the magnetic pull between the two. The kizomba keeps them together, symbolizing a deeper, almost primal connection that words fail to capture.

Soarito's lyrics also touch on themes of honesty and self-awareness. The line 'Tô-te a ser sincero, boo, já encontrei assim' ('I'm being honest with you, boo, I've already found this') indicates a level of transparency that contrasts with the earlier mentions of deception. This duality adds layers to the relationship, making it clear that while there are moments of frustration and miscommunication, there is also a genuine effort to understand and connect. The song's closing plea, 'Escuta,' serves as a final call for attention and understanding, encapsulating the emotional rollercoaster that defines their relationship.
