Miopia

SóCiro's song 'Miopia' delves into the complexities of love, addiction, and existential contemplation. The title itself, which translates to 'Myopia' in English, sets the stage for a narrative where clarity is elusive, and the protagonist grapples with blurred perceptions, both literally and metaphorically. The opening lines, 'E as velas pingaram cera no meu rosto / E eu nunca estive tão perto assim,' evoke a sense of physical and emotional proximity to pain and confusion, as the protagonist feels the burning wax on their face and the letters of reality blur before their eyes.

The lyrics weave a tapestry of vices, regrets, and fleeting moments of beauty. The line 'São seus olhos vendo o precipício / Beirando a morte entrego meu ofício' suggests a dance with death and a surrender to one's fate, highlighting the protagonist's struggle with inner demons. The recurring mention of 'lentes' (lenses) and 'lábios' (lips) symbolizes the search for clarity and the silencing of truth, questioning whether conforming to societal expectations would bring peace.

The chorus, with its raw and provocative language, 'Ô sua filha da puta, linda / Venha, minha sina / Me dá vida,' juxtaposes harshness with affection, reflecting the tumultuous nature of the protagonist's relationship with their muse or fate. This duality underscores the song's exploration of love as both a life-giving and destructive force. SóCiro's poetic and introspective lyrics invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences with love, addiction, and the search for meaning in a world where clarity is often out of reach.
