Disfarça / Engano / Tenho Medo

Sorriso Maroto's song 'Disfarça / Engano / Tenho Medo' delves deep into the complexities of love, heartbreak, and the internal conflicts that arise from unspoken emotions. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship fraught with misunderstandings and unfulfilled promises. The song begins with a nostalgic tone, reminiscing about happier times, but quickly transitions into a plea for reconciliation. The repeated use of 'disfarça' (disguise) highlights the facade both parties maintain, hiding their true feelings and the pain they endure.

The second part of the song, 'Engano' (deception), reflects on the disillusionment that comes with broken promises and unmet expectations. The lyrics suggest that the relationship was built on false hopes, leading to a sense of betrayal and regret. The line 'Como salvar em nós o que não existiu' (How to save in us what never existed) poignantly captures the futility of trying to salvage something that was never real. This section underscores the emotional toll of clinging to a love that has lost its essence.

In 'Tenho Medo' (I'm Afraid), the song takes a more introspective turn, exploring the fear of losing a cherished connection. The protagonist grapples with the dilemma of whether to confess their true feelings or to keep them hidden to avoid further pain. The lyrics reveal a deep-seated fear of rejection and the potential loss of a valuable friendship. The internal conflict is palpable, as the protagonist weighs the risks of honesty against the comfort of maintaining the status quo. This part of the song encapsulates the vulnerability and courage required to confront one's emotions and the uncertainty that comes with it.
