Cicatriz

Thiago Freitas' song 'Cicatriz' delves deep into the emotional aftermath of a failed relationship. The lyrics are a poignant reflection on regret and the pain of lost love. The narrator laments the choices he made, expressing a sense of sorrow for not prioritizing his partner. This regret is vividly portrayed in lines like 'Se eu tivesse largado os rolê pra ficar com você' (If I had given up the parties to be with you) and 'Se eu tivesse te amado do jeito que era pra ser' (If I had loved you the way I should have). These lines highlight the 'what ifs' that haunt him, suggesting that different choices might have led to a different outcome.

The recurring question 'Se o tempo cura, quanto tempo dura pra cicatrizar?' (If time heals, how long does it take to heal?) underscores the theme of healing and the passage of time. The metaphor of a scar ('cicatriz') is central to the song, symbolizing the lasting impact of emotional wounds. The narrator's decision to block his ex-partner on social media ('Vou começar te bloqueando') is a coping mechanism to avoid further pain and to begin the healing process. This act of blocking is both a literal and metaphorical step towards moving on, even though it is clear that the scars of the past relationship still linger.

The song also touches on the theme of learning from mistakes. The line 'Aprendi errando que eu te perdi' (I learned by making mistakes that I lost you) suggests a painful but necessary self-awareness. The repetition of 'Perdi pra valer' (I really lost) emphasizes the finality and depth of his loss. Through this introspective journey, 'Cicatriz' captures the universal experience of heartbreak and the slow, often painful process of healing.
