Wi-Fi (feat. Luan Pereira)
Traia Véia
The Fragile Connection: Love in the Digital Age
The song 'WI-FI' by Traia Véia featuring Luan Pereira delves into the complexities of modern relationships, using the metaphor of a failing internet connection to describe the emotional distance between two people. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship where communication has become sporadic and unreliable, much like a weak Wi-Fi signal. The protagonist questions why their partner doesn't respond to video calls after 10 PM, hinting at possible infidelity or hidden secrets. This suspicion is further fueled by the lack of heartfelt 'I love yous' that once made their heart vibrate with joy.
The chorus cleverly uses the metaphor of a slow and lagging Wi-Fi connection to illustrate the emotional disconnect. When the Wi-Fi is slow and buffering, it suggests that there are too many users on the network, implying that the partner's attention and affection are being divided among others. This metaphor extends beyond the literal sense, highlighting the protagonist's growing concern and frustration over the deteriorating state of their relationship. The repeated line, 'And I'm not even talking about the internet,' drives home the point that the issue is not technological but emotional.
Traia Véia and Luan Pereira's collaboration brings a contemporary twist to the age-old theme of love and trust. The song captures the essence of how digital metaphors can be used to express real-life emotional struggles. The repeated refrain, 'Do seu amor eu tô me desligando' (I'm disconnecting from your love), signifies the protagonist's decision to emotionally detach from a relationship that no longer brings them happiness. This modern take on love and connection resonates with listeners who navigate their own relationships in an increasingly digital world.
