Titanic

WAZE's song "Titanic" uses the infamous maritime disaster as a powerful metaphor for a relationship that has hit rock bottom. The repeated comparison of their love to the Titanic, a ship that famously sank after hitting an iceberg, underscores the depth of the emotional wreckage. The lyrics convey a sense of finality and irreversible damage, much like the fate of the Titanic. The phrase "Bati no fundo eu tou sem guito" (I hit rock bottom, I'm broke) emphasizes the personal and financial toll the relationship has taken on the narrator.

The song also delves into themes of betrayal and disillusionment. The narrator recounts how his partner's actions have led to a deep sense of betrayal, symbolized by the imagery of her entering another man's house and wearing the lingerie he had gifted her. This act of infidelity is a stark contrast to the romanticized vision of a "Bonnie and Clyde" relationship he once desired. The repeated refrain "Não penses que volto para ti" (Don't think I'll come back to you) signifies a resolute decision to move on, despite the emotional turmoil.

Cultural references to gangsta life and the West Side add another layer to the song, highlighting the narrator's struggle to reconcile his own identity with the expectations and judgments of others. The line "Eu nunca fui gangsta como os boys lá da West Side" (I was never a gangsta like the boys from the West Side) suggests a longing for a different kind of life, one that perhaps aligns more closely with his own values and aspirations. The song's raw and candid lyrics, combined with its evocative metaphors, make "Titanic" a poignant exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery.
