Lápis (part. Pablo)

In the song "Lápis (feat. Pablo)", Evoney Fernandes explores the tumultuous emotions of trying to move on from a past relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of determination mixed with vulnerability, as the protagonist lists out steps to forget their former lover. The repeated enumeration of actions—"never kiss your mouth again," "keep distance from your bed," and "try not to drink"—highlights the struggle and the conscious effort required to break free from the emotional ties that bind them to their ex-partner.

The metaphor of writing these resolutions in pencil, rather than pen, is particularly poignant. It suggests a lack of finality and an acknowledgment of human frailty. The protagonist admits that they might "pass a rubber" (erase) and return to their former lover, indicating that their resolve is not set in stone. This metaphor captures the essence of many breakups, where the heart and mind are often at odds, and the path to moving on is rarely straightforward.

Evoney Fernandes, along with Pablo, brings a relatable and heartfelt narrative to life through this song. The lyrics resonate with anyone who has experienced the difficulty of letting go, only to find themselves wavering in their decision. The song's emotional depth is enhanced by its simple yet powerful imagery, making it a compelling exploration of love, loss, and the human condition.
