Prazo Marcado

In the song "Prazo Marcado" by Fred e Gustavo, the lyrics delve into the complexities of a relationship on the verge of collapse. The song's narrator expresses frustration and sorrow over the partner's inability to see the deteriorating state of their love. The phrase "Não era bem assim que tava combinado" (It wasn't supposed to be like this) sets the tone, indicating that the relationship has deviated from its intended path. The lack of a "prazo marcado" (set deadline) for ending the relationship suggests that the breakup is not inevitable, but the current trajectory is leading them there.

The repeated line "E só você não vê" (And only you don't see) highlights the partner's obliviousness to the damage being done. The narrator feels that time is slipping away, and with it, the chance to salvage their love. The partner's actions are described as self-destructive, causing a rift that the narrator can no longer ignore. This emotional distance is poignantly captured in the line "E você se perdendo e eu me afastando" (And you getting lost and me distancing myself).

The song's plea for reconciliation is encapsulated in the final verse, where the narrator urges the partner to let go of their anger and return to a place of love and intimacy. "Jogue essa raiva pro espaço" (Throw this anger into space) and "Traga os seus abraços pros meus braços" (Bring your hugs to my arms) are heartfelt appeals for a return to the warmth and closeness they once shared. The song beautifully captures the pain of a love that is slipping away and the desperate hope for a rekindling of the lost connection.
