Bloqueado Não É Esquecido

Henry Freitas' song 'Bloqueado Não É Esquecido' delves into the emotional aftermath of a breakup, where one party attempts to move on by cutting off contact, yet the lingering feelings remain. The lyrics suggest that despite the protagonist's ex-partner's efforts to forget him, including blocking him on their phone, the emotional connection is not so easily severed. The repeated lines 'Pode me evitar, mas esquecer tem nem perigo / Não adianta bloquear / Bloqueado não é esquecido' translate to 'You can avoid me, but forgetting is not even a danger / It's no use blocking / Blocked is not forgotten,' emphasizing the futility of trying to forget someone by simply blocking them out of one's life.

The song uses vivid imagery to convey the depth of the ex-partner's unresolved feelings. The 'sorriso meia boca,' or half-hearted smile, and the 'saudade louca,' or crazy longing, suggest a facade of happiness that fails to mask the true emotions underneath. The mention of the protagonist's name, a heart, and a grayed-out photo on the ex's phone serves as a metaphor for the presence that he still holds in their life, despite the outward attempt to erase him.
