Textão

Liniker's 'Textão' is a song that delves into the complexities of intimacy and the desire for a deeper connection beyond the physical act of sex. The lyrics, written in a poetic and somewhat abstract manner, emphasize the importance of taking time to truly engage with one's partner, suggesting that a meaningful sexual experience cannot be rushed or superficial.

The song begins with a direct address, almost like a plea, to take time and not to rush through sex ('Não se trepa em 15 minutos'). The use of the word 'trepa,' which is a colloquial term for having sex in Portuguese, sets a casual yet intimate tone. The lyrics then move into more metaphorical language, describing the act of sex as something that should provoke a deep feeling, akin to 'morar no desgosto' (living in displeasure), yet still being something one enjoys ('gosta da cena'). This paradoxical description suggests a yearning for an experience that is both profound and pleasurable, one that leaves a lasting impression ('crema, para na poeira teu sabor de existir').

The song continues to build on this theme by comparing the act to enjoying a cigar or engaging in late-night conversations over wine and silk ('Pois até charutos precisam de tempo aceso pra queimar'). These images evoke a sense of leisure and savoring the moment. The lyrics also touch on the emotional aspects of intimacy, mentioning tears in bed and the exchange of glances that communicate desire ('Tem olho que, enquanto eu passo o café, me chama, declama'). Liniker uses these vivid descriptions to argue against the notion of quick, unfulfilling encounters and instead advocates for a more sensual and connected experience ('Não se trepa em 15 minutos, não foge, não viva de susto').
