Quarta Dose

Marília Tavares' song "Quarta Dose" delves into the emotional journey of overcoming a painful betrayal. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of disillusionment and heartbreak, where the protagonist realizes that appearances can be deceiving. The phrase "Quem vê cara de anjo não vê coração" (Who sees an angelic face doesn't see the heart) underscores the theme of deceit and the painful lesson learned through tears. The protagonist acknowledges that they were deceived by someone who seemed innocent but ultimately caused deep emotional wounds.

The chorus of the song uses the metaphor of vaccination to describe the process of healing and building immunity against the pain caused by the betrayal. The repeated lines "E tomei uma, duas, três, e vacinado contra o seu amor" (I took one, two, three, and vaccinated against your love) signify the gradual strengthening of the protagonist's emotional resilience. By the time they reach the "quarta dose" (fourth dose), they are fully immune to the manipulative and hurtful actions of their former lover. This metaphor cleverly ties into contemporary themes of vaccination and immunity, making the song relatable and timely.

The song's repetition of the chorus emphasizes the protagonist's newfound strength and determination to move on. The line "Sua variante não pegou" (Your variant didn't catch) signifies that no matter how the ex-lover tries to re-enter their life, the protagonist is now impervious to their influence. This powerful message of self-empowerment and emotional recovery resonates deeply with listeners who have experienced similar heartbreaks. Marília Tavares' poignant lyrics and emotive delivery make "Quarta Dose" a compelling anthem of resilience and personal growth.
