Escorpião

In 'Escorpião,' Matheus de Bezerra crafts a vivid and poetic exploration of a complex and passionate relationship. The song's title, which translates to 'Scorpion,' sets the tone for the intense and sometimes dangerous nature of the love described. The 'scorpion's kiss' metaphorically represents a love that is both alluring and potentially harmful, increasing the protagonist's emotional demands and expectations. This duality is a recurring theme throughout the song, highlighting the intricate balance between pleasure and pain in their relationship.

The lyrics are rich with natural imagery and metaphors, painting a picture of a love that is deeply intertwined with the natural world. References to 'national film scenes,' 'open-air architecture,' and 'the sun kissing your face' evoke a sense of timeless beauty and connection. The lover's physical attributes, such as 'leopard spots' and 'the wind in your hair,' are likened to elements of the forest and sky, suggesting a primal and elemental bond. This connection is further emphasized by the idea of the lover's voice as a 'mantra' that brings peace, indicating a spiritual dimension to their relationship.

Despite acknowledging that their love 'doesn't work,' the song celebrates the very flaws and imperfections that make their bond unique and compelling. The lyrics speak to a rebellious and unconventional love, one that 'tears up contracts' and defies societal norms. This defiance is not just a rejection of external expectations but also an embrace of their own abstract and deeply personal connection. The song's closing lines reiterate the transformative power of their love, with the 'scorpion's kiss' ultimately heightening the protagonist's emotional depth and sensitivity.
