Baby Suporte
Barão Vermelho Lyrics

In Barão Vermelho's song "Baby Suporte," the lyrics appear to be addressing someone who is struggling in a relationship. The lines "Amor escravo de nenhuma palavra / Não era isso que você procurava" suggest that the person feeling "escravo" (slave) to love wasn't what they were looking for. The next line, "Não viu no fundo da retina a mágoa / A luz confusa onde o tudo é nada," indicates that they may have been blinded by their feelings and neglected to see the pain and confusion in their partner's eyes.

The following verse deepens the melancholic mood with "A esperança está grudada na carne / Que diferença há entre o amor e o escárnio? / Cada carinho é o fio de uma navalha." The use of the metaphor that "esperança," or hope, is "grudada na carne," or stuck to one's skin, illustrates the inevitability and difficulty of letting go of hope even when it hurts. The question, "What difference is there between love and scorn?" highlights the thin line between positive and negative emotions in a relationship. The final line, "Cada carinho é o fio de uma navalha," reinforces the fragility of the relationship and how even the slightest gestures can hurt.

Overall, "Baby Suporte" appears to be a song about the difficulties of love and relationships, referencing the pain, confusion, and difficulty in letting go. It seems to be an ode to the importance of staying strong and offering "suporte," or support, through the challenges of love.
