Perfume
Entre Aspas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Passeia por mim livremente... como se fosse gentil
Oh ah ah... ah ah... ah ah...
Ah ah... ah ah... ah ah...
Se me aparece de repente... inspiro-o profundamente
Para desvendá-lo, para decifrá-lo, queria agarrá-lo...
P'ra não fugir... p'ra não fugir...
P'ra não fugir... p'ra não fugir... oh ah ah ah...
Mas ele insiste, ele insiste... brinca comigo devagar
Leva-me à minha memória... convida-me a divagar
Oohhh... oohhh... oohhh... ah ah...
Queria agarrá-lo, metê-lo no meu frasco, fechá-lo bem p'ra não fugir...
P'ra não fugir... p'ra não fugir...
P'ra não fugir... p'ra não fugir...
Queria agarrá-lo, metê-lo no meu frasco, fechá-lo bem p'ra não fugir...
The song "Perfume" by Entre Aspas is about how the scent of a particular perfume can linger and haunt someone. The lyrics describe the scent as "hot, strong and subtle", which implies that it is both intense and understated at the same time. The singer feels pursued by the perfume, as if it is following them everywhere they go. They inhale it deeply, trying to understand and capture it in their mind, and even wish they could bottle it up and keep it from escaping.
Despite the singer's desire to possess the perfume, it seems to elude them, teasing them gradually and leading them on a journey of memory and reflection. The song has a dreamy quality to it, as if the perfume is a symbol of some unresolved or intangible desire that can never be fully grasped. The lyrics repeat the phrase "queria agarrá-lo" or "I wanted to grab it", emphasizing the singer's sense of yearning and frustration.
Overall, "Perfume" is a sensual and introspective song that is open to interpretation in terms of what the perfume may represent. It could be a metaphor for a lost love, a forgotten memory, or simply a longing for something out of reach.
