Desconcentração
Marcelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Andar na linha que é o exato risco de te perder
Me concentrar nos discos que eu não ouço já faz muito tempo
Ler os livros que você me indicou
E que pra mim são um tormento
Lavar minhas roupas do seu cheiro
Apagar o seus emails
Toda noite eu me concentro eu
Toda noite, me concentro
Tanta tanta tanta
Tanta concentração que eu me desconcertei
Distraidamente mente
Quer dizer, minto
Eu até sonhei com você
Te vi num filme mudo
Eu te vi em tudo
In "Desconcentração," Marcelle explores the theme of losing focus and concentration due to thoughts of a past lover. The lyrics reflect the struggle of trying to move on from a romantic relationship and the difficulties and distractions that arise.
In the first paragraph, Marcelle expresses an inability to afford dwelling on thoughts of this person. There is a fear of walking a fine line between holding onto them and losing them completely. Instead, the focus shifts to other things, such as neglected music and books recommended by the lover, which have now become a source of torment. This suggests that the memories and reminders of the relationship are still present and affecting Marcelle's daily life.
The second paragraph delves into the process of detachment. Marcelle longs to remove any traces of the past relationship, such as the lingering scent on clothes and erasing emails received from the lover. These acts serve as a means of not knowing any more about this person, attempting to break free from their influence. However, the repetition of the phrase "Toda noite eu me concentro eu // Toda noite, me concentro" highlights the internal struggle, as Marcelle still finds themselves deeply focused on the past lover despite their best efforts.
In the third paragraph, the lyrics affirm the overwhelming nature of this experience by repeating the word "tanta" (meaning "so much" in Portuguese). Marcelle admits that their intense concentration has caused them to become disconcerted or disoriented. The persistent thoughts of the past lover have disrupted their ability to be fully present and focused on other aspects of their life.
The final paragraph introduces a shift in perspective and reveals Marcelle's inner conflict. The phrase "Distraidamente mente // Quer dizer, minto" suggests Marcelle is trying to deceive themselves by appearing distracted and disinterested when, in reality, their mind is preoccupied with thoughts of the past lover. Even in dreams, the presence of this person remains strong, as evidenced by the line "Te vi num filme mudo // Eu te vi em tudo." This further emphasizes the difficulty of moving on and the lasting impact this person has had on Marcelle's life.
In summary, the lyrics of "Desconcentração" delve into the struggles of letting go of a past lover. Marcelle highlights the constant battle to redirect their focus to other aspects of life, only to find themselves constantly drawn back to thoughts of the person they hope to forget. The song encapsulates the internal conflict, distractions, and disorientation that arise when trying to find closure and move on from a significant romantic relationship.
