Havana
Neologisticism Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pra não ter que te encarar
Afogo na piscina
Pra você me salvar
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
Eu só quero brincar com você
Tenho todos que quero
Mas perco o ar quando te vejo
Saio com seus vizinhos
Só pra você me notar
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero, quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero, quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Não me despreze
Eu sou pior que você
Não tenha medo
Eu só quero brincar
The lyrics to Neologisticism's song Havana explore the theme of unrequited love and the fantasies that can arise from it. The singer of the song pretends to be invisible in order to avoid facing the object of their desire and is willing to go to extreme measures such as drowning in a swimming pool just to have their attention. They also try to create illusions and myths in order to capture their crush's heart. The lyrics communicate a sense of desperation as the singer tries everything they can to win over their love interest but are met with indifference.
The chorus of the song, "Eu só quero brincar com você" (I just want to play with you), reinforces the notion of playfulness and the desire to engage in a light-hearted relationship with the person they like. It can be interpreted as the singer's desire to have a fun and carefree relationship rather than a serious and committed one.
Overall, the lyrics of Havana express the longing for someone who is unattainable, and the desire to have fun and playful interactions with that person, even if it means going to great lengths to get their attention.

Finjo ser invisível
I pretend to be invisible to avoid having to confront you
Pra não ter que te encarar
So I don't have to look at you
Afogo na piscina
I drown in the pool
Pra você me salvar
So you can save me
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
I stumble on the stairs so you can catch me
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
I create a thousand spells to try to win you over
Eu só quero brincar com você
I just want to play with you
Tenho todos que quero
I have everyone I want
Mas perco o ar quando te vejo
But I lose my breath when I see you
Saio com seus vizinhos
I go out with your neighbors
Só pra você me notar
Just so you can notice me
Não me despreze
Don't reject me
Eu sou pior que você
I am worse than you
Não tenha medo
Don't be afraid
Eu só quero brincar
I just want to play
