Hotel
Sabonetes Lyrics

The lyrics of Sabonetes's song "Hotel" evoke a sense of nostalgia and reflection. The first verse describes a scene of clothes on a clothesline and a summer rain, and the following line suggests that those simple moments are guiding the singer's direction in life. The chorus talks about hotel rooms, someone who got lost, and the singer's hesitation to answer questions about what they did or what they wanted because of overthinking. The repetition of "e eu minto" ("and I lie") and "e eu sinto" ("and I feel") at the end of the chorus, as well as the repetition of the last line "e eu sigo" ("and I keep going") at the end of the song, creates a sense of unresolved internal conflict.

The imagery of the clothesline and summer rain suggest a simple life and a connection to nature. However, the mention of hotel rooms and someone who got lost hint at a more complex and possibly painful reality. The reluctance to answer questions about actions and desires because of overthinking implies a fear or discomfort with vulnerability and a desire to maintain a façade. The repeated admission of lying and feeling suggests that the singer is struggling with authenticity and may be suppressing their true feelings.
