Cebolas
Supercombo Lyrics

In "Cebolas," Supercombo brings a touching and introspective ballad about the frustration of being emotionally numb. The singer seems to have been hardened by past experiences that left him feeling like a stone, unable to feel the emotions he desires. In his mind, he knows he can't force his heart to feel, but still longs for the vulnerability of tears. He acknowledges the unfairness of expecting too much from a relationship that offers no guarantees and hides his true feelings from everyone, including himself. He begs for boredom, oddly enough, to prove that he is still alive, even though he comes across as uninterested or dull to others. The song ends with him offering everything back to the person he was potentially in a relationship with because he recognizes that he has nothing left to give.

"Cebolas" originated from Supercombo's 2017 album "Adeus, Aurora," produced in their native Brazil. The melancholic song contrasts with the remaining energetic and danceable tracks from the record. Some possible interpretations of "Cebolas" could be linked to depression, artistic block, or the aftermath of a breakup. Besides the poignant lyrics, the song features a slow-paced melody and somber piano chords that intensify the song's mournful atmosphere.
