Viés
Vivendo do Ócio Lyrics

The song "Viés" by Vivendo do Ócio is a declaration of love full of nuances and hidden meanings. The lyrics talk about the singer's attempts to get closer to someone they love, but without revealing their true feelings directly. The opening lines "Parece, mas não é / Eu tento disfarçar" ("It seems, but it's not / And I try to disguise it") set the tone of ambiguity and hesitation that permeates the whole song. The singer seems to be struggling with their own vulnerability and fear of rejection, as they try to "suprir, injetar nas minha veias o teu mel / Fazer minha cabeça" ("supplement, inject your honey into my veins / And mess with my head").

The chorus, with its repetition of imperative verbs ("Pare, pense, sinta, veja, olhe, observe" - "Stop, think, feel, see, look, observe") and the use of second-person pronouns ("Eu quero ver se você percebe" - "I want to see if you notice"), conveys a sense of urgency and desperation. The singer wants to be noticed and understood, but at the same time, they don't want to reveal too much and risk being rejected or misunderstood. The lines "E te falo o que penso sem precisar explicar" ("And I tell you what I think without needing to explain") reveal a paradoxical desire to communicate without being fully transparent.

The second half of the song introduces the idea of the loved one as a "vilã" ("villain") and a "vício vital" ("vital addiction"). This suggests a complex and possibly unhealthy relationship dynamic, where the singer is drawn to someone who may not be good for them. The lines "É um amor libertino / Pura atração daquelas" ("It's a libertine love / Pure attraction of those") evoke a sense of danger and illicitness, as if the singer is aware of the risks but can't help but be attracted to the "villain". Overall, "Viés" is a song about the complexity of love and the challenges of expressing feelings honestly and openly.
