Amor Electro throw us into a thrilling whirlwind of self-doubt, desire and head-spinning love. The narrator keeps bouncing between opposites – doing and not doing, wanting and then refusing, feeling imprisoned by both having and not having. In the middle of this seesaw stands a breathtaking muse, described as “lethal magic” and a “pure, rare anomaly”, the one person who breaks all logic while making life worth the mess.
The chorus warns that if you try to pin down every why and how – Respirar o que hei-de ser ou não ser… – it’s bound to “give confusion”. Over-analysing feelings, obsessing over emotional intelligence and chasing scientific explanations for the heart’s chaos can leave you more lost than enlightened. The song’s playful message: embrace the contradictions, listen to both the A-side and the elusive B-side of life, and let the beautiful insanity of love keep you breathing and questioning all at once.
