The song "Not Allowed" by TV Girl, translated into Portuguese by Genius Portugal Traduções, explores themes of desire, sexual frustration, and unrequited love. The lyrics depict the speaker's feelings of longing and obsession towards someone they are unable to be intimate with.
The song starts with a confrontational tone, with the lyric "Agora você é um merda!" (Now you're shit!). It suggests a sense of frustration and disappointment towards the person the speaker is addressing. The following line, "Queremos falar sobre sexo, mas não temos permissão" (We want to talk about sex, but we are not allowed), implies that there are barriers preventing a sexual relationship or conversation from occurring.
The subsequent lines delve into the speaker's infatuation and jealousy. They mention the person's past romantic partner, questioning whether that person brought them pleasure and satisfaction. The speaker explores their own fantasies and desires, expressed through the line "Eu tenho um interativo, imaginação doentia e distorcida" (I have an interactive, sick, and twisted imagination). This suggests that the speaker may have vivid and unconventional fantasies about the person they are longing for.
The chorus repeats the lines about wanting to talk about sex but not being allowed to, further emphasizing the frustrations and restrictions in their relationship. The inclusion of the line "Coloque seu rosto entre minhas coxas!" (Put your face between my thighs!) adds a provocative and explicit element, underscoring the speaker's desire for sexual intimacy.
The second verse continues to explore the speaker's fantasies and desires. They describe dreaming about being close to the person, licking the sweat off their forehead and the sound of leather jackets hitting the floor. These descriptions convey a sense of sensuality and intimacy that the speaker yearns for.
The lyrics touch on the speaker's efforts to express themselves creatively through writing. They mention writing sonnets specifically for the person they desire, but these efforts eventually go sour. This could symbolize the speaker's frustrations and disappointment in their attempts to win over the person's affections.
The song concludes with the line "Espero que ainda sejamos amigos, sim, espero que você não se importe" (I hope we can still be friends, yes, I hope you don't mind). This final line suggests that despite the unrequited love and sexual frustrations, the speaker still wishes to maintain a connection with the person, albeit in a platonic way.
Overall, "Not Allowed" explores themes of desire, longing, and the complexities of unrequited love. It delves into the limitations and frustrations of pursuing a sexual relationship while expressing the speaker's yearning for intimacy and their struggles with their own fantasies and obsession.
