So, this is the one to save us all...I don't know, maybe I need to hear it more often but I don't think I'm going to like this. Also gonna be interesting to see how this does with casual ESC viewers because it is so out there and not easy to grasp at first sight.

That's my guilty pleasure of the year! Final performance was improved and kudos for sending such a unique entry instead of another dull balad 🙏 PS:That guy has worked in a sex shop and it shows

This sounds really unpleasant imo. Like it's unconventional just for the sake of it.

Came here after the toxic amout of hate in Youtube, thank you guys so much! Who hates this? Well it was mostly because of the 100 dislikes in about 20 minutes but I guess I judge too fast... Anyway, I am going to make a statement later regarding everything especially the lyrics since I saw a lot of comments of people that clearly didn't understand the message of the song and think the lyrics are non-sense and cringe...

I'm not a fan of Telemóveis either, but I'm still questioning that a lot.

Instrumental:
Yes, its different. Different from anything you probably have listened to unless you already knew him and his work. I understand that it’s a lot to take and your ears may not like it but I just feel offended when people take this down because for me this instrumental is kinda the whole background of Portuguese people and even our country history told by music: we have Fado (of course our traditional Portuguese sound), Oriental (from our sea exploration days), Arabic (Portugal’s current territory was occupied by Muslims for five centuries!) and Gipsy (this is probably the one giving the song modern vibes, gypsies are a very influent ethnic group here in Portugal). Again, I respect that you may not like it and that’s okay, I just wanted to clarify that it’s not supposed to be just different sounds from random cultures, they were chosen wisely and meaningfully.
Lyrics:
Here’s the controversial part. This is probably the biggest reason why he is backlashed in Portugal and maybe even in the rest of world. I am going to explain the lyrics so there’s no doubts here (this is going to be very long):
“I broke my cellphone / Trying to call Heaven / to discover if I kill the longing / or I am the one who dies” According to Conan Osíris himself “Its like my phone as the power to call to someone whose no longer between us” “We give so much importance to our phone nowadays, why can’t we have the fantasy of having the possibility to call to someone whose no longer here?”. Basically that’s the whole meaning of the song, of course he’s not actually breaking phones but he’s actually expressing his anger and frustration because he misses someone who passed away.
“And who kills who / Who kills who kills / Who kills who / Nor I know / When I discover, I won’t call anyone anymore”
“What if life calls / If life sends a message / If she doesn’t stop / and you’re not brave enough to answer / You already know what will happen” He didn’t clarify this part of the song but it looks like an unexpected death. In that case he’s not ready to give a response to that death because he doesn’t feel prepared to face the consequences of that person’s passing.
“I am going down my stairs / I am gonna screw the phone / The telele / I am gonna break my phone / Yours and mine / And I am going to screw the phone / I wanna live and escangalhar the phone” telele – funny Portuguese noun for phone; escangalhar – funny way to say break or screw in Portuguese
“What if I break my phone / I only break what’s mine / I wanna see if the longing dies / Maybe, who dies is me” Here he is basically saying that he’s tired of the longing and he wants it to stop because it may kill him.
“And who kills who kills / Nor I know / The chibaria never saw anyone born” chibaria – Portuguese slang to accusing.
“I used to break phones / But I no longer break mine / I know the longing is dead / The arrow was sent by me” I am going to leave it to your imagination what do you think this means, it may mean that he surpassed the pain of the longing, it may mean that he killed himself to stop the pain or maybe even something else…
I hope you like my explanation, any more questions feel free to ask!
