Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Desconstrução by Tiago Iorc from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

When they saw each other for the first time

On the dark screen of their cell phone

They exited the scene to be able to enter

And ease their shyness

They wore an ego that didn't satisfy

Dramatized the evil of routine

As if it were a divine gift

They just wanted a little attention

But found their own loneliness

They were just a girl

Opening their eyes didn't satisfy them

They entered the darkness of their cell phone

They ran to the mirror to put on makeup

Painted their paleness with pain

And trusted their first time

In the footsteps of a father they didn't see

Didn't even understand their own mother

In the pastime of vain pleasures

They saw all grace slip through their hands

And returned home so empty

Dawn broke as soon as it dissolved

It opened up in the eyes of a cell phone

Eased the screen upon entering

Took away all shyness from the scene

Fed the networks of nudity

Fantasized the pride of routine

Made their skin their fate

Shattered into virtual shards

In appearances, everyone so alike

Singularities in ruin

Entered the darkness of their paleness

Shattered their cell phone body

Exited the scene to ease themselves

Wore the drama one last time

Dissolved in their liquidity

Went viral in the heat of ruin

They were just a girl

No one noticed their depression

Followed the crowd to slide their hand

To ensure a like

SONG MEANING

Tiago Iorc’s “Desconstrução” is a modern fable about a girl who trades her real-world shyness for the instant glow of a smartphone screen. Each verse shows her slipping a little deeper into an online persona: she masks insecurity with selfies, recasts boredom as drama, and feeds social media with curated fragments of her life. What begins as a quest for a few likes quickly morphs into a spiraling search for belonging, leaving her face-to-face with the very loneliness she hoped to escape.

Across the song’s repeated cycles, the imagery grows darker: makeup turns to a coat of pain, virtual “cacos” replace genuine connections, and her unique spark gets lost in a sea of identical scrolls. Iorc’s storytelling warns that behind every flawless photo may hide unspoken depression, disconnected families, and fragile identities. “Desconstrução” is both a celebration of melodic pop and a cautionary tale about the price we pay when we let screens rewrite who we are.
