Boneca
Banda UÓ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O que me resta é aceitar
Mas sempre que olha assim pra mim
Você me enche até eu dizer que sim
E sufoca, me aperta tanto até perder meu ar
Te usei de uma forma errada
Brinquei com tudo além do seu coração
E agora, eu sei, meu bem
Que essa boneca me fez um grande refém
Desistir desse amor assim (assim)
Pode ser pra sempre aquilo que tem fim
Eu sou escrava do seu amor
O que me resta é aceitar
Sabe sempre que é fácil me ter
Fico tão vazia sem você
Seu segredo fica só comigo
E pra sempre será
Te usei de uma forma errada
Brinquei com tudo além do seu coração
E agora eu sei meu bem
Que essa boneca me fez um grande refém
Desistir desse amor, assim (assim)
Pode ser pra sempre aquilo que tem fim
Sua língua é a estrela que faltava
No céu da minha boca
Nada é mais inflável
Que a paixão barata, senha sem razão (meu bem)
Que essa boneca me fez um grande refém
Desistir desse amor, assim (assim)
Pode ser pra sempre aquilo que tem fim
E agora eu sei meu bem
Que essa boneca me fez um grande refém
Desistir desse amor, assim (assim)
Pode ser pra sempre aquilo que tem fim
The lyrics of Banda UÓ's song "Boneca" speak to the concept of being a slave to someone's love and the consequences that come with playing with someone's feelings. The singer admits to being a slave to their partner's love and feeling suffocated by the intensity of their affection. The partner's gaze and actions make the singer feel overwhelmed and unable to resist their advances, even when it becomes stifling and suffocating.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of using someone in the wrong way and toying with their emotions beyond just their heart. The singer reflects on their actions, realizing that they have mistreated their partner and now feel trapped by the consequences of their behavior. The metaphor of being a "boneca" (doll) in this dynamic signifies feeling controlled and manipulated by the other person's love.
The mention of feeling empty without the partner highlights the dependence and deep connection the singer has with them. The secrecy and intimacy shared between the two emphasize the complexity of their relationship, with the singer acknowledging that some aspects will remain solely between them, creating a sense of closeness and exclusivity.
The imagery of the partner's tongue being the missing star in the singer's mouth adds a sensual and intimate layer to the lyrics. The comparison of passion to something inflatable and without reason suggests a temporary and unsustainable nature to their relationship. The repetition of the idea that giving up on this love could mean it's truly over for good emphasizes the finality and potential consequences of their actions and decisions.
Overall, "Boneca" delves into themes of love, dependency, manipulation, and consequences, painting a vivid picture of a tumultuous and intense relationship where both parties are grappling with their emotions and the complexities of their connection.

Eu sou escrava do seu amor
I am a slave to your love
O que me resta é aceitar
What is left for me is to accept
Mas sempre que olha assim pra mim
But whenever you look at me like that
Você me enche até eu dizer que sim
You fill me up until I say yes
E sufoca, me aperta tanto até perder meu ar
And suffocate, squeeze me so tight until I can't breathe
Te usei de uma forma errada
I used you in the wrong way
Brinquei com tudo além do seu coração
I played with everything beyond your heart
E agora, eu sei, meu bem
And now, I know, my dear
Que essa boneca me fez um grande refém
That this doll made me a great hostage
Desistir desse amor assim (assim)
Giving up on this love like this (like this)
Pode ser pra sempre aquilo que tem fim
It can be forever what has an end
Sabe sempre que é fácil me ter
You know it's always easy to have me
Fico tão vazia sem você
I feel so empty without you
Seu segredo fica só comigo
Your secret remains only with me
E pra sempre será
And it will be forever
Sua língua é a estrela que faltava
Your tongue is the missing star
No céu da minha boca
In the sky of my mouth
Nada é mais inflável
Nothing is more inflatable
Que a paixão barata, senha sem razão (meu bem)
Than the cheap passion, senseless password (my dear)
