Você Se Parece Com Todo Mundo
Barão Vermelho Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Relógios e flores
Todo o tipo de presentes
Eu te dei todas as coisas
Mas te perdi

Você se parece com todo mundo
Eu investi demais
Sem pôr no seguro

Você empresta e cobra
Mais tarde com juros
Você chora e fede
Como todo mundo

Você mente e esconde
No teu cofre escuro
Mas vacila e entrega
Um mistério sujo

Você se parece com todo mundo
É, eu te amei demais
Eu sofri pra burro

Beijinhos e tapas
Todo o tipo de carinhos
Eu te mostrei vários amores
Mas eu te perdi

Ameaças, trapaças
Todo o tipo de chantagem
Eu usei todos os truques
Mas me esqueci

Que todo mundo ama
Exagera tudo
Mas depois disfarça
Foge pelos fundos

Você se parece com todo mundo
Eu sonhei demais

Eu fiquei maluco
Eu fiquei maluco por você

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Barão Vermelho's song "Você Se Parece Com Todo Mundo" (You Look Like Everyone Else) talk about a failed relationship where the singer gave everything to his partner but still ended up losing her. He gave her watches, flowers, and all kinds of presents, but he invested too much without taking precautions. She borrowed and charged him back later, cried and smelled bad like everyone else, and lied and hid things in her dark safe but delivered a dirty mystery. He loved her too much that he suffered immensely but still lost her in the end. He showed her different types of love, but still couldn't keep her by his side. He resorted to threats, deceit, and blackmail, but he forgot that everyone loves and exaggerates things but later hides and runs away.

The song is a commentary on how love can make us give everything and forget to protect ourselves from potential heartbreak. The singer gave her everything without taking precautions and ended up losing her. Despite his efforts, he couldn't keep her by his side. The lyrics also talk about how everyone has flaws and secrets they hide, but eventually, they'll come out in the open. The line, "Você se parece com todo mundo" (You look like everyone else) is suggestive of how people often have common traits, and no one is perfect in a relationship.
