O Tempo Está do Meu Lado
Cachorro Grande Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Um dia você vai olhar prá trás
E vai ver que eu era o bicho
Você não desconfiou
Que pena, Que desperdício

Cercada de idiotas
Você vai ver que eu era o bicho
Algo sobrenatural

Que pena, não chore, Desperdício

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cachorro Grande's song O Tempo Está do Meu Lado talk about a person who was underestimated by their partner or those around them. The person singing talks about how their partner or former partner will one day look back and realize that they were the real deal. The person being talked about was not taken seriously by their partner, who was surrounded by people who the singer refers to as "idiots." The singer refers to themselves as "o bicho," which means "the beast" in Portuguese, implying that they were someone of great significance and perhaps power.

The lyrics also suggest that there was something supernatural or extraordinary about the person who was overlooked by their partner. The singer seems to find it unfortunate that their partner did not notice these qualities, and they suggest that it was a "desperdício" or a waste. The overall message of the song seems to be that one should not judge people based on appearances or first impressions, as there may be more to them than meets the eye.
