As Mesmas Histórias
Edu Lobo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Volto de novo sabendo o quanto errei
Volto contando as histórias
As mesmas histórias
E no entanto eu nem lembro
Daquelas promessas que eu fiz
Só eu sei
Tanta tristeza nas noites onde andei
Que eu sempre sonhei
E então aprendi
Que a beleza que existe é você
Você sorrindo
Só me faz acreditar
Que só é triste
Quem não tem por quem chorar
Que só é triste
Quem não tem por quem chorar
The lyrics of Edu Lobo's "As Mesmas Histórias" describe a person who recognizes their mistakes and regrets, but still decides to return and tell the same stories. Despite not remembering the promises they made in the past, the person feels a great deal of sadness and longing for the dreams they once had. However, they have learned that the true beauty that exists in their life is the person they love, the one who makes them believe that it's only truly sad for those who have no one to cry for.
This song seems to be about acknowledging past mistakes, accepting the pain that comes with them, and moving forward with a renewed perspective. Sometimes, people are so focused on the bad experiences and promises they have broken that they forget to recognize the meaningful moments they have shared with loved ones. The lyrics of "As Mesmas Histórias" serve as a reminder that despite the hardships, true happiness can be found in the simple moments of life, the smiles of the people we love and the ability to recognize our mistakes and learn from them.
