Every Breath You Take
Emmerson Nogueira Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
Ill be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Ill be watching you

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you

Since youve gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but its you I cant replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please...

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every breath you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you

Every move you make
Every step you take
Ill be watching you

Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you




Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you...

Overall Meaning

The song "Every Breath You Take" by Emmerson Nogueira is a powerful and haunting ballad that speaks to the obsessive nature of love. The lyrics express the idea that the singer is watching their beloved's every move, breath, and step, and this watchfulness gives them a sense of ownership over the object of their desire. The repetition of the phrase "I'll be watching you" emphasizes this sense of surveillance, and gives the song an almost stalker-like quality.


The lyrics also reveal the deep pain that the singer feels when the object of their affection is not with them. They describe feeling lost and cold, unable to replace the person who has left them. The phrase "Every breath you take, every move you make, I'll be watching you" takes on a different meaning in the second half of the song, revealing the desperation of the singer's longing for their lost love.


Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the intoxicating and dangerous aspects of love, particularly when it becomes too obsessive and all-consuming.

Simplesmente sem defeitos..Sete lagoas mg sente falta.

@niltonbarros2441

Enquanto tivermos musicos assim, a vida seguira sem problemas....Melodia, letras e arranjos fantasticos....parabens

@viniciusrabelocampos5356

Nilton Barros é muito fácil fazer arranjos em cima de sucessos consagrados. Não há mérito algum nisso meu caro.

@jesusalexgamboa3160

@Vinícius Rabelo Campos com todo respeito já vi muito arranjo em cima de sucesso consagrado ficar uma bosta e geralmente fica. Sou músico e quem me dera um dia chegar ao nível deste cara chamado Emerson Nogueira.

@israelcampos440
