Esteban Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se o coração não conseguisse trabalhar
Esqueceria tudo do começo
E viveria toda a vida sem pensar
Não tomaria tantos comprimidos
Apagaria o que me dessem pra fumar
Talvez tudo fizesse algum sentido
Apaga do teu coração
As marcas de um tempo atrás
E saiba que eu não sei viver
Com o estrago que o tempo faz
Eu tento me esconder em ar aberto
E ter por perto quem me abraça sem cobrar
Os comprimidos não me compreendem
E não esqueço o que paguei para apagar
Queria estar no teu lugar agora
Só pra entender como é estar no meu lugar
Queria estar no teu lugar agora
Só pra entender como é me ver de fora
Me diga que não quer sair
Que tem a chave para entrar
Que resolveu a equação
E sabe como me tirar
Do fundo
Que sabe como me salvar
Do mundo
Teria paz se não tivesse sangue
Se o coração não conseguisse trabalhar
The lyrics of Esteban's song Janeiro reflect a sense of turmoil and struggle within the singer's inner self. He contemplates the possibility of finding peace if his heart didn't have to work and there wasn't any bloodshed. He wishes he could forget everything and live his life without thinking about things too much. He mentions his dependence on drugs and how he would rather not take so many pills or smoke so much. There's a sense of disillusionment with the world around him, where nothing seems to make sense, and the only solution is to erase everything. The singer seeks comfort in the presence of loved ones who embrace him without any expectations.
The song's chorus talks about wanting to erase the scars from the past and not being able to live with the damage that time has caused. The lyrics also suggest a sense of envy towards someone who seems to have figured everything out and found a way to save themselves from the chaos of the world. The song portrays a deep yearning for understanding and a desire to find a way out of the darkness.
