Espelho
Jorge e Mateus/Jorge & Mateus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As conversas tão vazias
As explicações são vagas
Só eu sei como queria
Falar do meu amor
Abertamente sim ir até o fim
Só eu conheço a dor
De não acreditar que mereço ser feliz
Como num espelho te olhando vejo
O meu próprio medo minha indecisão
Mesmo te amando não estou seguro
Será que é verdade ou uma ilusão
Seria tão bom só eu e você
Mas te faço sofrer e é sem querer
Eu fujo da dor
Eu tenho pavor da solidão
Me perdoa coração
Como num espelho te olhando vejo
O meu próprio medo minha indecisão
Mesmo te amando não estou seguro
Será que é verdade ou uma ilusão
In Jorge e Mateus's song Espelho, the singer is struggling with his own insecurities and doubts in his relationship. He acknowledges that he has trouble expressing his love openly and honestly, and often relies on vague explanations and empty conversations. Despite loving his partner deeply, he is still plagued by fear and uncertainty, which he sees reflected back at him like a mirror (hence the title, Espelho, which translates to "mirror" in English). He questions whether his feelings for his partner are real or just an illusion of his own making.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses remorse for unintentionally causing his partner pain due to his avoidance of emotional pain and fear of loneliness. He wishes for a future where they can be together without suffering, but is unsure if that reality is even possible. In the end, he asks for forgiveness from his heart, acknowledging the pain he has caused.
The lyrics of Espelho beautifully capture the complexities and struggles that come with relationships, and showcase the vulnerability of the singer's emotions. The use of the mirror metaphor is particularly poignant, as it emphasizes the ways in which our own doubts and fears can distort our perception of reality and love.
