The Real Thing
Kim D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Um amor assim tão vil
É, só sei o que eu fiz pra merecer
Meu brilhante se partiu
E a minha história eu vou contar
Que é pra você não esquecer
Falar o que ninguém pode saber
Corro feito louco pra não ter que me lembrar
Que um diamante é pouco pro que eu quero apagar
Eu corro feito louco pra não ter que me lembrar
Que um diamante é pouco pro que eu quero apagar
The lyrics of "The Real Thing" by Kim D. revolve around a love that is difficult to understand why it happened in the first place. The singer expresses their confusion about how they fell in love with someone who turned out to be so vile. She only knows what she did to deserve it, and that whatever it was, it caused her to shatter like a broken diamond. The singer goes on to tell her story, so that nobody forgets where she came from and where she's going. She speaks of running like a mad person to forget the pain and hurt, and that a diamond is not enough to erase the painful memories.
The song's message can be interpreted in different ways. Some say that the song is about a toxic relationship that the singer can't seem to let go of. Others think that it's about chasing after something unattainable and realizing, later on, that the journey is not worth it. The theme of the song may resonate with many people who have been through a difficult relationship or situation, where they feel like they've lost a part of themselves in the process.

Eu nem sei como isso pode acontecer
I am puzzled as to how this could have happened
Um amor assim tão vil
A love so cheap and tawdry
É, só sei o que eu fiz pra merecer
But I do know what I did to deserve it
Meu brilhante se partiu
My diamond broke
E a minha história eu vou contar
And now I shall tell my tale
Que é pra você não esquecer
So that you won't forget
De onde vim, pra onde vou
Where I came from, and where I am headed
Falar o que ninguém pode saber
To speak what no one should know
Corro feito louco pra não ter que me lembrar
I run like a madman so as not to have to remember
Que um diamante é pouco pro que eu quero apagar
That a diamond is not enough to erase what I want to forget
Eu corro feito louco pra não ter que me lembrar
I run like a madman so as not to have to remember
Que um diamante é pouco pro que eu quero apagar
That a diamond is not enough to erase what I want to forget
