Nosferatu
Leoni Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
São Paulo pela janela
Me parece tão distante
Nessa semana de romance
Passo dias no seu quarto
Sem roupa nos seus braços
Sentado no chão do box
Morro de tédio e tristeza
Quando você vai pro trabalho
E eu fico em casa deitado
Solidão de Nosferatu
Eu quero ter seu sangue
Nos dias mais impróprios
O seu cheiro e um beijo morno
Na hora em que eu abro os olhos
Tiro férias do universo
Vivendo às suas custas
Realizo os seus desejos
Seu gigolo sem culpas
Vem se esquenta em mim
Vem se encosta em mim
Nenhum outro lugar
Pode ser melhor que aqui
Pra te proteger
Pra te ameaçar
Nenhum outro lugar
Pode ser melhor que aqui
The lyrics to Leoni's song Nosferatu describe a twisted and obsessive love that the singer has for their partner. The first stanza talks about the physical surroundings of their partner's home in São Paulo, which seems distant to the singer during a week of romance. The second stanza describes how the singer spends their days in their partner's bedroom, without clothes and devouring them underwater in the shower. However, the singer becomes bored and sad when their partner goes to work, and they're left alone in the house, feeling like the lonely vampire Nosferatu.
The third stanza is particularly disturbing, as the singer declares that they want to have their partner's blood on the most inappropriate days, along with their scent and a warm kiss when they wake up. The fourth stanza talks about how the singer takes a break from the universe and lives on their partner's expenses, fulfilling their desires as a guilt-free gigolo. The last stanza expresses the singer's desire to protect and threaten their partner, claiming that no other place can be better than where they are.
Overall, the song portrays a toxic and unhealthy love that is both obsessive and possessive. The singer's reference to Nosferatu reinforces this emotional state, as the vampire is known for its isolated and monstrous behavior, unable to blend in with society and thrive off the blood of others. The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to do anything to maintain this relationship, even if it means hurting their partner in the end.
