Linda Martini's sound is characterized by the use of distorted guitars and feedback but also melodic passages and short, emotional lyrics.

Linda Martini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fingir que presto
Para te levar
Se eu não ficar
Foi o tempo
Que não nos disse quando parar
Eu vou queimar tudo o resto
Para te levar
Se eu não ficar
Foi o tempo
The lyrics to Linda Martini's song Elevador seem to be an emotional monologue from a person trying to convince themselves to do something for somebody else. The repetition of the lines "Eu vou queimar tudo o resto, Fingir que presto, Para te levar" suggests a mindset where the singer is ready to burn everything else down and pretend to be useful just to take this other person with them. The line "Se eu não ficar, Foi o tempo que não nos disse quando parar" refers to the uncertainty of whether the singer will actually stay with the other person or not, and how time has failed to give them a clear answer on what to do. The last line seems to have a sense of resignation to it, as if the singer has finally accepted that they don't have control over the situation and they'll just have to let things be.
Overall, the lyrics evoke a strong feeling of desperation and the struggle to make a decision, especially one that puts somebody else before oneself. The repetition of the lines and the use of simple language give the lyrics a sense of urgency, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves to act fast before it's too late.
