De Ontem
Liniker e os Caramelows Lyrics

The song "De Ontem" by Liniker e os Caramelows is a powerful love song that expresses the intensity of the singer's feelings towards their lover. The song describes a moment when the singer was in their lover's apartment building, and how this simple act of opening the elevator door made them feel completely exposed and vulnerable. The lyrics draw a comparison between the singer and an animal, with "eyes of the moon" and an "uncamouflaged iris" that is engraved in the lover's memory. The singer acknowledges that they will hold onto this memory, as it sustains them in moments when they are alone with their thoughts.

The second verse has the singer composing and reciting verses to their lover, likening themselves to a "small and round" belly button, purely focused on creating poetry to express their love for the person. The third verse conveys the idea that the singer is known and familiar to the building's doorman, thus signifying how much time they spend with their lover. They also describe physical reactions they experience when they are close to the lover and the anticipation they feel through their "red signals of peace" that explode from their fingers every time they get closer.

Overall, the song is a declaration of love that captures many of the different emotions felt when falling head over heels for someone. The imagery, metaphors, and emotions expressed can resonate with anyone who has felt an overwhelming love for another person.
