Leia Meus Lábios
Lulu Santos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caio da real
Os sonhos não são em vão
Não vou me entregar
Ès contradiçy'es
De um paâs perdido
Fico com as ilusy'es
Sem me torturar
Ligam más televisy'es
Flashes do futuro
Propaganda e mito
Mundo de solidão
Leia meus lábios
Não vou insultar
O que não queira me amar
Então leia meus lábios
Se não me encontrar
Nada que eu disse vale mais
Não vale mais
Não vale mais
In Lulu Santos's song Leia Meus Lábios, the lyrics talk about the disappointment felt by the singer when reading lies in the newspaper that make him "fall to reality." However, he refuses to give up on his dreams and remains hopeful, despite the contradictions of a lost country. He chooses to hold onto his illusions rather than torturing himself. The singer then talks about the negative impact of bad television and propaganda on society, creating a world of loneliness.
The chorus of the song urges the listener to read the singer's lips, as he refuses to insult those who do not want to love him. Therefore, if the listener cannot find him or if they do not value what he says, then nothing he has said will hold any more value. The overall message of the song seems to be about choosing hope and holding onto illusions, rather than getting lost in the negativity of reality.
