Manu Gavassi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Faz tempo que eu decidi viver a minha idade
Saio atrasada sentindo um vazio
E a sensação é que eu nem moro mais aqui
Falta de casa, mas medo de ficar
E perder o mundo acontecendo sem parar
Mente cheia de sonhos e o meu corpo a mil
E faz tempo que eu quero te falar que aquela noite eu chorei
Mas não foi nada com você
Na verdade, eu chorei porque falei que ia embora
E você nem teve medo de perder
E faz tempo que eu percebo que o que o universo manda
É só pra rir e te fazer crescer
E que piada engraçada do universo me mostrar
Que dentre tantos aprendi com você
Se a minha intensidade ainda for me matar, ah, ah
Se a minha intensidade ainda for me matar
Eu prefiro ser poesia e ter histórias pra contar
Estudo meus princípios, minhas convicções
Prometo me abrir só pra quem merecer canções
Mas aqui estou me traindo com você
Amanhã faço de novo prometendo não fazer
Então, só por essa noite a minha pele é sua
E o conflito de certo e errado continua
Talvez eu pense muito
Talvez seja você
Com o medo que a nossa geração tem de crescer
Se a minha intensidade ainda for me matar, ah, ah
Se a minha intensidade ainda for me matar
Eu prefiro ser poesia e ter historias pra contar
(Se a minha intensidade ainda for me matar, ah, ah
Se a minha intensidade ainda for me matar)
Eu prefiro ser poesia e ter histórias pra contar
Se a minha intensidade ainda for me matar, ah, ah
Se a minha intensidade ainda for me matar
(Eu prefiro ser poesia e ter historias pra contar)
Se a minha intensidade ainda for me matar, ah, ah
Se a minha intensidade ainda for me matar
Eu prefiro ser poesia e ter historias pra contar
The lyrics of Manu Gavassi's "música secreta" talk about the conflicts between wanting to live life to its fullest and being afraid to grow up too fast. The song starts with the line "Acordo um pouco tonta, sentindo a liberdade" (I wake up a little dizzy, feeling free), conveying a sense of confusion mingling with a newfound sense of liberation. The singer feels out of place in her own life, caught between the desire to live adventurously and the fear of missing out on the world around her.
The line "Coração fechado, quem se aproximou sentiu" (Closed heart, those who approached felt it) shows how the singer has been guarded and unwilling to let others in. She feels the weight of the expectations placed upon her, and struggles with the desire to be true to herself and the pressure to conform to societal norms. The chorus of the song repeats the line "Se a minha intensidade ainda for me matar" (If my intensity is going to kill me), highlighting the inner turmoil of the singer, who sees her own passion and drive as both a blessing and a curse.
The bridge of the song acknowledges that the singer has been lying to herself, promising to keep her guard up while secretly letting someone in. She acknowledges her own weaknesses and vulnerabilities, expressing a desire to be vulnerable and honest, but feeling uncertain about how to navigate her own emotions. The song's final lines express a desire to live life like poetry, with all of its ups and downs, rather than a safe, predictable existence.

Acordo um pouco tonta, sentindo a liberdade
I wake up feeling a bit dizzy, but I feel free
Faz tempo que eu decidi viver a minha idade
It's been a while since I decided to live my own age
Saio atrasada sentindo um vazio
I leave late and I feel empty
E a sensação é que eu nem moro mais aqui
And the feeling is that I don't even live here anymore
Falta de casa, mas medo de ficar
I lack a home, but I'm afraid to stay
E perder o mundo acontecendo sem parar
And to miss out on the world that keeps evolving
Mente cheia de sonhos e o meu corpo a mil
My mind is full of dreams and my body is restless
Coração fechado, quem se aproximou sentiu
My heart is closed and those who tried to get close felt it
E faz tempo que eu quero te falar que aquela noite eu chorei
And I've been wanting to tell you for a while that I cried that night
Mas não foi nada com você
But it had nothing to do with you
Na verdade, eu chorei porque falei que ia embora
In reality, I cried because I said I was leaving
E você nem teve medo de perder
And you didn't even seem afraid of losing me
E faz tempo que eu percebo que o que o universo manda
And I've realized for a while that what the universe sends
É só pra rir e te fazer crescer
Is just to make you laugh and to make you grow
E que piada engraçada do universo me mostrar
And what a funny joke of the universe to show me
Que dentre tantos aprendi com você
That I learned so much from you amongst so many others
Se a minha intensidade ainda for me matar, ah, ah
If my intensity is still going to kill me, ah, ah
Eu prefiro ser poesia e ter histórias pra contar
I'd rather be poetry and have stories to tell
Estudo meus princípios, minhas convicções
I study my principles, my convictions
Prometo me abrir só pra quem merecer canções
And I promise to open up only to those who are worthy of my songs
Mas aqui estou me traindo com você
But here I am, betraying myself with you
Amanhã faço de novo prometendo não fazer
Tomorrow, I'll make the same promise not to do it again
Então, só por essa noite a minha pele é sua
So just for tonight, my skin is yours
E o conflito de certo e errado continua
And the conflict of right and wrong persists
Talvez eu pense muito
Maybe I overthink things too much
Talvez seja você
Maybe it's you
Com o medo que a nossa geração tem de crescer
With the fear our generation has of growing up
(Se a minha intensidade ainda for me matar, ah, ah
(If my intensity is still going to kill me, ah, ah
Se a minha intensidade ainda for me matar)
If my intensity is still going to kill me)
Eu prefiro ser poesia e ter histórias pra contar
I'd rather be poetry and have stories to tell
