Manu Gavassi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O nosso beijo ser melhor agora
Só me ajuda
E não me peça pra não ir embora
Você diz que igual a nós não tem
E me assusta
Me assusta
E você usa a nossa história
E deita do meu lado
E me diz que igual a mim não tem
E me assusta
Pra onde a gente vai daqui
Não sei, nem sei se quero ir
Você em olha como um recomeço
E eu te beijo e sinto nosso fim
Como pode o tempo ter passado
E tudo está perfeitamente igual
Você conhece cada canto meu
E nosso amor seria tão real
Se eu fosse a mesma de anos atrás
Se eu fosse a mesma de anos atrás
(Eu poderia até fingir)
Mas você sabe que eu não sou
E te assusta
Te assusta minha liberdade
E se culpa
Porque era linda nossa pouca idade
E me diz que igual nunca viveu
E te assusta
Pra onde a gente vai daqui
Não sei se tem pra onde ir
Você me diz que ninguém te conhece
Como um dia eu te conheci
Como pode o tempo ter passado
E nos dois de novo vendo o mar
Você me diz que agora faz sentido
Eu poderia até considerar
Se eu fosse a mesma de anos atrás
Se eu fosse a mesma de anos atrás
(Eu poderia até fingir)
Mas você sabe que eu não sou
E me assusta
Eu te olhar assim do mesmo jeito
E te assusta
Saber que o nosso foi seu melhor beijo
E pra sempre, igual não tem
E te assusta
Me assusta
Eu te olhar assim do mesmo jeito
Te assusta
Saber que o nosso foi seu melhor beijo
E pra sempre, igual não tem
E te assusta
"Te Assusta" is a song by Brazilian singer Manu Gavassi, released in 2019. The song talks about the fear of returning to a past relationship and how the passage of time changes everything. Manu expresses her hesitation about getting back together with an ex, and that it scares her how much they've both changed. The opening lines, "it scares me, our kiss being better now", show that although some things are still the same, a lot has changed. She feels torn between wanting to start over and not wanting to repeat the past.
The chorus "where do we go from here, I don't know if I want to go" highlights her indecisiveness towards the relationship. She also talks about her ex holding onto their history, and how it feels like a burden. Her ex makes her feel guilty about not being the same person she was years ago. She mentions that their love could have been real if she were the same person she was back then, but she isn't. The repetition of the lines, "if I were the same person from years ago, I could pretend", shows that she's aware of what she could do to fix their relationship, but it's not possible.
Overall, "Te Assusta" expresses the fear of returning to a past relationship and how much things can change with time. The lyrics are emotive and relatable to anyone who's struggled to move forward with an ex.

Me assusta
I'm scared
O nosso beijo ser melhor agora
Our kiss being better now scares me
Só me ajuda
Just help me
E não me peça pra não ir embora
And don't ask me not to leave
Você diz que igual a nós não tem
You say there's no one like us
E me assusta
And that scares me
Era mais fácil quando era passado
It was easier when it was in the past
E você usa a nossa história
And you use our history
E deita do meu lado
And lay down next to me
E me diz que igual a mim não tem
And tell me there's no one like me
Pra onde a gente vai daqui
Where are we going from here
Não sei, nem sei se quero ir
I don't know, I don't even know if I want to go
Você me olha como um recomeço
You look at me like a new beginning
E eu te beijo e sinto nosso fim
And I kiss you and feel our end
Como pode o tempo ter passado
How could time have passed
E tudo está perfeitamente igual
And everything is perfectly the same
Você conhece cada canto meu
You know every corner of me
E nosso amor seria tão real
And our love would be so real
Se eu fosse a mesma de anos atrás
If I were the same as years ago
(Eu poderia até fingir)
(I could even pretend)
Mas você sabe que eu não sou
But you know that I'm not
Te assusta minha liberdade
My freedom scares you
E se culpa
And you blame yourself
Porque era linda nossa pouca idade
Because our young age was beautiful
E me diz que igual nunca viveu
And tell me you've never experienced anything like it
Pra onde a gente vai daqui
Where are we going from here
Não sei se tem pra onde ir
I don't know if there's anywhere to go
Você me diz que ninguém te conhece
You tell me nobody knows you like I did
Como um dia eu te conheci
Like the day I met you
E nos dois de novo vendo o mar
And both of us seeing the sea again
Você me diz que agora faz sentido
You tell me it makes sense now
Eu poderia até considerar
I could even consider
Me assusta
It scares me
Eu te olhar assim do mesmo jeito
To look at you the same way scares me
Saber que o nosso foi seu melhor beijo
To know that ours was your best kiss scares me
E pra sempre, igual não tem
And forever, there's no comparison
E te assusta
And that scares you
