Like a Pose
Maria Gadú Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do you walk in the dark
Hoping has love finds a spark

Did you ever lose
Something you refused
Something that you wish came true?

You were never looking
I stood like a rose
How could you have found me
So close

And now you stare at the sun
Blinded so why should I run

Did you ever lose
Something you refused
Something that you wish came true?

Remember you would root for me
Remember I would root for you
It's too late to return, I know.

Did you ever lose
Something you refused
Something that you wish came true?





You were never looking
I stood like a rose

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Maria Gadú's song "Like a Pose" seem to describe a situation where one person was waiting for love while the other person was not looking for love. The question "why do you walk in the dark, hoping has love finds a spark" may suggest that the person the lyrics are addressing is searching for something they cannot see, or that they have limited visibility into their love life. The next verse "Did you ever lose something you refused, something that you wish came true?" may imply that the person the lyrics are addressing has refused love before and is now wishing it came true.


The lines "You were never looking, I stood like a rose, How could you have found me so close" describe the situation where the person seeking love may have been unaware of the advances of the other person, who was standing by like a rose waiting to be noticed. The chorus "Did you ever lose something you refused, something that you wish came true?" is repeated three times, suggesting that it is a significant question that needs to be answered.


The final verse "Remember you would root for me, Remember I would root for you, It's too late to return, I know" may imply that the two people were once close and supported each other, but now it is too late to return to their relationship. Overall, the lyrics of Maria Gadú's "Like a Pose" are about missed opportunities in love, where one person was looking for someone to love but didn't notice the other person who was standing by, waiting for them to realize their love.

Como num romance
O homem dos meus sonhos
Me apareceu no dancing
Era mais um
Só que num relance
Os seus olhos me chuparam
Feito um zoom

Ele me comia
Com aqueles olhos
De comer fotografia
Eu disse cheese
E de close em close
Fui perdendo a pose

E até sorri, feliz

E voltou
Me ofereceu um drinque
Me chamou de anjo azul
Minha visão
Foi desde então ficando flou

Como no cinema
Me mandava às vezes
Uma rosa e um poema
Foco de luz
Eu, feito uma gema
Me desmilinguindo toda
Ao som do blues

Abusou do scotch
Disse que meu corpo
Era só dele aquela noite
Eu disse please
Xale no decote
Disparei com as faces
Rubras e febris

E voltou
No derradeiro show
Com dez poemas e um buquê
Eu disse adeus
Já vou com os meus
Numa turnê

Como amar esposa
Disse ele que agora
Só me amava como esposa
Não como star
Me amassou as rosas
Me queimou as fotos
Me beijou no altar

Nunca mais romance
Nunca mais cinema
Nunca mais drinque no dancing
Nunca mais cheese
Nunca uma espelunca
Uma rosa nunca
Nunca mais feliz
