Só Deus
Maysa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Só Deus, que está no céu
Sabe dizer da minha angústia
Das horas que passei
Do desespero sem você
Foi bom nada lhe contarem
Bem bom não acreditarem
Pois Deus, que ouve os meu ás, também achou demais
Eu sei que até você há de pensar que isto é mentira
Que eu pouco me importei
Que eu sempre falo por falar
Eu mesma tenho horror de mim
Vergonha de chorar assim
Mas Deus, que me escutou, quase chorou

Eu sei que até você há de pensar que isto é mentira
Que eu pouco me importei
Que eu sempre falo por falar
Eu mesma tenho horror de mim




Vergonha de chorar assim
Mas Deus, que me escutou, quase chorou.

Overall Meaning

Maysa's song "Só Deus" speaks about a person struggling with inner turmoil and pain caused by the absence of a loved one. The lyrics express the feeling of desperation and helplessness when dealing with emotions that seem to be impossible to control. The song talks about the need to convey these feelings to someone, but the fear and shame of being judged make it impossible to do so. The singer of the lyrics admits to feeling embarrassed for crying openly about their pain and having a fear of being judged by their loved one. However, despite this, the song suggests that God is the only one who truly understands the pain and sadness that they feel.


The line "Eu mesmo tenho horror de mim" (I myself am disgusted by myself) reveals the deep self-judgment and self-loathing that is often present in people struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and addiction. The song highlights the importance of seeking help and finding someone to confide in, even if it means facing the fear of being judged.


Overall, "Só Deus" is a beautifully emotional and introspective song that accurately portrays the complex feelings that come with emotional struggle.
