Á Distância
Menores Atos Lyrics

The song "À distância" by Menores Atos delves into the complicated emotions and memories that can resurface after a relationship ends. The lyrics describe the singer's decision to focus on the good times they shared with their former partner, but the memories are tainted by the knowledge that the relationship ultimately failed. The lines "Entre um gole e outro, o que sobrou / Foi a lembrança conturbada de algo que acabou" convey the idea that the singer is struggling to come to terms with the end of the relationship, and this struggle is exacerbated by alcohol.

The chorus of the song includes the lines "Me culpe / Por todo o bem que eu fiz / E siga apontando o seu nariz pro alto / Pro nada / Pr'onde bem entender." Here, the singer acknowledges that they feel guilty for the good things they did for their partner and that their former partner continues to judge them even after the relationship is over. The repetition of "pr'onde bem entender" suggests that the former partner's judgment is irrational and arbitrary.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is no longer trying to pretend that everything is okay. They acknowledge their own flaws and are honest about the pain they are feeling. The final lines of the song, "Tu não precisas ter / Olhos pra poder ver / O que te faz correr / E nunca alcançar / Me culpe / E siga," can be interpreted as a message to the former partner. Despite the pain and difficult memories, the singer seems to be saying that they understand why their former partner had to leave and that they are processing their emotions in their own way.
