Devagar
Menores Atos Lyrics

The lyrics of Menores Atos's song "Devagar" convey a sense of longing and heartbreak. The opening lines, "Mesmo sem te ver ainda posso sentir, Hoje faz um mês que eu não consigo dormir" (Even without seeing you, I can still feel, Today marks a month since I can't sleep), illustrate the pain and emptiness experienced after a breakup or a loss. The singer is haunted by memories and struggles to move on, as indicated by the lyrics "Tudo faz lembrar, Dói não te ver aqui, As fotos que eu guardei, Os discos que ouvimos juntos, Tem você em tudo aqui" (Everything reminds me, It hurts not to see you here, The photos I kept, The records we listened to together, You are in everything here).

The chorus reflects a shift in perspective and a desire to take things slowly, to heal and find solace in the passage of time. The lines "Se eu tinha pressa de chegar, hoje eu prefiro ir devagar, Cansei de correr, Deixa o tempo passar, A gente nunca sabe o que vai acontecer" (If I used to hurry to arrive, today I prefer to go slowly, I'm tired of running, Let time pass, We never know what will happen) indicate a newfound realization that rushing through life does not bring resolution, and it's better to let things unfold naturally.

The second verse highlights the inner battle between holding onto hope and the pain of longing. The lyrics "O pior é que eu não paro de pensar em você, Às vezes é melhor nem ver, Eu queria poder dizer que eu tô melhor, que eu já sinto a vida voltando ao normal, Mas eu não sei, Às vezes é melhor nem ver, Saudade dói só de dizer" (The worst part is that I can't stop thinking about you, Sometimes it's better not to see, I wish I could say I'm better, that I already feel life returning to normal, But I don't know, Sometimes it's better not to see, Longing hurts just to say) encapsulate the conflicting emotions of wanting to move on while still deeply missing someone.

Overall, "Devagar" reflects the journey of healing after a loss, the struggle to let go of the past, and the realization that time is the ultimate healer.
