Novo Amor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh my god, I'll fill the coffee over
Tear out
All my love until my blood runs sober
Oh, let me down
My body's sinking, I can feel it now
Oh, hear me out
I've been thinking I won't stick around
See that?
Oh my God, I think we lost control
Feel that?
Don't mind me
I won't be here for long
So please don't tell me now
I swore it for you once and it gets me down
So please don't tell me now
Oh, get me out
My body's shaking, but I don't fear it now
I'll sing it out, thank god you're shrinking
'cause I won't be around
So I would take a bow
The lyrics of Novo Amor's song Utican suggest feelings of uncertainty and fear about one's future. The first verse describes a person who feels overwhelmed and consumed by their emotions. They ask if the listener can hear their cries for help and are resigned to the fact that they will not be able to escape their feelings. The second verse continues this theme of loss of control, with the singer acknowledging that they will not be around for long. They express a desperation to be heard and understood, but also a need to distance themselves from those they love. The repeated plea to not tell the singer something implies that they are already struggling with too much information or burden.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's feelings of being trapped and needing to escape. They describe their body sinking and shaking, a physical manifestation of their emotional state. The final line of the chorus, "thank god you're shrinking," implies that the person or situation that is causing the singer distress is finally starting to recede, giving them some hope of relief.
Overall, Utican is a poignant portrayal of the fragility of the human psyche and the struggle to maintain control in the face of overwhelming emotions. The repeated phrases and haunting melody reinforce the sense of despair, while the final chorus hints at the possibility of a new beginning.

Your voice is beautiful and so is your message. I’ve felt I’ve connected to you in so many ways I can’t explain even though I don’t know you as a person. You have helped me through struggles and good times and for that no matter how complicated and in detail I want to make this comment, thank you for expressing meaningful thoughts and all else for me and everyone else that’s ever listened. No words can explain how amazing this was to here and how I felt listening, to most of your music. I truly love ❤️ your music and skill in more ways then you might think I am thinking right now.
Love- Just a person that appreciates this and who does not take it for granted.
Thanks again Novo!
