Afinal
Os Travessos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Encostado em minha cama
Imaginando onde você está
Angustiado por dentro
Na tentativa de te encontrar
Em meus sonhos
E no bem claro dos sonhos
Você aparece vindo me amar
Minha carência infinita

Eu faço tudo pra te conquistar
Mas se eu voltasse a te encontrar
Dedicaria todo tempo pra te amar
Vem dizer que sim
Que não foi em vão
Entende essa paixão
Afinal
Porque que eu penso em você ainda
Se eu sei que não preencho mais seu coração

Eu errei e esse erro não tem mais conserto
Eu não sei o que fazer pra te conquistar

Overall Meaning

In Os Travessos's song "Afinal," the singer is laying on his bed, thinking about where his love interest is and feeling anguished from the search. In his dreams, she appears to come and love him, but in reality, he is left with his infinite need for her. He will do anything to win her back, but he knows that he made a mistake that cannot be undone. He wonders why he still thinks of her even though he knows he no longer fills her heart. Despite his error, he hopes to find a way to conquer her love again.

The lyrics speak to the pain of lost love and the struggle to come to terms with it. The singer is haunted by his mistakes, but he is also hopeful that he can find a way to regain the love of the woman he still longs for. The song's melody is a poignant reflection of the singer's emotions, with slow and dramatic instrumentals underscoring his heartbreak.
