minha vida
Os Travessos Lyrics

The lyrics of "Minha Vida" by Os Travessos delve into the tumultuous emotions of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a past love. The singer expresses his inability to control his feelings, acknowledging the need to end his suffering and move forward, even though he is unsure of how to do so. He repeatedly tries to forget the person, but each attempt proves futile, highlighting the depth of his emotional attachment and the difficulty of letting go.

The repetition of the lines "Não posso controlar meu sentimento / Preciso acabar com o sofrimento não sei o que fazer / Eu tento a todo instante não consigo / Eu sei não vai ser fácil, mas preciso te esquecer" reinforces the sense of inner turmoil and the internal conflict the singer is experiencing. Despite understanding the necessity of moving on, he grapples with the overwhelming emotions that continue to bind him to the past.

The lyrics also touch upon the pain of unrequited love, as the singer laments that while he continues to suffer, the object of his affection has already moved on and forgotten him. This asymmetry in emotions deepens his anguish, underscoring the feeling of being left behind and abandoned. The passage "Mas esse sentimento é maior do que eu / Enquanto eu sofro você já me esqueceu / Me esqueceu e não quer saber de mim" poignantly captures this sentiment of heartbreak and one-sided love.

Furthermore, the song conveys a sense of hope and resilience as the singer looks towards the future with the belief that his life will improve once he can finally forget his past love. The lines "Minha vida vai mudar pra melhor assim que eu te esquecer / Você vai ver que me perdeu / Minha vida vai mudar pra melhor assim que eu te esquecer / Foi um grande erro seu" signify a potential turning point in his journey of healing and personal growth. By letting go of the past, he envisions a brighter future and sends a message to his former lover that letting him go was their loss.
