Não Se Esqueça
Personas Lyrics

These lyrics depict a person grappling with their emotions and past mistakes in a relationship. The opening lines, "O silêncio se desfez, Mas ainda não sei o que dizer" (The silence dissipated, but I still don't know what to say), convey a sense of confusion and hesitation. The singer acknowledges that they have wasted a lot of time waiting for a sign or validation, and they admit to blaming their partner for their own errors, saying "Te culpei pelos erros que eu mesmo fiz" (I blamed you for the mistakes I made).

In the chorus, the repetition of "Não se esqueça" (Don't forget) emphasizes the singer's plea for the other person to remember their persistence and determination. The lines "Que fui eu quem insisti, Eu nunca desisti" (It was me who insisted, I never gave up) indicate that despite the challenges faced in the relationship, the singer remained committed and determined.

As the lyrics progress, the singer reflects on their state of mind and emotional turmoil. They reveal that they feel trapped and overwhelmed, symbolized by the line "Nos escombros me encontrei, Soterrado por tudo que não falei" (In the wreckage, I found myself, buried by everything I didn't say). This suggests that the singer regrets not speaking up and expressing their true feelings, which may have had a detrimental impact on the relationship.

The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the plea for remembrance and highlighting the singer's persistent nature. The final lines express the singer's growing impatience and uncertainty over waiting for the other person to return, as well as their constant fear and doubt, represented by the phrase "E essa incerteza, Sempre a me assombrar" (And this uncertainty, always haunting me).

Overall, "Não Se Esqueça" portrays a person trapped in their own emotional turmoil, recognizing their mistakes and pleading for their partner to remember their unwavering dedication. It conveys a sense of regret, impatience, and a constant battle with uncertainty.
