Adventure of a Lifetime
Sarah Menescal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Umi she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
And we are legends every day
That's what she told me
Turn your magic on,
To me she'd say
Under this pressure, under this weight
We are diamonds
I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
Oh I feel my heart beating
Oh you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
Said I can't go on,
Not in this way
I'm a dream that died by light of day
Gonna hold up half the sky and say
Only I own me
I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
Oh, I feel my heart beating
Oh you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
Turn your magic on,
Umi she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
Under this pressure under this weight
We are diamonds taking shape
We are diamonds taking shape
If we've only got this life
This adventure, oh, then I
And if we've only got this life
You get me through
The song "Adventure of a Lifetime" by Sarah Menescal is a song that talks about finding hope and encouragement in the midst of life's difficulties. The song starts off with the words "Turn your magic on, Umi she'd say," where Umi who could possibly refer to a loved one, appears to be encouraging the singer to delve into their inner abilities and create their own magic to achieve their dreams. They seem to suggest that everything one desires is just a dream away and that every day presents an opportunity for one to become a legend.
As the song continues, the singer acknowledges the pressure and weight of life, but reminds listeners that they are diamonds taking shape. The lyrics "I feel my heart beating, I feel my heart underneath my skin, oh I feel my heart beating, oh you make me feel like I'm alive again" are a reminder that one's dreams are what makes them feel alive, and that they shouldn't give upon them, even when it seems impossible.
The song comes to a close with the lyrics "If we've only got this life, this adventure, oh, then I, and if we've only got this life, you get me through," which suggests the importance of the people we have in our lives and how they could be the support we need to get through life's challenges.

Maravilhosas interpretações. Infelizmente, devido aos artistas brasileiros não gravarem mais, temos que ouvir Bossa Nova em outras línguas. Excelente cantora, nota dez!
