Receio
Tom Gangue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seu olhar sua expressão
Me estressa a ponto de
Procurar , desvendar
Pra eu saber o que pensa
Toda vez que eu te ver
E ao achar que eu desvendei
Seu olhar sua expressão
Acho que não é pra eu saber
Sempre confunde minha intuição
Ela não deixa nenhuma pista
E só me deixa mais curioso
Pra poder me aproximar
Da mais linda princesa dark
Vou chegar perto de você
Eu só quero que me responda
Uma pergunta qualquer
Pra eu perder esse medo
E tirar da cabeça
Tudo isso que eu penso
E quando eu te perguntei
Seu silêncio me deixou
Amedrontado de vez
Não é pra eu saber
Nem era pra ter me aproximado
Você era coisa da minha cabeça
Que só vem pra me encher
Era pra ter admirado
De longe e sozinho
Como uma musa na TV
E ela nem sabe quando foi que eu me perdi
Ela nem sabe quando foi que eu me perdi
Mas ela me balança , ela me balança
Ela me balança , me balança
Mas ela me balança , ela me balança
Ela me balança , me balança

In the song "Receio" by Tom Gangue, the lyrics convey the singer's feelings of fear and uncertainty towards someone they are attracted to. The first verse starts by expressing their fear of this person. The singer is stressed and feels the need to unravel their thoughts and feelings in order to understand them better. However, every time they believe they have figured them out, the person's gaze and expression drive them crazy all over again.
The second verse continues the theme of confusion and uncertainty. The singer believes that they are not meant to understand this person. Their intuition is constantly being deceived, leaving no clues to follow and only increasing their curiosity. Despite these obstacles, the singer is determined to get closer to this "beautiful dark princess."
The third verse reveals the singer's desire to approach the person and ask a simple question to overcome their fear. They hope that by getting a response, they can rid themselves of the thoughts and uncertainties that plague their mind. However, when they finally gather the courage to ask, the person's silence frightens them even more.
The fourth and final verse acknowledges that the singer was never meant to know and be close to this person. They realize that the person was simply a figment of their imagination, someone who only exists to torment and disturb them. The singer should have admired them from a distance, like a muse on television. The repetition of the phrase "she shakes me" suggests that despite this realization, the singer is still captivated and affected by this person's presence, even though they themselves are unaware of the impact they have on the singer's emotions. The repetition serves to emphasize the conflicting emotions and confusion felt by the singer throughout the song.
Overall, "Receio" explores the complex emotions of fear, uncertainty, curiosity, and attraction towards someone who remains distant and unknown. The lyrics showcase the internal struggle of the singer as they try to interpret and navigate their feelings in relation to this person.

She shakes me, she shakes me
Ela me balança , me balança
She shakes me, shakes me
Mas ela me balança , ela me balança
But she shakes me, she shakes me
Ela me balança , me balança
She shakes me, shakes me
