Tao Lonely
Zuco 103 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quando eu lembro desse tempo
Junto e mesmo assim tão lonely
Como a promessa de um verão que chega e faz chover
Quando eu olho nos teus olhos o meu coração se esconde
E sai mostrando a todo o mundo o que ninguém quer ver
Sou eu, sou eu...

Sarta fora, quem tá na dor aqui sou eu
Sou eu sou eu nem ela nem você
Todo mundo tem que aprender
Mas eu não vou nessa ciranda, cirandinha
Que eu não sou de cirandar

Isso é tempo perdido
Tanto tempo perdido




Isso é tempo perdido
Tanto tempo perdido

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Zuco 103's song "Tao Lonely" is a reflection on a past relationship that left the singer feeling lonely even when they were together. The reference to a "promise of a summer that arrives and makes it rain" suggests that the relationship may have started with hope and optimism but ultimately led to disappointment. The singer's heart hides when they look into the eyes of their former partner, as if they are ashamed to show the pain and vulnerability they still feel. The repetition of "sou eu" at the end of the verse emphasizes the personal nature of the emotions being expressed.


The second verse is a defiance against anyone who tries to diminish or dismiss the singer's feelings of pain. The command to "Sarta fora" (which roughly translates as "get out of here") asserts that the singer is the one suffering and that their experience is real and valid. The line "Sou eu sou eu nem ela nem você" reinforces the idea that this is a personal struggle that cannot be shared or understood by others. The final two lines of the verse suggest a refusal to participate in a game of pretending that everything is okay ("I'm not one to dance in circles").


Finally, the repeated line "Isso é tempo perdido" (this is wasted time) echoes throughout the song, underscoring the sense of regret and frustration that permeate the singer's reflections. The lyrics suggest that the pain of lost love can linger long after the relationship has ended, and that the struggle to move on is a lonely one that cannot be fully understood by anyone else.
