Me Leva

Agepê's song 'Me Leva' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and longing. The lyrics tell the story of a love that began playfully, almost whimsically, in the 'cordilheiras da ilusão' (mountains of illusion). This metaphor suggests that the love was built on dreams and fantasies, rather than solid ground. The love came unexpectedly, like a wind without direction, and grew into a deep passion. However, just as suddenly as it arrived, it disappeared, leaving the narrator in a state of emotional turmoil.

The song's second verse delves into the aftermath of this lost love. The narrator describes how the love 'invaded' him, bringing immense pleasure, only to vanish and leave him feeling empty and incomplete. The imagery of the wind taking away the love as quickly as it brought it highlights the fleeting and unpredictable nature of emotions. The lingering memory of the lover's smile serves as a painful reminder of what once was, making it impossible for the narrator to forget and move on.

In the chorus, the narrator pleads with the wind to take him back to his lost love. This desperate cry underscores the depth of his need and the lengths he is willing to go to reunite with her. The repetition of 'Me leva!' (Take me!) emphasizes his urgency and despair. The song concludes with the narrator's declaration that he needs this love and will do anything to avoid losing it again. Agepê's soulful delivery and the emotive lyrics combine to create a powerful narrative of love's highs and lows, capturing the universal experience of yearning for a lost connection.
