Além do Meu Querer

Arlindo Cruz's song 'Além do Meu Querer' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the struggle to move on. The lyrics tell the story of a deep and passionate love that has ended, leaving the narrator in a state of despair. The opening lines, 'Com você eu vivi / Um mais lindo sonho de amor,' set the stage for a tale of a beautiful dream that has turned into a nightmare. The narrator's universe has collapsed, and they are left to mourn the loss of a love that once brought immense joy and fulfillment.

The song delves into the emotional turmoil that follows a breakup. The lines 'E quem me vê assim / Perdido sem saber de mim / Sabe o quanto te amei' highlight the visible impact of the heartbreak on the narrator. They are lost and struggling to find themselves again, a common experience for anyone who has loved deeply and lost. The metaphor of not wanting to wake up from the dream of love underscores the reluctance to face the harsh reality of the breakup.

Despite the overwhelming sadness, there is a glimmer of hope and resilience in the song. The narrator acknowledges the need to 'pisar no chão' (step on the ground) and 'ressuscitar minha emoção' (resurrect my emotion). This signifies a determination to rebuild and find happiness again, even if it means starting over. The song beautifully captures the duality of love and loss, illustrating how one can be both devastated and hopeful in the aftermath of a breakup. Arlindo Cruz's soulful delivery and heartfelt lyrics make 'Além do Meu Querer' a touching and relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of love.
