Sem Você

Cogumelo Plutão's song 'Sem Você' delves into the poignant themes of lost youth and the enduring pain of separation. The lyrics open with a reflection on the passage of time, suggesting that what once felt like a recent beginning now seems distant and unresolved. This sense of temporal disorientation is further emphasized by the line 'as horas passam na velocidade de anos,' which translates to 'the hours pass at the speed of years,' highlighting the slow, dragging nature of time when one is in emotional turmoil.

The song continues to explore the unintended consequences of actions taken out of fear of suffering. The phrase 'O que fizemos foi sem querer' ('What we did was unintentional') suggests a sense of regret and the realization that their actions, driven by a desire to avoid pain, have led to unintended outcomes. This regret is compounded by the loss of their youth, which is described as having been lost along the way, symbolizing missed opportunities and the irreversible passage of time.

In the final lines, the singer grapples with the challenge of living with the constant presence of saudade—a deep, melancholic longing for someone or something that is absent. The phrase 'E com a saudade então vou tentando viver / Sem você' ('And with the longing, I try to live / Without you') encapsulates the struggle to move forward while being haunted by memories and the absence of a significant other. This emotional landscape is a testament to the universal experience of love, loss, and the passage of time, resonating deeply with listeners who have faced similar heartaches.
