Já Faz Tanto Tempo (feat. Lulu Santos)

“Já Faz Tanto Tempo” by Fresno, featuring Lulu Santos, delves into the emotional turmoil of a person who is unable to move on from a past relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who, despite the passage of time, remains haunted by memories of their former lover. The song opens with the protagonist observing their ex from a distance, not wanting to disrupt their apparent happiness. This sets the tone for the internal conflict that runs throughout the song.

The lyrics reveal a deep sense of regret and self-awareness. The protagonist acknowledges that they never made their ex as happy as they seem now and fears being a painful memory for them. This self-reflection is coupled with a raw admission of their own struggles to move on. The line “Achei que eu tava melhor, mas aquilo era só um tapume pra esconder” (I thought I was better, but it was just a facade to hide) underscores the facade of recovery, masking the lingering pain.

The chorus, with its repetitive plea of “Como te tirar de mim?” (How to get you out of me?), encapsulates the central theme of the song: the inability to forget and the enduring presence of the ex in the protagonist’s thoughts. The song also touches on the duality of emotions, where part of the protagonist doesn’t want their ex to be happy, while another part despises this feeling, recognizing the need for personal growth. This internal battle highlights the complexity of human emotions in the aftermath of a breakup.

The collaboration with Lulu Santos adds a layer of depth to the song, blending Fresno’s emotive rock style with Santos’ seasoned musicality. The result is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the difficult journey of moving on, resonating with anyone who has experienced the lingering ache of unresolved love.
