Corre (Corre)

Gabi Luthai's song "Corre (Corre)" is a poignant exploration of a relationship that has lost its warmth and meaning. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of emotional detachment and the realization that the connection between the two individuals has become predictable and devoid of passion. The protagonist feels unheard and unappreciated, as indicated by lines like "Me abraça e não sinto teu calor" (You hug me and I don't feel your warmth) and "Me interrompe e adivinha sem paixão" (You interrupt me and guess without passion). This emotional distance leads to a sense of inevitability about the relationship's end, encapsulated in the phrase "história de sempre, tão previsível" (the same old story, so predictable).

The chorus, with its repeated call to "corre, corre, corre, coração" (run, run, run, heart), serves as both a plea and a command. It reflects the protagonist's decision to let go and move on, despite the pain and the memories. The line "De nós dois eu nunca fui a mais veloz" (Of the two of us, I was never the fastest) suggests a history of being left behind or not being able to keep up emotionally. Yet, there's a newfound strength in the resolve to not shed any more tears and to not look back, as emphasized by "Minhas lágrimas jamais vou te dar" (I will never give you my tears).

The song also touches on the theme of repeated patterns in relationships. The protagonist acknowledges having lived through similar situations before, which adds to the sense of fatigue and resignation. The phrase "Já vivi essa cena" (I've lived this scene before) underscores the cyclical nature of their experiences. Ultimately, the song is a declaration of independence and self-worth. The protagonist decides to break free from the cycle, stating "Isso é normal, e na real não ligo mais" (This is normal, and in reality, I don't care anymore). This final acceptance and indifference mark a significant emotional turning point, highlighting the importance of self-respect and the courage to move forward.
