Razão do Meu Viver

The Heart's Conquest: A Journey of Love and Passion
Gera Samba's song "Razão do Meu Viver" is a heartfelt ode to love and the transformative power it holds over one's life. The lyrics tell the story of someone who has found their true love, describing the profound impact this person has had on their existence. The song opens with the arrival of this significant other, who has the ability to conquer hearts and inspire dreams. This person brings joy and confusion, replacing loneliness with the warmth of passion and love.
The narrator expresses a deep desire for their beloved to understand the depth of their feelings. They hope that their significant other will realize that they are meant to be together, as the narrator believes they were made for each other. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines, "Quem dera eu ver você mudar / O pensamento que vem de mim chegar / A conclusão / Que eu fui feito pra você." The narrator's love is so intense that it has become the very reason for their existence, their "razão do meu viver."
The song also touches on the theme of madness brought on by love. The narrator admits to feeling a sense of madness when they realized the depth of their emotions and the importance of their beloved in their life. This intense feeling is a testament to the overwhelming power of love, which can drive people to the brink of insanity. The repetitive and melodic "Laiá, laiá..." at the end of the song adds a rhythmic and almost hypnotic quality, emphasizing the all-consuming nature of the narrator's love.
