Até Me Afogar

In 'Até Me Afogar,' Grupo Doce Encontro delves into the depths of heartbreak and the painful process of moving on from a love that was once cherished. The song's title, which translates to 'Until I Drown,' sets the tone for the emotional turmoil that the lyrics explore. The opening lines reveal a sense of disillusionment, as the narrator reflects on a love that turned out to be nothing more than a dream they desperately wanted to believe in. This metaphor of drowning symbolizes the overwhelming nature of their emotions and the struggle to stay afloat amidst the pain.

The lyrics poignantly capture the narrator's realization that they gave too much of themselves in the relationship, loving far beyond what was reasonable. This excessive devotion only led to heartache, as they find themselves longing for someone who only brings them sorrow. The repetition of the phrase 'me doei, demais' (I gave too much) underscores the depth of their emotional investment and the subsequent regret. The song's narrative is a raw and honest portrayal of the internal conflict between the desire to hold on and the necessity of letting go.

As the song progresses, the narrator expresses a desire to erase all traces of the past relationship. They urge their former lover to discard everything that was shared, from physical mementos to the plans they once made together. This act of erasure is a symbolic attempt to cleanse themselves of the pain and start anew. The imagery of melting the ring and breaking everything associated with the love they once had highlights the finality of their decision. 'Até Me Afogar' is a powerful anthem of heartbreak, resilience, and the painful journey towards healing.
