Você Me Usava

In 'Você Me Usava,' Grupo Kamisa 10 delves into the painful realization of being used in a relationship. The song's lyrics poignantly capture the emotional turmoil of discovering that what seemed like love was merely a facade. The opening lines set the stage for this narrative, describing the desperation and vulnerability that can cloud one's judgment. The metaphor of not knowing whether one is drinking pure water or poison highlights the uncertainty and risk involved in trusting someone new.

As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal the protagonist's growing awareness of the deceit. The repeated lines, 'Você não era o que eu pensava / Não fazia amor, você me usava,' emphasize the betrayal felt by the protagonist. The use of the word 'usava' (used) starkly contrasts with the initial perception of love, underscoring the emotional manipulation at play. The song's chorus further explores this theme, with the protagonist lamenting how they were made to believe in a surreal, almost dreamlike affection that turned out to be mere desire.

The song also touches on the broader theme of trust and the difficulty of discerning genuine intentions in relationships. The lines 'Por que no fundo ninguém sabe quem é quem / Quem vai fazer mal, quem vai fazer bem' reflect a universal truth about the unpredictability of human behavior. This sentiment is echoed in the repeated refrain of 'sacanagem' (trickery), which encapsulates the sense of betrayal and disillusionment. Through its heartfelt lyrics and relatable themes, 'Você Me Usava' resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of being deceived by someone they trusted.
