Por Toda Vida / Recaídas

Lauana Prado's song "Por Toda Vida / Recaídas" is a poignant exploration of unrequited love and the emotional turmoil that accompanies it. The lyrics convey a deep, almost obsessive passion for someone who does not reciprocate the same feelings. The protagonist is consumed by thoughts of their beloved, unable to imagine life without them. This intense longing is evident in lines like "Só consigo pensar em você" (I can only think of you) and "Ficar sem você é saudade demais" (Being without you is too much longing). The song captures the essence of a love that is both beautiful and painful, highlighting the struggle of holding onto hope despite the odds.

The song also delves into the complexities of moving on from a past relationship. The protagonist acknowledges that their beloved is free to be with anyone they choose, yet they cannot help but feel a deep sense of loss and jealousy. This internal conflict is expressed in the lines "Você pode ficar com quem você quiser / Não tem nada a ver / Eu não mando em você / Mas ainda choro" (You can be with whoever you want / It has nothing to do with me / I don't control you / But I still cry). The lyrics reveal a vulnerability and a desire to see their beloved happy, even if it means enduring their own heartache.

The recurring theme of "recaídas" (relapses) adds another layer to the song's emotional depth. Despite attempts to move on, the protagonist finds themselves repeatedly drawn back into memories of their past love. This cyclical pattern of hope and despair is captured in the lines "Têm semanas que às vezes sofro e vêm as recaídas" (There are weeks when I sometimes suffer and relapses come). The song poignantly illustrates the difficulty of letting go and the enduring impact of a love that remains unfulfilled.
