Era Pra Ser Eu
Loubet
The Heartbreak of Lost Love and Missed Opportunities
Loubet's song 'Era Pra Ser Eu' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of encountering a past love unexpectedly. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a chance meeting in the city, where the protagonist sees his former lover after two years. The sight of her, casually fixing her hair in a mirror, brings a flood of memories and unresolved feelings. The pain of their separation is still fresh, and the dreams they once shared have dissipated like smoke. This imagery powerfully conveys the lingering sorrow and the sense of loss that the protagonist feels.
As the protagonist approaches, he notices a man by her side, looking at her with love and admiration. This sight is a stark reminder of what he has lost. The presence of a child calling her 'mommy' adds another layer of complexity to his emotions. The child, holding a pacifier, symbolizes the life and love that could have been his. The protagonist's realization that 'it was supposed to be him' in that role of a loving partner and father is heart-wrenching. The lyrics suggest that fate or circumstance, described as 'betrayal,' has cruelly altered the course of their lives.
The song captures the essence of regret and the 'what if' scenarios that haunt those who have lost love. It speaks to the universal experience of seeing someone you once loved move on and build a life without you. The emotional weight of the song is amplified by the revelation that the child is a product of their past passion, making the protagonist's sense of loss even more profound. Loubet's poignant storytelling and emotive delivery make 'Era Pra Ser Eu' a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the enduring impact of missed opportunities.
