Meu Amor
Luan Pereira
The Journey of Love and Maturity
Luan Pereira's song 'Meu Amor' is a heartfelt narrative about the journey of love and personal growth. The lyrics begin with the singer reminiscing about leaving home early one day to meet someone special, filled with fear and anxiety. This encounter is significant because the last time they saw each other, the singer was only sixteen, a time when their heart was filled with pain and they were too young and shy to express their feelings of love.
The song then transitions to the singer's experiences of heartbreak and the lessons learned along the way. They mention having to 'break their face'—a metaphor for making mistakes and facing disappointments. The imagery of buying flowers that wilted the next day symbolizes the fleeting and often unappreciated efforts made in past relationships. These experiences, though painful, were necessary for growth and understanding the true value of love.
In the final verses, the singer addresses their 'amor' (love) directly, revealing that they have matured and become more confident in what they want. They acknowledge physical changes, such as gaining weight and looking older, but emphasize that their feelings have only grown stronger. The song beautifully captures the essence of evolving from youthful insecurity to mature, steadfast love, highlighting the enduring nature of true affection despite the passage of time and personal changes.
