Era Pra Ser Eu

Lucas Lucco's song 'Era Pra Ser Eu' delves deep into the themes of regret and heartache following a breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who wishes he could turn back time to fix the mistakes that led to the end of his relationship. The opening lines express a longing to enter a time machine, highlighting the depth of his regret and the desire to undo the past. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where he reflects on what he could have done differently to prevent the breakup.

The chorus is particularly poignant, as it captures the pain of seeing his former lover with someone else. The repeated line 'Era pra ser eu' (It was supposed to be me) underscores his sense of loss and the realization that he could have been the one making her happy. This repetition emphasizes the depth of his sorrow and the constant reminder of what he has lost. The imagery of tears falling as he watches her kiss another person is a powerful representation of his emotional turmoil.

Throughout the song, Lucas Lucco uses simple yet effective language to convey complex emotions. The contrast between what he did and what he wishes he had done ('Eu ia pedir desculpa invés de brigar' - I would have apologized instead of fighting) highlights the small but significant actions that could have changed the course of their relationship. The recurring theme of drinking and thinking about the past ('Bebendo e pensando na gente') further illustrates his ongoing struggle to move on and the weight of his regrets. This song resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of a breakup and the lingering question of 'what if'.
