Era Tão Bom (So Sick)

LUDMILLA's song 'Era Tão Bom (So Sick)' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a broken relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that was thrilling yet dangerous, capturing the essence of a passionate but ultimately destructive romance. The protagonist acknowledges the risk involved in getting involved with someone who had a 'cara do perigo' (face of danger), yet she couldn't resist the allure. This sets the stage for a narrative of regret and heartache, as she grapples with the aftermath of a love that has left her emotionally scarred.

The chorus poignantly contrasts the past and present, reminiscing about the times when her lover would smudge her lipstick with kisses, rather than causing her to cry. This imagery highlights the shift from moments of intimacy and joy to a state of sorrow and loss. The repetition of 'Tô sofrendo por quem não merece mais' (I'm suffering for someone who doesn't deserve it anymore) underscores the protagonist's realization that her pain is for someone unworthy, adding a layer of self-awareness and regret to her suffering.

The song also touches on themes of resilience and moving on. Despite the pain, the protagonist is determined to reclaim her life, as seen in lines like 'Indo pros pagodes, beijando sem love' (Going to parties, kissing without love). This signifies her attempt to find solace and distraction in social activities, even though her heart is still with her former lover. The repeated lament 'Maldita a hora que eu te conheci' (Cursed be the hour I met you) encapsulates the regret and longing that permeate the song, making it a powerful anthem of heartbreak and the struggle to heal.
