Antes do Fim

Manu Gavassi's song 'Antes do Fim' delves into the complexities of an unexpected romantic connection. The lyrics paint a picture of two individuals who initially set boundaries to avoid falling in love. They are described as 'two tired, wrong hearts,' indicating past emotional baggage and a mutual agreement to keep things casual. Despite their intentions, the simplicity and comfort of their interactions make it difficult to maintain this emotional distance. The ease with which they connect, even in mundane moments, becomes a catalyst for deeper feelings.

The chorus reveals the internal conflict faced by the narrator. They acknowledge that the relationship wasn't supposed to become serious, yet they find themselves yearning for more. The repeated plea, 'Just don't look at me like that,' underscores the power of non-verbal communication and the intensity of their connection. The narrator is torn between the desire to keep things light and the growing attachment that threatens to disrupt their initial agreement.

As the song progresses, the lyrics highlight the small, intimate moments that have deepened their bond. The mention of a kiss on the back being 'poetry' and the daily presence of the other person illustrate how intertwined their lives have become. The narrator's struggle to forget and the realization that wanting the other person was never part of the plan adds a layer of vulnerability and authenticity to the song. 'Antes do Fim' captures the bittersweet nature of unexpected love, where the heart's desires often defy the mind's intentions.
