Vivendo Por Viver
Márcio Greyck
The Lingering Echoes of Lost Love
Márcio Greyck's song 'Vivendo Por Viver' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a person grappling with the aftermath of a lost love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is merely existing rather than truly living, their sense of purpose and direction shattered by the absence of a significant other. The protagonist's values and sense of self are in disarray, repressed by the lingering influence of their past relationship. This sense of aimlessness is poignantly captured in the lines where they wander the streets without a clear destination, symbolizing their internal confusion and lack of meaning in life.
The song further explores the protagonist's struggle to cope with their solitude. They return home, seeking refuge from well-meaning people who believe they can solve their problems. However, the protagonist is trapped in a cycle of longing, unable to let go of the past. They continue to nurture the presence of their lost love, even though the other person is unaware. This unfulfilled hope is a recurring theme, as they wait for the return of their beloved, clinging to the possibility that it could happen if only the other person wished it.
The nights are particularly torturous, filled with memories that disrupt their peace of mind. The protagonist's insomnia is a testament to the depth of their emotional pain, as they lie awake until dawn, haunted by the past. The distance between them and their lost love gradually erodes their hope of reconciliation, yet they still yearn to revive the great love they once shared. The song concludes with a reflection on the shattered dreams and wasted love, highlighting the protagonist's desperate attempt to hold onto any remnants of their past relationship, no matter how small, to feel the presence of their lost love once more.
