Porque

Matias Damasio's song 'Porque' delves into the emotional turmoil that accompanies the end of a relationship. The lyrics express disbelief and sorrow over the breakup, highlighting the difficulty of accepting that something once cherished has come to an end. The repetition of the phrase 'parece mentira mas e verdade' (seems like a lie but it's true) underscores the shock and denial often felt when faced with the harsh reality of a separation.

The song's chorus questions the inevitability of endings, reflecting a deep sense of loss and a reluctance to move on. The lyrics 'Terminar e tão ruim' (Ending is so bad) and 'não quero mas voltar a amar' (I don't want to love again) convey a fear of future heartbreak, suggesting that the pain of this experience has left a lasting impact. The artist's wish to be deaf to avoid hearing the words 'adeus' (goodbye) illustrates a desire to escape the pain associated with the farewell.

Damasio also touches on the unfulfilled dreams and plans that often accompany a relationship, such as the children they did not have and the house they did not build. These lines evoke a sense of what could have been, adding to the song's melancholic tone. The question 'para onde vão os sonhos' (where do the dreams go) poignantly captures the feeling of uncertainty and the search for closure following the dissolution of a shared future.
