Matemática do Amor

Matias Damasio's song "Matemática do Amor" is a poetic exploration of the complexities of love through the metaphor of mathematics. The lyrics describe the narrator's attempts to remove someone from their life using mathematical operations, such as subtraction and multiplication, to diminish feelings and memories. However, these efforts are in vain as the narrator realizes that love is not something that can be calculated or easily dismissed. The heart, described as an 'ignored element' in the narrator's equation, remains steadfast in its affection.

The song continues to depict the narrator's struggle as they search for their lost love in various places, indicating a deep sense of longing and heartache. The repeated phrase 'Te amo de um milhão, Raiz quadrada do meu coração' (I love you a million, square root of my heart) emphasizes the depth and unquantifiable nature of the narrator's feelings. The mathematical terms serve as a creative way to express the intensity and irrationality of love.

Towards the end of the song, the lyrics shift to acknowledge the beloved as the essential ingredient for happiness, the cure for sorrow, and the magical formula for life. This transition from trying to forget to fully embracing love's importance highlights the transformative power of love and the realization that it is an integral part of the narrator's being. The song, with its blend of mathematical imagery and emotional vulnerability, captures the universal struggle of dealing with love's enduring impact on the human heart.
