Vivendo Por Viver

In 'Vivendo Por Viver,' Nando Reis delves into the depths of emotional turmoil and existential confusion. The song's protagonist is grappling with a profound sense of loss and disorientation, living life without clear purpose or direction. The opening lines, 'Sem motivos vou vivendo por ai / Por viver,' set the tone for a narrative steeped in melancholy and aimlessness. The protagonist's values and sense of self are in disarray, repressed by the lingering presence of a past love, as indicated by 'Meus valores tão confusos reprimidos / Por você.'

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person wandering through life, taking 'passos sem sentido pelas ruas,' unsure of where to go or what to do. This aimlessness is compounded by a sense of futility, as 'viver já nada mais significa.' The protagonist's return home is not a refuge but a place to hide from well-meaning people who believe they can solve his problems. Despite this, he clings to the hope of his lost love's return, cultivating her presence in his mind even though she is unaware.

The song's emotional weight is further amplified by the haunting memories that invade the protagonist's nights, leaving him sleepless and tormented. 'As lembranças / Me chegam sempre em noites tão vazias' captures the relentless nature of these memories. The distance between him and his lost love erodes his hope, yet he still yearns to 'reviver aquele nosso grande amor.' Nando Reis masterfully conveys the agony of unfulfilled love and the struggle to find meaning in its absence, making 'Vivendo Por Viver' a poignant exploration of heartache and existential despair.
