Deixa Morrer

Ornatos Violeta's song 'Deixa Morrer' delves into the complexities and transient nature of love. The lyrics explore the emotional journey of realizing one's capabilities and the impact of love on personal growth. The opening lines, 'Eu vi que eu sou capaz / Eu posso até sentir,' suggest a newfound self-awareness and confidence. This realization is seen as beneficial, as it will 'fazer-nos tão bem,' indicating that this self-discovery is not just personal but also beneficial to the relationship.

The chorus, 'E aparece assim / Acendeu-se a luz / Estão vivos outra vez,' metaphorically describes the rekindling of life and love. The imagery of a light being turned on symbolizes enlightenment and revival, suggesting that love has the power to bring vitality and a sense of being alive. However, the song also acknowledges the inherent loneliness that can exist within love, 'Amar é bom se houver / No fundo de um de nós / Alguma solidão.' This paradox highlights that love can be fulfilling yet isolating, a duality that many experience.

The song's conclusion, 'Mas deixa o nosso amor morrer,' is a poignant acceptance of love's impermanence. The repeated phrase 'Até o nosso amor morrer' throughout the song builds up to this final acceptance, suggesting that the end of love is not necessarily tragic but a natural part of its cycle. The lyrics 'Sentir não é mostrar / E dar não é sentir / É morrer em paz' further emphasize that true feelings and actions are often internal and not always visible, and that letting go can lead to peace. This nuanced portrayal of love's lifecycle makes 'Deixa Morrer' a deeply reflective and emotionally resonant piece.
