Quem É?

In 'Quem É?', Paula Fernandes delves into the emotional turmoil and lingering pain that follows the end of a significant relationship. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's struggle with the aftermath of a breakup, marked by feelings of loss, confusion, and longing. The opening lines, 'Distorções, medos e juras / Pesadelos e agruras,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the chaos and emotional distress that have taken over the protagonist's life. These words suggest a sense of betrayal and broken promises, which have left the protagonist grappling with uncertainty and mental anguish.

The metaphor of love being 'corroendo feito traça' (corroding like a moth) and 'destruindo feito fogo no capim' (destroying like fire in the grass) powerfully conveys the destructive impact of the breakup. These images evoke a sense of irreversible damage, emphasizing how the once-strong bond has been reduced to ashes. The protagonist's pain is further amplified by the lover's departure without a backward glance, leaving a void that seems impossible to fill. The line 'Evaporou o seu amor dentro de mim' poignantly captures the sense of love dissipating into nothingness, leaving the protagonist feeling empty and abandoned.

The chorus poses a series of heart-wrenching questions, 'Quem é que vai me amar naquelas noites / Devolver aquilo tudo que era meu?' These questions reflect the protagonist's deep yearning for the return of the love and happiness that were once theirs. The loss of joy and the sweetness of past kisses are palpable, as the protagonist laments the broken promises and the absence of the lover who once brought so much light into their life. Paula Fernandes' emotive delivery and the poignant lyrics combine to create a powerful narrative of love lost and the enduring pain that follows.
