Já Vou Tarde

Phill Veras' song 'Já Vou Tarde' delves into the complexities of a relationship that has reached its breaking point. The lyrics paint a picture of disillusionment and the painful realization that what was once thought to be a promising connection has ultimately failed. The opening lines, 'Era pra ser diferente, Tudo mais decente, O certo é que não funcionou,' set the tone for the song, expressing a sense of regret and unmet expectations. The repetition of 'não deu, não dá, não vou' emphasizes the finality of the decision to part ways.

The chorus, 'E mais, acho que já vou tarde, E mais, viver contigo arde,' highlights the emotional toll of staying in a relationship that has become unbearable. The use of the word 'arde' (burns) metaphorically conveys the pain and discomfort of being with someone who no longer brings joy. The suggestion to 'guarde seus gritos para o rapaz que for amar mais tarde' implies a hope that the other person will find someone else who can love them better, but also a sense of resignation and moving on.

In the latter part of the song, Veras reflects on the nature of love and the mistakes made along the way. The lines 'Ah que bobagem o amor, A maldade já passou' suggest a cynical view of love, seeing it as a foolish endeavor that has caused harm. The plea 'não cometa mais, não cometa mais, não' serves as a warning against repeating the same mistakes in future relationships. Overall, 'Já Vou Tarde' is a poignant exploration of the end of a relationship, marked by a mix of sorrow, relief, and a cautious hope for the future.
