Destino

In 'Destino,' Steven Universo delves into the intricate interplay between destiny and reality, exploring themes of belief, fantasy, and the impact of one's presence in the real world. The song opens with a call to trust in destiny, suggesting that if one believes in it, they can leave the rest to the singer. This sets the stage for a narrative where faith in destiny is juxtaposed with the tangible aspects of life, creating a tension between what is imagined and what is real.

The lyrics then shift to a discussion of fantasy, with the singer asserting that they possess the ability to see what others might not. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for insight or a deeper understanding of life's possibilities. The repeated question, 'O que você faz aqui?' (What are you doing here?), underscores a sense of curiosity and perhaps confusion about the presence of someone in the 'real world.' This line is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the singer's bewilderment and the impact of this presence on their reality.

The song's chorus, 'Tão perto, tão perto' (So close, so close), highlights the proximity of this person, suggesting an emotional or physical closeness that is both intriguing and unsettling. The final line, 'Mexendo comigo assim!' (Messing with me like this!), captures the emotional turmoil and disruption caused by this presence. Through these lyrics, Steven Universo paints a vivid picture of the delicate balance between destiny and reality, and the profound effect that belief and presence can have on one's life.
