Por Causa de Você

The Fevers' song 'Por Causa de Você' delves into the deep emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The lyrics express the pain and loneliness experienced by the narrator, who is suffering because of their unreciprocated feelings. The opening lines, 'Só você não vê / Finge que não sabe / Que eu estou sofrendo / Por causa de você,' reveal the frustration and sorrow of the narrator, who feels invisible and ignored by the object of their affection. This sets the tone for a song filled with longing and heartache.

The song continues to paint a vivid picture of the narrator's desolation, with lines like 'Sonhos que não vêm / Luzes da cidade / E eu me sinto só / Por causa de você.' Here, the narrator describes how their dreams are unfulfilled and how even the bustling city lights cannot alleviate their sense of loneliness. The imagery of the city lights contrasts with the narrator's inner darkness, emphasizing the depth of their emotional pain.

In the chorus, the narrator's desperation becomes even more apparent: 'E eu te quero tanto / Tanto que nem sei dizer / Que a felicidade pra mim / É nunca perder você.' This declaration of love underscores the narrator's belief that their happiness is entirely dependent on being with the person they love. The plea to a star, 'Peço pra uma estrela / Pra te convencer enfim / Que eu não sou / Ninguém sem você / E não há você sem mim,' highlights the narrator's hope that some external force might help them win the affection of their beloved. The repetition of 'Que eu não sou / Ninguém sem você / E não há você sem mim' reinforces the idea that the narrator's identity and sense of self-worth are inextricably linked to their love for this person.

'Por Causa de Você' is a poignant exploration of the agony of unrequited love, capturing the intense emotions of longing, loneliness, and desperation that come with loving someone who does not return those feelings.
