Estavas Comigo Por Interesse

The song 'Estavas Comigo Por Interesse' by Twenty Fingers delves into the painful realization of a love that was never genuine. The lyrics are a poignant expression of betrayal and heartbreak, as the protagonist grapples with the sudden departure of a partner who had once promised eternal fidelity. The repeated questioning, 'Onde é que está aquela mulher que prometeu ser fiel a mim,' underscores the disbelief and confusion of someone who has been left behind when their fortunes changed.

The chorus reveals the crux of the matter: the protagonist's partner left because he lost his job and status, reducing him to 'um Zé ninguém,' or a nobody. This stark transformation from a person of value to someone discarded highlights the conditional nature of the partner's love. The repeated line, 'Você bazou,' which means 'you left,' emphasizes the abruptness and finality of the departure, leaving the protagonist to confront the harsh truth that their partner was only with them for material gain.

The song's emotional depth is further amplified by the protagonist's reflections on their dedication and sacrifices, only to be met with abandonment. The lines, 'Toda minha vida para ti, como foste fazer isso,' express a deep sense of betrayal and hurt. The repeated assertion, 'Não estou acreditar que você bazou,' conveys a mix of disbelief and sorrow, as the protagonist comes to terms with the fact that their partner's love was never genuine but driven by self-interest. This song is a powerful commentary on the fragility of relationships built on superficial foundations and the emotional toll of discovering such truths.
