Antes Que Eu Me Esqueça

Vanguart's song 'Antes Que Eu Me Esqueça' delves into the emotional turmoil of trying to move on from a past relationship. The lyrics are a poignant reflection on the difficulty of forgetting someone who once meant a lot. The opening lines, 'Antes que eu me esqueça da minha cabeça, escreve teu nome nesse papel,' suggest a desperate attempt to hold on to memories before they fade away. This sets the tone for a song that grapples with the complexities of memory and emotional attachment.

The song continues to explore the theme of lost friendship and the desire to renew oneself. The lines 'Já faz algum tempo que não somos amigos, e eu quero esquecê-la, renovar meu abrigo' indicate a longing to move past the relationship and find a new sense of self. However, the singer acknowledges the cruel nature of time, describing it as a 'piada' (joke) while feeling insignificant ('quase nada'). This juxtaposition highlights the internal conflict between wanting to forget and being unable to do so.

As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal a sense of frustration and helplessness. The singer admits to feeling 'pouco contigo' (little with you) but also recognizes that the presence of the other person is overwhelming ('você em mim exagera'). The imagery of a 'dia frio longe do mar' (cold day far from the sea) evokes a sense of isolation and longing. The song culminates in a plea for understanding, warning that a lack of empathy could lead to emotional destruction ('Eu vou quebrar teus olhos, você vai se entregar'). This powerful ending underscores the intense emotional stakes involved in the struggle to let go.
