Depois (feat. Paula Fernandes)
Victor e Leo
Reflections on Life's Journey and Love
Victor e Leo's song 'Depois,' featuring Paula Fernandes, is a poignant reflection on the passage of time, the experiences one accumulates, and the ultimate quest for love and meaning. The lyrics delve into the myriad of emotions and events that shape a person's life, from the highs of love to the lows of disillusionment. The repetition of 'depois' (after) serves as a powerful anchor, emphasizing the continuous flow of time and the lessons learned along the way.
The song speaks to the universal human experience of seeking purpose and connection. It highlights the moments of joy and sorrow, the countless sunrises and sunsets, and the realization that what one thought they wanted may not have been true. This introspection is beautifully captured in the lines 'De ter achado que queria / E ver que só se enganaria' (Thinking you wanted something / And seeing you were only deceiving yourself). The lyrics suggest a journey of self-discovery, where the protagonist navigates through life's complexities, only to find themselves lost on their own path.
Ultimately, 'Depois' is a love song at its core. It questions what one desires to experience before the end, and what emotions they wish to feel. The repeated plea for the beloved's eyes to see 'Seu amor em mim' (Your love in me) underscores the longing for a deep, meaningful connection. This collaboration between Victor e Leo and Paula Fernandes brings a rich, emotional depth to the song, blending their voices to create a harmonious reflection on life's journey and the enduring quest for love.
