Meu Medo

In 'Meu Medo,' Zé Neto e Cristiano explore the profound and relatable fear of losing a loved one. The song begins with the narrator reminiscing about the early days of their relationship, highlighting the initial attraction to their partner's contrasting personality. This difference was so captivating that it motivated the narrator to go to great lengths to win their partner's love, even exhausting all their emotional 'credits.' This sets the stage for the central theme of the song: the fear of losing this hard-earned love.

The lyrics delve into the various fears the narrator has faced, including the fear of flying, which they overcame for the sake of their partner. However, the most significant fear, which they kept hidden, is the fear of not being able to make their partner happy anymore. This fear manifests in small, everyday actions like not being able to say goodnight or give a goodnight kiss. The imagery of the missing ring and the empty bathroom, devoid of their partner's toothbrush, poignantly illustrates the depth of this fear.

The song's chorus encapsulates the essence of this fear: the dread of being alone and the anxiety of a relationship ending. The narrator fears mundane yet intimate moments, like spending Sundays alone or not having anyone to share plans with. The repetition of the phrase 'Meu medo é um dia ficar sem você' (My fear is one day being without you) underscores the vulnerability and emotional dependence that love can bring. Zé Neto e Cristiano's heartfelt delivery and the relatable lyrics make 'Meu Medo' a touching exploration of the universal fear of losing someone dear.
