Apaga Apaga Apaga
Danilo e Davi
Between Unsended Messages and Broken Hearts
The song 'Apaga Apaga Apaga' by Danilo and Davi explores the complexity of emotions after the end of a relationship. The lyrical voice tries to convince himself that he’s fine without his ex-girlfriend, but the lyrics reveal that he’s still deeply affected by the breakup. The repetition of 'apaga, apaga, apaga' ('delete it, delete it, delete it') symbolizes the act of writing impulsive, longing-driven messages—only to delete them quickly in an attempt to hide true feelings and maintain a façade of indifference.
The narrator expresses a desire to forget and move on, but the heart’s pressure to see his ex again is evident. He asks her not to post anything about going out—perhaps to avoid jealousy or the pain of seeing her having fun without him. The lyrics reflect an internal struggle between pride and vulnerability, where he tries to keep his dignity but can’t escape the longing that 'wets his face'.
The song also touches on the hope that the ex-girlfriend feels the same way—that she, too, hasn’t been able to forget. This hope is expressed in his plea for her to say she still thinks about him. The lyrics offer a sincere and emotional portrait of how difficult it is to erase the memories of a past love, even when trying to move on. The song captures the essence of the pain and longing that accompany the end of a relationship, showing that, no matter how hard one tries, erasing feelings is not as easy as deleting a message.
