Memórias

"Memórias" by Desgu is a poignant exploration of nostalgia and the longing for simpler, happier times. The song's lyrics express a deep yearning to return to a past filled with joy and innocence, contrasting sharply with the present, which is depicted as filled with sadness and disappointment. The artist reflects on childhood memories, such as playing games like Ben 10 and enjoying victories, which symbolize a time of carefree happiness and fulfillment.

The repetition of the desire to "voltar" or "return" underscores the emotional weight of these memories. The artist reminisces about the joy of having friends and the simple pleasures of playing ball and attending school. These activities are emblematic of a time when life was less complicated and more joyful. The contrast between past and present is stark, with the present described as "infeliz" or unhappy, highlighting a sense of loss and disillusionment.

Ultimately, the song acknowledges the impossibility of returning to the past, as expressed in the line "Mas eu sei que nunca vou poder voltar" (But I know I can never go back). This realization leads to a sense of self-forgiveness, as the artist creates this song as a means of coping with the inability to reclaim those cherished moments. "Memórias" captures the universal human experience of nostalgia, the bittersweet nature of memories, and the struggle to find peace in the present despite the longing for the past.
