Quero Fugir

Soraia Ramos' song 'Quero Fugir' delves into the complexities of a forbidden love affair. The lyrics express a deep sense of confusion and longing, as the protagonist grapples with the reality of being in love with someone who is already committed to another. The opening lines, 'Não está fácil, sei que tens alguém / Estamos sempre nesse vai e vem,' set the stage for a tumultuous relationship marked by uncertainty and emotional turbulence. The protagonist is caught in a cycle of hope and despair, seeking answers and clarity about the true feelings of their lover.

The recurring theme of wanting to escape, encapsulated in the chorus 'Quero fugir yeah contigo,' highlights the desire to break free from societal constraints and live out this forbidden love openly. The lyrics 'O proibido custa tanto, oh bae yeah / Não rasgues o nosso livro / Vamos viver todo esse perigo' suggest a willingness to embrace the risks and challenges that come with such a relationship. The metaphor of not tearing their 'book' implies a shared history and a story that they are not ready to end, despite the obstacles.

The song also touches on the emotional toll of this clandestine affair. Lines like 'Será que tudo isso é em vão / Eu não sei como / O teu corpo / Me prende' reveal the internal struggle and the powerful physical and emotional attraction that keeps the protagonist bound to their lover. The repeated questioning of 'Até quando que isso vai durar' underscores the uncertainty and the longing for resolution. Soraia Ramos' soulful delivery and the poignant lyrics make 'Quero Fugir' a compelling exploration of love, desire, and the human condition.
