Não Quero Isso Pra Você

In 'Não Quero Isso Pra Você,' Steven Universo delivers a poignant message about the dangers and responsibilities that come with being a Gem. The song opens with a reflection on the warnings Steven received about the perilous nature of being a Gem. Despite these warnings, he chose to embrace his identity, leading to his father's concern and anxiety. This sets the stage for Steven's heartfelt plea, expressing his desire to shield someone he cares about from the same dangers he faces. The repetition of 'Não quero pra você' underscores his protective instincts and the depth of his concern.

The lyrics also touch on the preciousness of life and the importance of protecting loved ones. Steven acknowledges the value of Earth and the people on it, emphasizing that this includes the person he is addressing. His fear of failing to protect them and the potential consequences of their harm weigh heavily on him. This fear is a driving force behind his determination to keep them safe, even if it means keeping them in the dark about the dangers he faces. The line 'Se eu não te protejo, se você se machucar, o que farei?' encapsulates his anxiety and sense of responsibility.

Steven's internal struggle is further highlighted in the latter part of the song, where he contemplates the burden of his experiences. He wishes to spare the person he cares about from the knowledge of the problems he faces and the places he has been. By doing so, he hopes to prevent them from worrying and becoming entangled in his struggles. The repeated assertion that they 'não tem que participar de nada disso' and 'não precisa disso' reflects his desire to keep them safe and uninvolved. This protective sentiment is a testament to Steven's love and selflessness, as he prioritizes their well-being over his own need for support or understanding.
