Song Meaning of “Deus Me Livre – Ao Vivo” by Raça Negra
The song ‘Deus Me Livre – Ao Vivo’ by Raça Negra speaks to the feeling of being let down by love after having devoted oneself to it. In the song, the singer expresses his desperation and plead to God for his protection. The song paints a picture of someone who had so much faith in the idea of love, yet still was failed and hurt by it.
The lyrics ‘ Deus me livre desse amor que me prendeu (Oh, oh, oh) / Eu fui perseguir algo tão ilusório (Oh, oh, oh)’ captures this intensity by describing the singer’s invocation to God to be saved from the love that earlier captivated him, calling it something ‘illusory’ that is not real.
The chorus ‘Eu fui procurar com tanta vontade o amor verdadeiro (Oh, oh, oh)’ further shows the singer’s hopeful implied search for true love with all the desire. But as the song moves on, the singer realizes how love has failed him and he pleads with God for his mercy and salvation.
This song gives a voice to those who have been burned in the fire of love and portrays how it can take so much yet still leave one despairingly empty.
