Song Meaning of “Eu Devo a Ela” by Banda Bastião
Eu Devo a Ela is a heartbreaking and beautifully composed song by Banda Bastião, which speaks about the heartache and emptiness that comes after a deep connection is suddenly gone.
The narrator begins by lamenting how everything has changed for him without her. He speaks of how these sudden changes freeze him in time, as if in a trance, with no knowledge of how he can move on fromit. He just knows that without her he will forever remain in limbo.
He begins to question everything, asking “why” in English, frustrated by what has been taken away from him. He pines for her, desperately confessing how much he misses her, but knowing that the connection between them has already ended.
The chorus is a cry of raw emotion, declaring how everything that he has, or will ever become, is all because of her. He expresses how his life would be lost without her, due to the power and influence she had on him.
At the end of the song, the narrator desperately pleads to be relieved from the memory of his lost love. He knows he must move forward, but still feels indebted to her, and it will always stay that way.
