Inside my open chest where the back of your neck sleeps

You can hear my arteries calling your name

I'm your frontline, your religion

Your Byzantine shield, your yes, your no

And all those people who pray for us

Would change in an instant if they saw us alone

To my ear, the sound of your voice is so beautiful

I'll be wherever you are

I'll burn for the price of having you

The sky falls and I remember your body lit

Your soul burning just for me

I'm gonna stay here, here, here

You want me serious, so I take off my shorts

Inside you while my mind studies

Your strong back, my blood, my cure

Not even death scares me anymore

And all those people who pray for us

Would change in an instant if they saw us alone

To my ear, the sound of your voice is so beautiful

I'll be wherever you are

I'll burn for the price of having you

The sky falls and I remember your body lit

Your soul burning just for me

I'm gonna stay, here, here, here

I believe in us so much, I had a revelation

I saw where our future is

With fireworks in the sky while I kiss your mouth

Between your warm legs

I'll stay here, here, here

Here, here, here

SONG MEANING

Religião unfolds like a modern love psalm, where passion is treated as sacred ritual. Jão sings of a devotion so fierce that his lover’s name seems to pulse through his arteries, turning his chest into a living altar. He paints himself as the front line, shield, and faith of the relationship, suggesting that their bond outshines the prayers and opinions of the outside world. Every heartbeat, every whispered word, becomes part of a private liturgy that only the two of them can understand.

The song’s imagery fuses spirituality and desire: vows to burn for love, memories of a glowing body under a falling sky, and visions of fireworks as a future prophecy. Jão promises to remain wherever the other is, unafraid of any cost, even death, because their union is both his cure and his calling. In short, “Religião” celebrates love as a personal religion—fiery, intimate, and unshakably eternal.
