Look

How long ago did I tell you it won't work anymore

When things got sad you wanted to bail

You backed out, you gave everything to help yourself

And even so you came back just in time to hurt me

How long did your kiss try to poison me

When it was clear this love had no love in the air

That shaky game of yours, trying to drown me

In trite lines that drift away in the air

I wanna forget

False start

You won't change

I'm like a flame

I shook but I won't let myself be snuffed out

Your time has come

Look

It's already clearer than the glass that hurt us

The crowd already knew and didn't warn me

With the strength of a tornado that wrecked

That tidy world of yours that soon dried up

But today I drink strength from all I am

I found the missing piece and it brought us down

I kept the keys to the past, I'm not there anymore

You can stay sitting there sighing

I wanna forget

False start

I try again

I'm like a flame

I shook but I won't let myself be snuffed out

Your time has come

Look

But

I wanna forget

False start

You won't change

I'm like a flame

I shook but I won't let myself be snuffed out

Your time has come

Look

SONG MEANING

“Olha Lá” is Marisa Liz’s fiery wake-up call to a partner who never quite knew how to stay or how to love. In the verses she rewinds the story of a shaky relationship: promises were broken, goodbyes were rehearsed, and every kiss felt more like poison than passion. The singer watches her partner play a risky game of half-truths and clichés, only to come back “a tempo de me magoar” – just in time to hurt her again. Yet, instead of drowning in heartbreak, she recognises the pattern, labels it a falsa partida (false start), and decides it is finally game over for good.

The chorus flips the script into pure empowerment. Marisa compares herself to a flame – she might flicker, but she refuses to burn out. She locks away the memories, reclaims her strength, and tells her ex to “olha lá”, look closely, because the curtain is falling and their time is up. The message glows with self-respect: no more tornadoes wrecking her world, no more glass shards cutting deep. “Olha Lá” celebrates that thrilling moment when you realise your worth, walk away from what hurts, and keep your own fire burning bright.
