I wanna love till it hurts
I wanna give, I wanna live
I want more than to exist
I wanna be, I wanna feel
I spent my whole life searching
I walked barefoot through the dark night
I bared my teeth, did it with tenderness
I was afraid of crumbling and of bitterness
I silenced the voices when they sang to me
I waited alone when they screamed
I bit my tongue, saw myself sad in the mirror
I ate the bread and the dust and one day I said
Enough of poems, enough of pity
I wanna love till it hurts
I wanna give, I wanna live
I want more than to exist
I wanna be, I wanna feel
I wanna feel
I wanna feel
I grew up full of dreams, came from nothing
My mom cried when I hit the road
I wanted my name beside the stars
To belong and be the topic of conversations
Pride and ambition opened a wound
The tears, the hand of the one who gave me life
I prayed through the night, hoping
To find myself in that child's eyes
But enough of poems, enough of pity
I wanna love till it hurts
I wanna give, I wanna live
I want more than to exist
I wanna be, I wanna feel
I wanna feel
I wanna feel
I wanna feel
I wanna feel
I wanna feel
I wanna feel

SONG MEANING

“Quero Sentir” (which translates to “I Want to Feel”) is Mimicat’s fiery declaration that mere existence is never enough. Over a vibrant, soulful groove, she recounts wandering “barefoot through the dark night,” silencing inner doubts, tasting both “bread and dust,” and watching her mother’s tears as she chased her dreams. Each obstacle only fuels her vow to love until it hurts, give, live, and break free from self-pity.

The chorus pulses like a heartbeat: she refuses to be passive, craving raw emotion and authentic experience. By the end, every “Quero sentir” becomes a rallying cry for anyone who has ever longed to swap survival for passion, fear for ambition, and silence for a voice that shines as brightly as the stars she once hoped to stand beside.
