Memórias Lyrics in English Pitty

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Memórias by Pitty from Portuguese to English.
I was killing my heroes little by little
As if I didn't have
Any lesson to learn
I'm a contradiction and it slips from my hands
To make everything I say make any sense
I wanted to lose myself out there, pretending really well
That I never needed a place of my own
Memories, they're not just memories
They're ghosts whispering in my ears
Things that I
I always give my best
And I know that only like this maybe
Something around me might move
I'll tear you apart
Every time I remember
Where you've gone without me
Memories, they're not just memories
They're ghosts whispering in my ears
Things that I
Memories, they're not just memories
They're ghosts whispering in my ears
Things I don't even want to know
I'm a contradiction and it slips from my hands
To make everything I say make any sense
I wanted to lose myself out there, pretending really well
That I never needed a place of my own
Memories, they're not just memories
They're ghosts whispering in my ears
Things that I
Memories, they're not just memories
They're ghosts whispering in my ears
Things I don't even want to know
Don't even wanna know

SONG MEANING

“Memórias” is Pitty’s raw confession about wrestling with the past while trying to carve out a true sense of self. She sings of “killing her heroes” to show how the people or ideals she once admired have lost their shine, yet the empty space they leave is anything but quiet. The memories she thought she could store away keep coming back as “ghosts whispering in her ears,” reminding her of unresolved feelings, mistakes, and the places a loved one walked without her. Pitty exposes her own contradictions, admitting that her words do not always line up with her actions and that, beneath her rebellious façade, she still craves a place to belong.

At the same time, the song carries a note of defiance. Pitty promises to give the best of herself because that is the only way to shake the world around her, even if it means breaking someone else’s heart in the process. “Memórias” captures the push-and-pull between wanting to forget and being unable to escape what shaped us. It is an anthem for anyone who has ever tried to outrun their past, only to discover that memories are not just snapshots in time but living echoes that keep demanding to be heard.
