“Feito A Maré” flows like the ocean it is named after, carrying us through the push-and-pull of saudade—that uniquely Brazilian mix of longing, nostalgia, and love. Jota.pê and Gilsons paint a picture of a relationship that keeps circling back, just as waves always return to shore. Every time the loved one “surrounds” the singer again, there is a small celebration, yet the fear of heartbreak still squeezes his chest. The chorus admits that missing someone has become a daily ritual: the feeling curls up on the empty side of the bed, turning absence into a constant companion.
The tide metaphor deepens in the bridge: accepting that the sun sets so that it can rise elsewhere, the singer hopes their love can die in one place and bloom anew in another. The song suggests that affection is never truly lost; it simply retreats and returns, washing over the heart with fresh intensity. Joy, fear, loss, and renewal arrive in rhythmic waves, inviting the listener to sway along and feel every crest and trough of emotion.
