A Vontade captures the exact instant when the will to stay quietly slips away. Tomás Adrião sings from the perspective of someone who has already given “demais” and finally decides to walk out the door, even if every step is filled with uncertainty. The repeated line “vou daqui, sem ter certezas” paints a vivid picture of leaving without a map, while the metaphor “o amor é isto, correr e não ganhar” compares love to a relentless race where you never quite reach the finish line.
At its heart, the song is a liberating farewell. It acknowledges the ache of unreciprocated feelings, yet it also celebrates the courage to choose change, chase self-growth, and start anew. Listeners are left with a bittersweet mix of closure and hope—proof that sometimes the bravest act of love is knowing when to let go.
