Song Meaning of “Leonor” by Juliana Amaral
“Leonor” is a song of passionate love; a desperate plea for a woman’s heart. The narrator pleads for her attention and affection, begging for her to open up and accept his affections. He is cognizant of her possible reluctance, caring enough to offer his time and be understanding in allowing her the space she may need.
The chorus speaks to the narrator’s overwhelming emotions and their pull towards Leonor- “I’m in love, Feels like too much, I want you so much!” He is aware of the potential heartbreak such exposed vulnerability can bring but is so driven by his desire to connect with her that he seeks it out regardless.
The song expresses a longing for understanding and intimacy. Coming to grips with the risk of loving deeply, the narrator of “Leonor” hopes at last, for a chance at true connection – both with the character of Leonor and with anyone who can find a connection with the song. In the end, it is a song of hope, courage, and resolve in the pursuit of love.
