Meu Ego (feat. Deedz B)

In 'Meu Ego,' Deejay Telio, featuring Deedz B, delves into the complex interplay between envy, self-perception, and motivation. The song's repetitive chorus, 'Eu não tou a te ver / Porque eu finjo que tou cego / A tua raiva tá a fazer / Tá a fazer aumentar o meu ego,' translates to 'I don't see you / Because I pretend to be blind / Your anger is making / It's making my ego grow.' This suggests a deliberate ignorance of the negativity directed towards the artist, which paradoxically serves to boost his self-esteem and drive.

The lyrics highlight a sense of resilience and self-assuredness. Deejay Telio portrays himself as someone who thrives on the envy and criticism of others. By stating, 'Não paras de pensar em mim / Já nem consegues disfarçar / Vais ter que aguentar / Assim tua raiva tá a me motivar,' which means 'You can't stop thinking about me / You can't even hide it / You'll have to endure it / Your anger is motivating me,' he emphasizes how the negativity he receives only fuels his ambition and success. This reflects a broader theme of turning adversity into strength, a common motif in many artistic expressions.

Moreover, the song touches on the superficiality and judgment prevalent in society. Lines like 'Falas bué dos outros tipo que não tens vida / Olha só para ti, armado em bom da fita,' meaning 'You talk a lot about others as if you have no life / Look at yourself, acting like the star,' criticize those who focus on others' lives instead of their own. This critique is not just a personal retort but a commentary on societal behavior, urging listeners to focus on their own growth rather than tearing others down.

'Eu te preciso assim na minha life,' or 'I need you like this in my life,' repeated throughout the song, underscores the paradoxical relationship between the artist and his detractors. Their negativity is not just a source of irritation but a necessary element that propels him forward, making 'Meu Ego' a powerful anthem of self-empowerment and resilience.
