Não Sou Ex de Ninguém (part. Thiago Aquino)
Márcia Fellipe
Breaking Free from a Toxic Past
Márcia Fellipe's song "Não Sou Ex de Ninguém," featuring Thiago Aquino, is a powerful anthem of self-respect and moving on from a toxic relationship. The lyrics convey a strong sense of regret and disillusionment with a past lover. The opening lines, "Tá com saudade de mim, Volta pro passado," suggest that the ex-partner is longing for a return to the past, but the singer firmly rejects this notion, indicating that the relationship is over and she has no desire to revisit it. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is filled with a mix of bitterness and empowerment.
The repeated refrain, "Eu não sou ex de ninguém, Se acabou nem te conheço," translates to "I am not anyone's ex, if it's over, I don't even know you." This line is a bold declaration of independence and self-worth. The singer refuses to be defined by a failed relationship, emphasizing that she deserves better than to be labeled as someone's ex. The phrase "Maldita hora que eu te dei meu coração" (Cursed be the hour I gave you my heart) further underscores the deep regret and emotional pain caused by the relationship.
The song also touches on themes of pride and self-preservation. The line "Meu orgulho tá ferido, De amar errado" (My pride is hurt, from loving wrong) reveals the internal conflict and the struggle to maintain dignity after a painful breakup. Despite the hurt, the singer wishes her ex "tudo de bom ao contrário" (all the best, but the opposite), a sarcastic way of saying she wishes them ill. This mix of emotions—regret, anger, and a desire for self-respect—makes the song relatable to anyone who has experienced a toxic relationship and emerged stronger on the other side.
