Página de Ex
Mari Fernandez
Turning the Page on a Past Love
Mari Fernandez's song 'Página de Ex' is a powerful anthem of moving on from a past relationship. The lyrics tell the story of someone who has decisively ended a chapter with an ex-lover. The song begins with the protagonist receiving a message from their ex, but they are uninterested in rekindling any old flames. The line 'Você é a página de ex que eu não só virei, como eu já rasguei' (You are the page of an ex that I not only turned, but I already tore) vividly illustrates the finality of their decision to move on.
The song delves into the emotional aftermath of a breakup, highlighting the protagonist's newfound independence and the ex's regret. The imagery of the protagonist's 'boca solteira' (single mouth) being a source of terror for the ex, especially when seen through social media stories, underscores the ex's lingering feelings and jealousy. The protagonist's vivid descriptions of being intimate with someone new serve as a stark contrast to the past relationship, emphasizing their liberation and the ex's loss.
Mari Fernandez's delivery of the lyrics adds an extra layer of defiance and empowerment. The repetition of 'Toma o que tu procurou' (Take what you were looking for) serves as a reminder to the ex that their actions led to this outcome. The song captures the essence of moving on with confidence and not looking back, making it a relatable and cathartic experience for anyone who has had to turn the page on a past love.
