Ex é sempre ex
Mc Katia
Moving On: Embracing the Present Over the Past
In 'Ex é sempre ex,' Mc Katia delivers a powerful message about self-worth and the importance of moving forward rather than dwelling on past relationships. The song's lyrics revolve around the theme of an ex-partner who is trying to rekindle a relationship that has already ended. Mc Katia firmly asserts her stance, emphasizing that she will not trade her current happiness for a past that did not value her. This sentiment is encapsulated in the repeated line, 'Ex é sempre ex,' which translates to 'An ex is always an ex,' underscoring the finality of her decision.
The lyrics also highlight the ex-partner's regret and realization of their mistakes. Mc Katia points out that while they were together, her ex did not appreciate her, but now that she has moved on, they are desperate to win her back. This dynamic is vividly portrayed in lines like 'me liga toda hora e diz que não me esqueceu' ('calls me all the time and says they haven't forgotten me') and 'agora que estou com outro, olha, chora, implora e baba' ('now that I'm with someone else, they look, cry, beg, and drool'). These lines reflect a common scenario where people often realize the value of what they had only after losing it.
Mc Katia's assertive tone and confident lyrics serve as an anthem for anyone who has ever been in a similar situation. She makes it clear that she has no intention of returning to a relationship that did not serve her well, stating, 'meu nome é Katia Ester e se eu larguei, não tem volta' ('my name is Katia Ester and if I left, there's no going back'). This declaration of self-respect and empowerment resonates with listeners, encouraging them to prioritize their own well-being and happiness over the nostalgia of past relationships.
