Meu Vício (part. Mari Fernandez)

Michel Teló's song 'Meu Vício,' featuring Mari Fernandez, delves into the complexities of a toxic yet irresistible relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both consuming and destructive. The protagonist acknowledges the detrimental nature of the relationship, referring to the lover's bed as a 'precipice'—a metaphor for the danger and emotional turmoil involved. Despite this awareness, the allure of physical intimacy and the thrill of the forbidden keep pulling them back in, creating a cycle of passion and regret.

The chorus highlights the paradoxical nature of the relationship. The lover professes love without truly meaning it, stripping away not just clothes but also the protagonist's sense of reason. This duality is encapsulated in the line, 'Fala que me ama sem amar' (You say you love me without loving). The protagonist admits to repeatedly making the same mistake, describing it as a 'beautiful error,' which underscores the addictive nature of their connection. This addiction is the 'vício' (vice) that the song's title refers to, suggesting that the protagonist is caught in a loop of desire and self-destruction.

The song's emotional depth is further amplified by the collaboration with Mari Fernandez, whose voice adds another layer of intensity to the narrative. The interplay between the two voices symbolizes the push and pull of the relationship, making the listener feel the tension and passion that define this toxic love affair. Michel Teló, known for his romantic and often playful musical style, uses this song to explore darker, more complex emotional landscapes, offering a raw and honest portrayal of love's more perilous side.
