Ninguém É de Ninguém
Pitty
The Illusion of Possession in Love
Pitty's song 'Ninguém É de Ninguém' delves into the complexities of romantic relationships, emphasizing the idea that no one truly belongs to anyone else. The lyrics challenge the conventional notion of possession in love, suggesting that while relationships can be beautiful and intense, they are ultimately transient and fluid. The opening lines caution against the rigid expectations of 'walking the line,' highlighting the uncertainty and unpredictability of where relationships may lead.
The metaphor of giving 'half now' and saving 'the rest for later' speaks to the idea of pacing oneself in love, not giving everything away at once. This approach allows for the exploration of the relationship's potential without the pressure of complete surrender. The imagery of the rising sun symbolizes new beginnings and the potential for growth that comes from the 'shock' or spark between two people.
The recurring theme of 'wine as rubber and fire' serves as a powerful metaphor for the dual nature of relationships. Wine, often associated with celebration and intimacy, is described as both soothing ('rubber') and passionate ('fire'). This duality reflects the ability of love to heal old wounds while simultaneously igniting new passions. The repeated assertion that 'no one is of anyone' reinforces the song's central message: love should be free from the constraints of ownership and possessiveness, allowing individuals to burn brightly and independently within the relationship.
