Song Meaning of “Tatuagem – Ao Vivo” by As Marcianas
Tatuagem is a song released on the album A Todo Vapor (Live Version) by the Brazilian girl group As Marcianas. It is a song about freedom and self-expression, focusing on the idea ofa tattoo as a form of being free and making one’s own mark on the world.
The song starts off with “O que seria de mim? Sem a tatuagem” which translates to ‘What would I be without the tattoo?’. The ‘tattoo’ is seen here as a symbol of alternative identity, and a way to stand out and show one’s individuality. This is further explored in the chorus, where another line reads “Aqui ninguém segue as normas”, meaning ‘Nobody follows the rules here’. This refers to the nature of freedom that tattoos can bring, allowing one to express themselves in a way that is different from the rest.
The song also conveys a message of hope and resilience, with the lines “Eu nunca me rendi, sem medo, Eu tive que provar” which translates to ‘I never gave up, without fear, I had to prove it’. This speaks to the idea of never backing down and always standing by your convictions, no matter what obstacles may come your way.
