“Buquê De Espinhos” paints a vivid picture of a woman finally waking up to the truth about her toxic relationship. In a raw conversation with her own reflection, she notices the tell-tale signs of heartache: smudged makeup, lonely nights, and the heavy silence of a partner who is never really there. The chorus delivers the song’s central lesson in punchy, memorable lines: if love makes you suffer, it is not love at all. Her boyfriend is compared to a bouquet of thorns without flowers—something that looks like affection from afar but only brings pain the closer you get.
By the end, the song turns this moment of self-critique into empowerment. The singer urges listeners not to “shrink themselves” to fit into someone else’s life and reminds them that real love does not need begging or tears. Marília Tavares and Thiago Aquino mix heartfelt sertanejo vocals with relatable storytelling, offering both a catchy tune and a liberating message: throw away that thorny bouquet and choose self-love instead.
