He Wasn't
Avril Ramona Lavigne, Chantal Kreviazuk
There's not much going on today
I'm really bored, it's getting late
What happened to my Saturday? (Saturday)
Monday's coming, the day I hate, hate
Sit on the bed alone (bed alone)
Staring at the phone
He wasn't what I wanted, what I thought, no
He wouldn't even open up the door
He never made me feel like I was special
He isn't really what I'm looking for
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
This is when I start to bite my nails
And clean my room when all else fails
I think it's time for me to bail (time to bail)
This point of view is getting stale-ale
Sit on the bed alone (bed alone)
Staring at the phone (at the phone)
He wasn't what I wanted, what I thought, no

He never made me feel like I was special
He isn't really what I'm looking for
He wasn't what I wanted, what I thought, no
He wouldn't even open up the door
He never made me feel like I was special
Like I was special, 'cause I was special

Desilusão e Empoderamento em He Wasnt' de Avril Lavigne
A música He Wasn't de Avril Lavigne é um retrato da desilusão amorosa e do processo de reconhecimento do próprio valor diante de um relacionamento insatisfatório. A canção, que faz parte do repertório do segundo álbum de Lavigne, 'Under My Skin', lançado em 2004, reflete a energia rebelde e o espírito jovem que marcaram a carreira da artista no início dos anos 2000. Com uma sonoridade que mistura elementos do pop punk e do rock alternativo, Avril Lavigne canta sobre a libertação de um relacionamento que não atendeu às suas expectativas.
A letra da música começa com uma cena de tédio e frustração, onde a protagonista se vê entediada em um sábado à noite, antecipando o desgosto pelo início da semana. Essa introdução serve como metáfora para a insatisfação mais ampla que ela sente em relação ao parceiro, que não era o que ela queria ou pensava. A repetição da frase 'He wasn't what I wanted, what I thought, no' enfatiza a desconexão entre a realidade e as expectativas da cantora em relação ao seu parceiro. A música aborda a falta de atenção e consideração do parceiro, que não a faz se sentir especial, destacando a importância do reconhecimento e da valorização em um relacionamento.
O refrão e a ponte da música trazem um tom de empoderamento e autoafirmação. As linhas 'Na na na na na - we've all got choices / Na na na na - we've all got voices' sugerem uma tomada de consciência e a capacidade de fazer escolhas e se expressar. A mensagem é clara: é preciso se levantar e fazer barulho, ou seja, tomar uma atitude ativa diante das situações da vida. A música termina com a repetição de 'Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh', que pode ser interpretada como uma expressão de despreocupação e libertação, reforçando a ideia de que, apesar da desilusão, há um caminho de autoconhecimento e fortalecimento pessoal.
