Sigo Intentando

Alan Sutton y las Criaturitas de la Ansiedad's song 'Sigo Intentando' is a poignant reflection on the process of coping with the aftermath of a relationship and the struggle to move forward. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and the difficulty of accepting change, particularly when it involves letting go of someone important. The song's title, which translates to 'I Keep Trying,' encapsulates the central theme of perseverance amidst emotional pain.

The verses of 'Sigo Intentando' express a desire to return to a time and place that was shared with a loved one, a place untouched by time or the decay symbolized by 'stains of humidity.' This nostalgia is contrasted with the reality that, like a cloud and a raindrop, the past cannot be reclaimed once it has transformed. The metaphor suggests that experiences and relationships evolve and cannot be reverted to their original state, much like water in the cycle of evaporation and precipitation. The singer acknowledges the pain of this truth but also expresses a wish for the well-being of the former partner, highlighting a selfless aspect of love.

The chorus reinforces the theme of personal struggle and resilience. The repetition of 'Y espero estés muy bien' ('And I hope you're doing well') followed by the admission of personal hardship shows a duality of concern for the other person and acknowledgment of one's own healing process. The song captures the universal experience of heartache and the bittersweet act of hoping for happiness for someone who is no longer part of one's life, while still grappling with the echoes of their absence.
