Viernes 13 III

Alex Ponce's 'Viernes 13 III' is a poignant ballad that delves into the depths of heartbreak and the fear of losing one's identity in the absence of a loved one. The lyrics express the artist's introspection and uncertainty about who he will become without his significant other. The song is not just about dependency, but rather the recognition of how deeply someone can become ingrained in one's sense of self.

The metaphorical language used in the song, such as being left blind or without hands, illustrates the crippling effect of the loved one's departure. These metaphors convey the idea that life loses its meaning and functionality without the presence of the person he loves. The eyes and hands, essential for experiencing the world, become useless if they can't perceive or touch the beloved. This hyperbolic expression of loss emphasizes the depth of the emotional connection and the void that will be left behind.

The song also touches on the struggle to move on, as the artist grapples with the remnants of the relationship that linger in everyday life, such as shared songs and TV shows. The difficulty in answering the simple question, 'How are you?' with 'I'm fine,' when one is far from it, highlights the profound impact of the breakup. The repeated lines about the last time he embraced his partner's soul underscore the cherished memories and the realization of their significance only after they have become part of the past.
