Nunca Más

The song 'Nunca Más' by Amadeüs, a project led by Spanish musician Isra Ramos, delves into the depths of heartache and the struggle to move on from a past love. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is tormented by memories and unable to let go, despite the pain it causes. The repeated phrase 'Ay de aquél...' which translates to 'Woe to him...' sets a tone of lamentation and sorrow, as the protagonist reflects on the agony of clinging to a love that burns.

The imagery of being trapped in the remnants of a relationship ('Entre barro y escombros') suggests a sense of being stuck amidst the ruins of what once was. The song's protagonist expresses a deep conflict between the desire to extinguish the lingering feelings ('quiero apagarla') and the fear that forgetting would be even more painful ('el olvidar aún me duele más'). This internal battle is a common theme in songs about lost love, where the heart and mind are at odds over letting go.

Symbolism is rich throughout the song, with references to a 'black crow' and a 'demon from the sky,' which could represent messengers or forces that the protagonist wishes to employ in order to reconnect with the lost love or to find closure. The crow is tasked with carrying the heart and voice to the beloved, signifying a desperate attempt to bridge the distance and break through the silence. The repeated declaration 'Nunca Más' ('Never Again') is both a cry of defiance against surrendering to despair and a vow to never let oneself be so vulnerable again.
