Rediscovering Love: A Journey Through Forgotten Emotions
Andrés Cepeda's song "Lo Que Había Olvidado" is a heartfelt exploration of rediscovering love after a period of emotional dormancy. The lyrics convey the protagonist's initial hesitation and fear of opening up again, as he tries to appear normal while grappling with the complexities of love. The song reflects on past heartbreaks and the difficulty of remembering how to love and laugh again. The line "Para enamorarse no hay manual" (There is no manual for falling in love) encapsulates the unpredictable and unteachable nature of love.
As the song progresses, the protagonist experiences a profound emotional awakening. The chorus, with its vivid imagery of flying butterflies and the adrenaline rush of a stolen kiss, captures the exhilarating and overwhelming feelings of falling in love anew. The protagonist realizes that he had forgotten these intense emotions, and the presence of his new love interest brings them all rushing back. The repeated phrase "Lo que había olvidado" (What I had forgotten) emphasizes this rediscovery of passion and joy.
The song also touches on the idea of destiny and past connections, as the protagonist feels a deep, almost otherworldly familiarity with his new love. The lyrics suggest that they have known each other in another life, adding a layer of mystical romance to the narrative. The closing lines, where the protagonist repeatedly affirms that he feels everything with his partner, underscore the completeness and intensity of his emotions. Andrés Cepeda's soulful delivery and the song's melodic structure enhance the emotional depth, making "Lo Que Había Olvidado" a poignant ode to the power of love to heal and rejuvenate the heart.
