Empowerment and Liberation: The Anthem of Moving On in 'Olvidar' by ANGEL22
In 'Olvidar,' ANGEL22 delivers a powerful message of self-empowerment and liberation from a toxic relationship. The song's protagonist is resolute in her decision to move on, emphasizing that she no longer wants to engage in the emotional arithmetic of adding or subtracting feelings. The lyrics convey a sense of finality and determination as she steps out into the world, ready to forget her past lover and reclaim her independence.
The chorus, with its repetitive and catchy 'ah-ar, ah-ar,' underscores the act of forgetting in the midst of a lively dance floor. This setting symbolizes freedom and the joy of letting go, as the protagonist dances away her sorrows. The line 'Piénsalo doble antes de llamar' serves as a warning to her ex, indicating that she is done with the relationship and he should think twice before trying to reconnect. The use of Spanglish throughout the song adds a modern and relatable touch, reflecting the artist's cultural background and the global nature of contemporary pop music.
ANGEL22's lyrics also highlight themes of self-worth and resilience. Despite having a 'corazón lesionado' (wounded heart), the protagonist asserts that she has moved on and is no longer affected by her ex's actions. The imagery of wearing a little black dress to a metaphorical funeral for the relationship signifies her readiness to bury the past and start anew. The song also celebrates female camaraderie and solidarity, as she plans to enjoy the night with her friends, embracing the single life and the freedom it brings. 'Olvidar' is an anthem for anyone who has ever had to let go of a toxic relationship and find strength in themselves and their community.
