Después de La Una

“Después de La Una” by Antax is a heartfelt exploration of longing, love, and the emotional turmoil that comes with it. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is deeply infatuated with a woman, willing to go to great lengths to win her affection. The repeated line, “Te voy a buscar después de la una” (I will look for you after one), suggests a sense of urgency and determination, as if the protagonist is willing to wait until the late hours of the night to be with his beloved. This line also evokes a romantic and somewhat desperate atmosphere, highlighting the depth of his feelings.

The protagonist describes the woman as a goddess, someone who is not easily attainable and who has a profound impact on him. The metaphor of taking her to the moon signifies his willingness to do anything for her, to go above and beyond to make her happy. However, there is also a sense of frustration and resignation in the lyrics. The lines “Ella es la razón por la que estoy en off y no estoy on” (She is the reason why I am off and not on) reveal that his unrequited love has left him feeling disconnected and down.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reflects on the pain of separation and the difficulty of moving on. He acknowledges that there are few like her who can alleviate his sorrows, and he feels a sense of emptiness without her. The lyrics “Pasan los días, pasan las horas y aun no encuentro una que me saque lo rockstar” (Days pass, hours pass, and I still haven't found one that takes away the rockstar) convey his ongoing struggle to find someone who can replace her. Despite his efforts to move on, he remains haunted by memories of their time together, and the song ends on a note of unresolved longing and heartache.
