ÚLTIMA VEZ
Becky G
The Lingering Ache of Lost Love
In 'ÚLTIMA VEZ,' Becky G delves into the profound sense of loss and longing that follows a significant romantic relationship. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the aftermath of a love that once brought immense joy and now leaves a void. The imagery of an empty chair and a missing ring symbolizes the absence of a partner, while the protagonist's surroundings, filled with laughter and noise, only amplify their sense of isolation and disconnection from the world around them.
The chorus reveals a deep yearning to experience love again, as it was 'the last time.' This 'last time' is described as a period when time seemed irrelevant, and every moment was filled with meaning and intensity. The protagonist's struggle is evident as they admit to lying to themselves about moving on, while secretly hoping to recapture the feelings of that past love. The comparison of a kiss to a pure drug highlights the addictive and transformative nature of that relationship, making the current reality seem dull and unfulfilling.
Becky G's lyrics also touch on the idea of forgiveness and the possibility of new beginnings. Despite the pain, there is a glimmer of hope that crossing paths with the former lover might change everything. The song encapsulates the universal experience of heartache and the desire to find healing through love once more. It resonates with anyone who has ever felt the sting of a lost love and the bittersweet hope of finding it again.
