Aún Me Amas
Beret
The Lingering Pain of Unrequited Love
Beret's song "Aún Me Amas" delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a one-sided and unfulfilling relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has lost its warmth and sincerity, leaving behind only coldness and pain. The repeated question, "Aún me amas" (Do you still love me?), underscores the singer's doubt and disillusionment. He feels that despite giving his all, he receives nothing in return, and the embrace of his partner no longer brings comfort or healing. This sense of emotional neglect is poignantly captured in the line, "Noto que me abrazas y no me sanas" (I notice that you hug me and you don't heal me).
The song also explores the internal conflict and transformation that the singer undergoes. He acknowledges that he has become something he despises, possibly due to the toxic nature of the relationship. The metaphor of "hielo en mi mirada" (ice in my gaze) suggests that the warmth and love he once felt have been replaced by coldness and detachment. The lyrics also touch on the futility of trying to fix something that is fundamentally broken, as seen in the line, "Queriendo prender fuego sobre pólvora mojada" (Trying to light a fire on wet gunpowder).
Beret's poignant lyrics also reflect on the missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential of the relationship. The repeated phrase "al final" (in the end) serves as a somber reminder of the moments and experiences that were lost. The singer laments the fact that despite their efforts, they were unable to overcome their fears and insecurities. The imagery of "cristal que se clava" (glass that pierces) symbolizes the sharp and lingering pain of their failed attempts to make the relationship work. Ultimately, the song is a heartfelt expression of the sorrow and regret that come with realizing that love alone is not enough to sustain a relationship.
