The chorus, 'Nos vamos pegando y se va acabando el oxígeno' (We get closer and the oxygen runs out), uses the metaphor of running out of oxygen to describe the intensity of their physical and emotional connection.

The song captures the essence of a love that is both exhilarating and all-consuming, leaving the listener with a sense of the profound impact such a relationship can have.
