REMEDIO

Cris Helia's song 'REMEDIO' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a person grappling with the aftermath of a breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is still haunted by memories of their past relationship, even though almost a year has passed. The protagonist is caught in a web of nostalgia and longing, unable to move on from the love they once shared. This is evident in lines like 'Los recuerdos en la cama no se alejan de mi' (The memories in the bed don't leave me) and 'Sigo sin poder dormir sin tus besos' (I still can't sleep without your kisses), which highlight the depth of their emotional struggle.

The song also touches on the theme of unspoken truths and hidden pain. The protagonist admits to lying about their well-being to their ex's mother, saying 'Yo le digo que voy bien aunque no sea verdad' (I tell her I'm fine even though it's not true). This reveals a layer of pride and the difficulty of admitting vulnerability. The chorus, 'Para mi locura eres el remedio' (For my madness, you are the remedy), encapsulates the central metaphor of the song. The ex-lover is seen as the cure for the protagonist's emotional chaos, emphasizing the idea that their love was a stabilizing force in their life.

Cris Helia's poignant lyrics also explore the complexity of emotions post-breakup, such as jealousy, regret, and the struggle to let go. The line 'Y es que a veces me dan celos pero otras me da igual' (And sometimes I get jealous but other times I don't care) captures the conflicting feelings that often accompany the end of a relationship. The song's repetitive apologies, 'Baby lo siento' (Baby, I'm sorry), underscore a sense of remorse and the desire for reconciliation, even though the relationship has ended. Through 'REMEDIO,' Cris Helia offers a raw and relatable portrayal of heartache, making it a resonant anthem for anyone who has experienced the pain of lost love.
