Empty (feat. Fianru)

C.R.O's song "Empty (feat. Fianru)" delves into the fast-paced nature of modern life and the emotional void that often accompanies it. The repeated line, "La vida pasa rápido, lo sé" (Life goes by fast, I know), sets the tone for the song, highlighting the fleeting nature of time. The artist contrasts this rapid passage of time with a desire to slow down, as seen in the lines "Por eso quiero conducir lento" (That's why I want to drive slow) and "Por eso quiero fumar lento" (That's why I want to smoke slow). This juxtaposition suggests a longing for a more meaningful and deliberate existence amidst the rush of daily life.

The recurring phrase "Nena, estás vacía por dentro" (Girl, you're empty inside) serves as a poignant metaphor for emotional emptiness and disconnection. The artist observes that material possessions and external appearances fail to fill this void, as indicated by the lines "Ya no te gusta lo que te compré" (You no longer like what I bought you). This sentiment is further emphasized by the portrayal of superficial relationships and societal expectations, where people are more concerned with appearances and status than genuine connections.

C.R.O also touches on the pressures and distractions of modern life, such as constant phone calls and the pursuit of material wealth. The line "Ese teléfono que suena todo el día" (That phone that rings all day) questions whether this is the life one truly desires. The artist reflects on his own journey, acknowledging the blurred lines between reality and fantasy, and the struggle to find meaning and purpose. The song ultimately serves as a critique of a society that prioritizes superficial success over emotional fulfillment, urging listeners to seek deeper connections and a more intentional way of living.
