Tu Olvido

Duelo's song 'Tu Olvido' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and lingering pain of a love lost. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is struggling to move on from a past relationship. The protagonist admits to the difficulty of pretending that they are over their former lover, revealing the heavy burden of this lie. The phrase 'cada vez me pesa más esta mentira' (each time this lie weighs more on me) encapsulates the growing strain of maintaining a facade of indifference while internally grappling with intense longing and sorrow.

The song also explores the theme of hope and the fear of finality. The protagonist makes plans for a potential reunion, clinging to the possibility that their former lover might return. This is evident in the lines 'hago planes por si alguna vez tu vuelves' (I make plans in case you ever come back). This hope is juxtaposed with the stark reality of their current state, where they are 'caminando entre el silencio' (walking in silence) and 'buscando entre la gente tu mirada' (searching among the people for your gaze), highlighting their sense of loss and disorientation.

The chorus, with its repetition of 'yo vivo' (I live), underscores the protagonist's existence in a state of emotional limbo. They are 'abrazándome a lo poco que me queda de tu olvido' (clinging to the little that remains of your forgetfulness), indicating that even the remnants of their past relationship are a source of solace. However, this is coupled with the 'estúpida esperanza de tenerte' (stupid hope of having you) and the 'miedo, tanto miedo de saber que no vendrás' (fear, so much fear of knowing that you won't come), which poignantly captures the duality of hope and despair that defines their experience. 'Tu Olvido' is a powerful exploration of the enduring impact of lost love and the complex emotions that accompany it.
