Hielo Remix (feat. Jhay Cortez & Dalex)

Eladio Carrion's song "Hielo Remix" featuring Jhay Cortez and Dalex delves into the emotional aftermath of a failed relationship. The recurring metaphor of kisses being as cold as ice symbolizes the emotional distance and lack of warmth from a former lover. This imagery is reinforced by the repeated lines, "Tus besos son frío’ como hielo," which translates to "Your kisses are cold like ice." The coldness of the kisses serves as a stark contrast to the warmth and passion that once existed, highlighting the pain and longing that the protagonist feels.

The lyrics also explore themes of regret and yearning. The protagonist is haunted by memories of the past, as indicated by lines like "Baby, to’ los días me paso pensándote" (Baby, every day I spend thinking about you) and "por ti me desvelo" (I stay awake for you). This constant preoccupation with the lost love suggests a deep emotional wound that has yet to heal. The use of cold imagery extends beyond kisses to other aspects of life, such as the bed being as cold as Alaska, further emphasizing the pervasive sense of loneliness and desolation.

Cultural references add another layer of meaning to the song. The mention of New York City and its cold weather, as well as illegal activities like graffiti, paint a picture of a gritty, urban environment. The line "Ilegal como grafiti" (Illegal like graffiti) suggests that the love was rebellious and perhaps frowned upon by society. Additionally, the reference to Ricky, likely Ricky Martin, who famously sang "I won't give up on you," underscores the protagonist's unwillingness to let go of the past. The song's blend of personal anguish, cultural touchstones, and vivid metaphors creates a poignant narrative of love lost and the struggle to move on.
