The Heartache of Moving On: Feid's 'Normal'
Feid's song 'Normal' delves into the emotional turmoil following a breakup, where feelings of longing and betrayal intertwine. The Colombian singer-songwriter, known for his blend of reggaeton and urban music, uses his lyrics to paint a picture of a person struggling to erase memories of a past lover. The opening lines set the stage for a narrative of unreciprocated effort and infidelity, as the protagonist gave their all in the relationship while the other was unfaithful.
The chorus of 'Normal' captures the irony of the ex-partner feeling lonely and inadvertently calling out the protagonist's name, despite being with someone else. Feid suggests that it's 'normal' for the ex to miss him and struggle to find sincerity in their emotions while in another's arms. The repeated mention of 'Cartier' symbolizes material desires, contrasting with the deeper yearning for emotional connection that the ex tries to satisfy by seeking out someone similar to Feid. The nightlife scenes described in the song serve as a backdrop for the ex's attempts to encounter Feid again, highlighting the lingering attachment.
As the song progresses, Feid portrays his own coping mechanisms, engaging with new romantic interests and suggesting a sense of moving on. Yet, there's a hint of bitterness and a desire for the ex to experience the same pain he felt. The use of casual language and urban slang emphasizes the raw and candid emotions involved. 'Normal' is not just a story of heartbreak but also a reflection on the complexities of healing and the common, yet difficult, journey of letting go after love has gone awry.
