The Struggle of Letting Go: Felix Cartal's 'idwtwya'

Felix Cartal's song 'idwtwya' delves into the emotional turmoil of trying to move on from a past relationship. The repetitive chorus, 'I don't want to want you anymore,' encapsulates the internal conflict of someone who is desperately trying to let go of their feelings for an ex-lover. This repetition emphasizes the struggle and the almost obsessive nature of these lingering emotions, highlighting how difficult it can be to sever emotional ties even when one is determined to do so.

The verses provide a deeper look into the protagonist's state of mind. Lines like 'Heading over days, I'm not thinking straight' and 'Racing thoughts collide on these lonely nights' paint a vivid picture of someone who is mentally and emotionally exhausted. The imagery of 'your voice cuts like a knife' suggests that the memories and words of the past relationship are still very much alive and painful, making the process of moving on even more challenging. The protagonist is caught in a loop of regret and longing, unable to 'pause and rewind' to a time when things were better.

Felix Cartal, known for his electronic music style, uses a blend of melancholic melodies and rhythmic beats to enhance the emotional weight of the lyrics. The song's production mirrors the chaotic and repetitive nature of the thoughts described in the lyrics, creating a cohesive and immersive experience for the listener. 'idwtwya' is a poignant exploration of the difficulty of letting go, resonating with anyone who has struggled to move past a significant relationship.
