Te Borro Tomando (feat. Jairo Vera)

The song "Te Borro Tomando (feat. Jairo Vera)" by Forest is a candid portrayal of heartbreak and the subsequent attempts to move on from a failed relationship. The lyrics express the singer's initial desire to be intimately connected with their partner, even to the point of wanting to get their initials tattooed. However, this desire turns to disdain as the relationship falls apart, leading to the refrain 'Mejor te borro tomando,' which translates to 'I better erase you by drinking.' The act of drinking here is used as a metaphor for trying to forget someone and numb the pain of the breakup.

The song also touches on the theme of disillusionment. The singer believed that the relationship was meant to last, but it turned out to be fleeting. The lyrics convey a sense of betrayal and disappointment, as the partner did not live up to the expectations set for the relationship. The singer tries to cope with the heartache by going out, partying, and being with other people, but there's an underlying acknowledgment that these actions are just a facade to mask the true feelings of loss and sadness.

Culturally, the song reflects a modern approach to dealing with breakups, where social media and nightlife play significant roles. The mention of 'facturando' (making money) and being with a new person who respects the singer's lifestyle suggests a desire to project an image of success and recovery, even if it's not entirely genuine. The reference to Alexis leaving Arsenal serves as a metaphor for a significant and disappointing change, further emphasizing the theme of moving on from something once cherished but ultimately lost.
