Siempre Eres Tú

Francisca Valenzuela's song 'Siempre Eres Tú' delves deep into the emotional turmoil that accompanies the end of a relationship. The lyrics poignantly capture the feeling of being slowly destroyed by the departure of a loved one. The repetition of 'Esto es lo que se siente' emphasizes the raw, visceral pain of heartbreak, likening it to a slow, agonizing death. The imagery of inhabiting sorrow as if it were a home and the haunting presence of a lover's shadow in the bed underscores the lingering impact of lost love.

The chorus, 'Siempre eres tú el que me quiebra,' highlights the recurring nature of the pain inflicted by the same person. This line suggests a cycle of breaking and leaving, with the lover being the constant source of anguish. The metaphor of being left cold and dying, 'aleja del sol me deja fría y ve morir,' paints a vivid picture of the emotional desolation and the sense of abandonment that follows the end of a relationship.

Valenzuela also explores the paradoxical nature of love, describing it as strange when it allows for both love and hate, closeness and forgetfulness. This duality is a common theme in relationships, where intense emotions can coexist and fluctuate. The line 'Qué raro es el amor cuando permite quererse y odiarse' encapsulates this complexity, reflecting on how love can be both nurturing and destructive. Through her evocative lyrics and melancholic tone, Valenzuela captures the essence of heartbreak and the enduring impact of a significant relationship.
