Las Que Te Escribí y Nunca Te Canté (feat. Ervin River)
Gera MX
The Haunting Nostalgia of Lost Love
The song "Las Que Te Escribí y Nunca Te Canté" by Gera MX, featuring Ervin River, is a poignant reflection on lost love, regret, and the struggle to move on. The lyrics reveal a deep sense of longing and the pain of realizing that fame and lifestyle choices have led to the loss of a significant relationship. The artist uses the metaphor of extinguishing a light to describe his fading vitality and admits to his continued vices, symbolized by 'another drink' that harms him, as he tries to forget the person he misses.
The song delves into the internal conflict between the mind and the heart, where the artist acknowledges the difficulty in letting go of feelings, even when he knows it's necessary. The narrative is one of self-awareness, recognizing the destructive impact of fame and substance abuse on his life and relationships. The reference to being 'off course' and the partner serving as a compass suggests that the relationship provided direction and stability amidst chaos.
Gera MX's lyrics are a raw and honest account of vulnerability, as he recalls moments of support during his lowest points, such as anxiety attacks. The desire to start over, to meet the person anew as if they were strangers, underscores the yearning for a second chance. The song ends with a bittersweet acceptance that, despite changes and attempts to let go, the past continues to hold a powerful sway over the present.
