Antes de Apagarnos

“Antes de Apagarnos” by Griss Romero, featuring C-Kan, is a poignant exploration of a relationship on the brink of collapse. The song delves into the emotional turmoil and longing that accompany the slow disintegration of love. The lyrics are a heartfelt plea to rekindle the passion and connection that once burned brightly between the two lovers. The song opens with a reflective monologue by C-Kan, setting a somber tone as he contemplates the possibility of never seeing his partner again. This sets the stage for Griss Romero’s introspective verses, where she questions how they reached a point of causing each other so much pain and expresses a desire to turn back time to make things right.

The metaphor of love fading slowly, like a gentle slope rather than a free fall, captures the gradual erosion of their bond. The sense of longing is palpable as both artists express feelings of missing each other despite being physically close. This paradox highlights the emotional distance that has grown between them. The recurring plea to “Mírame” (Look at me) underscores the desperation to reconnect and revive the love that once felt invincible. The imagery of setting snow on fire symbolizes the intensity of their past passion, contrasting sharply with their current state of emotional numbness.

C-Kan’s verse adds another layer of complexity, as he grapples with the memories of their shared dreams and the pain of their love turning toxic. His struggle to let go and the act of erasing and then restoring their photos reflect the internal conflict of wanting to move on while still clinging to the past. The song’s chorus, sung by both artists, is a powerful reminder of their shared desire to feel love’s warmth again before it completely fades away. The repetition of waiting for their love to revive emphasizes the hope and despair intertwined in their journey. “Antes de Apagarnos” is a raw and emotional portrayal of love’s fragility and the human yearning for connection and redemption.
