DE CERO (feat. Axel)

Ian Lucas's song 'DE CERO' featuring Axel is a poignant narrative about longing, unrequited love, and the desire for a new beginning. The lyrics convey a deep emotional turmoil experienced by the protagonist who wishes to transform his existing friendship into a romantic relationship. The repeated phrase 'Empecemos de cero' which translates to 'Let's start from zero,' underscores the theme of restarting a relationship, this time with a new perspective and possibly, a romantic angle.

The song opens with the protagonist asking to be reintroduced as if they were strangers, a metaphorical way to erase past dynamics and start anew. This request, though seemingly illogical, is laden with the hope that starting over could lead to a different, more intimate connection. The lines 'Ya no quiero ser tu amigo' (I no longer want to be your friend) reveal the protagonist's frustration and determination to change the status quo, indicating that the friendship as it stands is no longer satisfying.

Throughout the song, the protagonist reflects on the moments they supported their friend through tough times, particularly in her relationship struggles, highlighting a one-sided emotional investment. The lyrics 'Muriéndome por dentro mientras te daba consejos' (Dying inside while I gave you advice) poignantly illustrate the pain of loving someone who sees you only as a friend. The song captures the essence of unspoken love and the courage it takes to confront and change it, hoping for a love that is reciprocated fully.
