Navigating Heartbreak and Longing in 'Que Va A Ser De Mi'
Ismael Serrano's song 'Que Va A Ser De Mi' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and existential questions that arise after a significant romantic relationship ends. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the aftermath of a breakup, filled with a mix of regret, longing, and a sense of loss. The recurring question, 'Que va a ser de mi' (What will become of me), underscores the uncertainty and despair that often accompany the end of a meaningful relationship.
The song's protagonist admits to filling their life with lies and ghosts of the past, indicating a struggle to move on and a tendency to dwell on memories. The mention of counting days and streets that separate them from their former lover highlights the obsessive nature of their longing. The protagonist's resentment towards happy couples and their calm hatred towards their ex's laughter and their own words during the breakup reveal the depth of their emotional pain.
Serrano's lyrics also explore the protagonist's attempts to cope with the breakup through self-destructive behaviors, such as insulting beautiful women, crashing parties uninvited, and seeking solace in alcohol. Despite these efforts, the protagonist remains tethered to their past, continuing to visit places they once frequented with their ex and writing verses and letters they never had the chance to share. The song captures the paradox of trying to forget while being unable to let go, ultimately questioning what the future holds in the shadow of a lost love.
