Vuelve

Ivan Cornejo's song 'Vuelve' is a poignant exploration of heartbreak and longing. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the aftermath of a painful breakup. The opening lines, 'Tú muy mal / Eso de cortar conmigo fue fatal,' set the tone for the song, expressing the deep sense of loss and the emotional turmoil that follows. The metaphor of being left 'como un traste sin lavar' (like an unwashed dish) underscores the feeling of abandonment and neglect, highlighting the raw vulnerability of the narrator.

The recurring plea for the ex-lover to return, 'Vuelve,' is a central theme in the song. This repetition emphasizes the desperation and the depth of the narrator's emotional dependence on their former partner. The lyrics, 'Que sin ti la depre' siempre vuelve,' reveal how the absence of the loved one triggers a return of depression, suggesting that their presence was a source of emotional stability. The comparison to a dog eagerly awaiting its owner's return, 'Me acelero como un perro al verte llegar,' adds a layer of innocence and pure, unfiltered emotion to the narrative.

Cornejo also delves into the existential impact of the breakup, questioning the authenticity of his happiness and reality itself. The line, 'Todo es artificial hasta mi felicidad / Si esto es una matrix, ¿dónde encuentro mi alma?' reflects a deep sense of disillusionment and a search for meaning in a world that feels increasingly hollow without the loved one. The song concludes with a poignant acknowledgment that no one else can replace the ex-lover, 'Te he tratado de encontrar en alguien más, y la verdad / Nadie me lo hace como tú el cereal,' encapsulating the irreplaceable nature of true love and the enduring pain of its loss.
