Egoista

Justin Quiles' song 'Egoista' delves into the emotional aftermath of a relationship that has ended. The lyrics express a mixture of nostalgia, acceptance, and a desire for the ex-partner's happiness, despite the pain of separation. The title 'Egoista,' which translates to 'Selfish' in English, is used ironically as the singer claims not to be selfish by wishing his former lover well in their new life without him.

The song begins with the acknowledgment that the paths of the two individuals were different and that their incompatibility was a mistake the singer had made. He reflects on the initial beauty of the relationship, reminiscing about the first kiss and the warmth they shared. However, he also recognizes the reality of their situation, where arguments and differences led to their eventual split. The repeated lines 'Y como no soy egoísta, Te deseo que te vaya bien' emphasize the singer's attempt to be magnanimous in his feelings, hoping that his ex-partner finds happiness even if it's not with him.

Throughout the song, Quiles grapples with the lingering questions and unresolved feelings that often accompany a breakup. He wonders about his ex's current situation and whether they have found someone new who can provide the support and love they need. The song's narrative is one of letting go and moving forward, despite the unresolved emotions and the difficulty of seeing a loved one with someone else. The music and Quiles' delivery add to the emotional weight of the lyrics, creating a poignant reflection on love, loss, and personal growth.
