Cuando No Estas

In 'Cuando No Estás,' Karoll Marquez delves into the profound emotional turmoil experienced when separated from a loved one. The song's lyrics are a heartfelt confession of the singer's vulnerability and dependency on his partner's presence. Marquez begins by admitting that loving someone so deeply makes him uneasy, as it is challenging to detach from the memory of their kisses and the comfort they bring. This sets the stage for the recurring theme of longing and the difficulty of coping with absence.

The chorus emphasizes the intensity of this longing, as Marquez describes how everything around him reminds him of his partner when they are not together. He feels incomplete and unable to function normally, highlighting the transformative power of love. The repetition of the phrase 'Hasta que vuelves' (Until you return) underscores the idea that his life is on hold and his heart stops beating until his partner comes back. This vivid imagery conveys the depth of his emotional dependence and the void left by their absence.

As the song progresses, Marquez paints a picture of his daily life without his partner, describing his afternoons as bitter and the hours as longer. He feels like a fish out of water, struggling to breathe without them. The lyrics also touch on the physical and mental toll of this separation, with Marquez feeling poisoned by idleness and driven to madness. The song's raw honesty and relatable emotions make it a poignant exploration of love's impact on our well-being and the pain of separation.
