Quiere Volver

Kim Loaiza's song 'Quiere Volver' is a powerful anthem about self-respect and moving on from a toxic relationship. The lyrics tell the story of someone who has been hurt by a past lover who now wants to return. However, the protagonist is resolute in their decision to not let this person back into their life, emphasizing their newfound strength and independence.

The song opens with the idea that everything that leaves eventually comes back, likening the ex-lover to a dog that naturally returns home. This metaphor sets the stage for the recurring theme of unwanted return and the protagonist's firm stance against it. The lyrics 'Tus besos ya no me matan, son balas perdidas' (Your kisses no longer kill me, they are stray bullets) illustrate how the affection that once had a strong impact now holds no power, symbolizing emotional detachment and resilience.

Loaiza uses vivid imagery to describe the healing process, such as 'Me hice sesión de láser pa' borrar tus cicatrices' (I had laser sessions to erase your scars), which signifies the effort put into overcoming past pain. The repeated line 'Las manecillas del reloj nunca van a girar pa'trá'' (The hands of the clock will never turn back) reinforces the idea that time moves forward, and so does the protagonist's heart, leaving no room for the past lover. This song is a celebration of self-worth and the courage to reject what no longer serves one's well-being.

'Quiere Volver' resonates with anyone who has had to make the tough decision to prioritize their own happiness over a toxic relationship. It is a testament to the strength it takes to move on and the empowerment that comes from reclaiming one's life and heart.
