Lo Que Nunca Sera

The song "Lo Que Nunca Sera" by La Adictiva, a Mexican band known for their regional Mexican music, particularly in the banda genre, delves into the emotional complexities of a relationship based solely on physical intimacy without the promise of commitment. The lyrics speak from the perspective of someone who is involved in a casual relationship and is addressing their partner, who seems to have developed deeper feelings and desires for a more formal, romantic relationship.

The narrator makes it clear that the arrangement was mutually understood to be nothing more than a physical connection ('era sexo y nada más'). However, as emotions become entangled, the narrator senses their partner's growing attachment and expectations for something more. The song's chorus emphasizes the boundaries of their relationship, stating that what happens in the bedroom should not be confused with making love or building a future together. The narrator expresses a certain level of empathy, acknowledging that it also hurts them not to stay ('A mí también me duele no quedarme más'), but they remain firm in their stance that they cannot fulfill their partner's dreams.

The song's title, 'Lo Que Nunca Sera' (What Will Never Be), encapsulates the central theme of the song: the painful acknowledgment that some relationships have limitations and that not all connections are destined to evolve into something more. It's a candid portrayal of the heartache that can arise when one person's expectations are not aligned with the reality of the situation, and the inevitable conversation that follows when one must confront and manage those unmet desires.
