Nunca fui tu amor

La Rue Morgue's song "Nunca fui tu amor" delves into the painful realization of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where one person believed they were invited into another's life with genuine affection, only to discover that they were never truly loved. The opening lines, "Me invitaste a tu vida, sin preocupación," suggest an initial sense of welcome and ease, but this is quickly overshadowed by the recurring refrain, "La verdad es que nunca, nunca fui tu amor," which reveals the harsh truth that the love was never reciprocated.

The song's narrative continues with promises that were never fulfilled, such as calling and visiting Con Con, a coastal city in Chile. These unkept promises symbolize the superficial nature of the relationship. The line, "Me abriste una puerta, no tu corazón," poignantly captures the essence of the emotional distance, where the person was given access to the other's life but not to their true feelings. The repeated deception is further emphasized by the line, "Tu mirada engañaba, perdida en seducción," indicating that the other person's gaze was misleading, filled with seduction but devoid of genuine emotion.

As the song progresses, the sense of hopelessness becomes more pronounced. The repeated acknowledgment that "nada tiene solución" (nothing has a solution) underscores the despair and resignation felt by the narrator. The closing lines, "Después de un tiempo, sigues sin mi amor. Después de un tiempo, sigo sin tu amor," reflect the enduring impact of this unrequited love, highlighting the ongoing emotional void experienced by both parties. La Rue Morgue's poignant lyrics and melancholic melody combine to create a powerful exploration of love's illusions and the heartache of unmet expectations.
