Cero

Lasso's song 'Cero' delves into the emotional turmoil and sense of loss that follows a significant breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's struggle to adapt to life without their partner. The song opens with the protagonist lamenting how weekends, mornings, and even simple routines like drinking coffee have lost their meaning without their significant other. This sets the stage for a narrative deeply rooted in the pain of separation and the difficulty of moving on.

The chorus of the song repeatedly asks, '¿Y ahora qué, qué, qué voy a hacer?' which translates to 'And now what, what, what am I going to do?' This line encapsulates the protagonist's sense of helplessness and confusion. The repetition of 'cómo' (how) underscores the desperation and the seemingly insurmountable task of starting over. The protagonist is grappling with the challenge of forgetting their ex's name and learning to live without the person who once brought them immense joy, symbolized by the line 'Si me llevaste al cielo, ¿cómo empiezo de cero?' ('If you took me to heaven, how do I start from zero?').

Throughout the song, Lasso uses everyday objects and routines to highlight the depth of the protagonist's loss. Items like a tie, a charger, and a blue sweater become symbols of the relationship that once was. The act of discarding these items signifies the painful process of letting go. The song's melancholic tone is further emphasized by the recurring theme of coldness and the absence of warmth, metaphorically representing the emotional void left by the partner's departure. Lasso's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery make 'Cero' a powerful exploration of heartbreak and the daunting task of rebuilding one's life from scratch.
