Cerca

Leiva's song 'Cerca' delves into the complexities and near misses of a romantic relationship. The lyrics paint a picture of a love that almost succeeded but ultimately fell short. The phrase 'Es una decisión fatal, es el universo' suggests that the relationship's failure was inevitable, almost as if it was written in the stars. This fatalistic view is contrasted with the acknowledgment that 'Las cosas nunca se nos dieron mal,' indicating that the relationship had its good moments, but something was always missing.

The recurring line 'Que cerca estuve de llevarlo bien' emphasizes the theme of proximity to success. The narrator reflects on how close they were to making things work, but circumstances or personal flaws prevented it. The use of 'intenso' to describe himself suggests that his intensity may have been a double-edged sword, contributing both passion and pressure to the relationship. The winter metaphor, 'En este invierno cruel,' adds a layer of emotional coldness and hardship, making the struggle to maintain the relationship even more poignant.

The plea 'No seas estúpida y ven, Volvamos a intentarlo' reveals a desperate desire to try again, to capture the fleeting moments of happiness they once had. The imagery of 'Chispazos en la gran ciudad' and 'La charla sobre la felicidad' evokes the fleeting, almost electric moments of joy and deep conversations that punctuated their time together. However, the line 'La mierda de siempre' brings a stark contrast, highlighting the recurring issues that plagued their relationship. The song ends on a note of longing and unresolved tension, encapsulating the bittersweet nature of love that almost was but never fully realized.
