Lo Que Me Hacía Bien

In 'Lo Que Me Hacía Bien,' LOBEL delves into the emotional turmoil of losing oneself in the pursuit of success. The song's lyrics poignantly capture the essence of regret and the realization of what truly matters in life. The repetition of 'Tuve tu amor, lo tuve, lo tuve' underscores the sense of loss and the acknowledgment of having once possessed something precious, only to let it slip away due to misplaced priorities.

The song's narrative revolves around the protagonist's obsession with achieving success, symbolized by the 'éxito' they were chasing. This relentless pursuit led them to neglect the 'detalle super importante'—the small, significant things that brought them happiness. The metaphor of letting a flower die ('Tuve la flor, la tuve, la tuve / Pero solo la deje morir') further emphasizes the theme of neglect and the consequences of not nurturing what is truly valuable.

LOBEL's lyrics also highlight the passage of time and the protagonist's growing awareness of their lost present. The lines 'Y se me fue la mañana, pensando en la noche / Se fue la semana, pensando en el fin de mes' illustrate how living in anticipation of the future can lead to missing out on the present. This reflection on time and lost moments serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of being present and cherishing what we have before it's too late.

'Lo Que Me Hacía Bien' is a heartfelt exploration of the human tendency to prioritize future success over present happiness. LOBEL's introspective lyrics and emotive delivery make this song a poignant reminder to value the present and the simple joys that make life meaningful.
