The Heartbreak of Unrequited Love in 'Cien' by LÚA

In 'Cien,' LÚA delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the pain of giving one's all to someone who doesn't reciprocate. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where one partner is deeply invested, while the other remains indifferent. The opening lines reveal the protagonist's initial belief that the relationship was serious and had the potential to grow. However, it becomes clear that their partner was not as committed, often ignoring their feelings and prioritizing themselves.

The chorus poignantly captures the essence of the song, with the protagonist lamenting how they gave their 'cien' (hundred) percent, only to receive less than 'diez' (ten) percent in return. This imbalance in effort and affection is further emphasized by the imagery of days feeling like months as the partner avoids them, creating a sense of prolonged suffering. The protagonist's attempts to get closer are met with increasing distance, highlighting the futility of their efforts.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reflects on their own actions and decisions. They grapple with feelings of regret, questioning whether they should feel bad for trying or for realizing they were merely used. The repeated 'tal vez' (maybe) in the lyrics underscores their internal conflict and self-doubt. Ultimately, 'Cien' is a poignant exploration of the heartbreak and disillusionment that comes with unreciprocated love, capturing the raw emotions of vulnerability, regret, and the painful realization of being taken for granted.
