Asi Debe Ser
Luis Fonsi
Navigating Heartbreak and Acceptance in 'Asi Debe Ser'
Luis Fonsi's song 'Asi Debe Ser' delves into the emotional complexities of ending a relationship, even when love is still present. The lyrics express a poignant sense of departure, not due to a lack of love, but because of an inevitable need to move on. The opening lines, 'Si te dejo no es porque no sienta amor,' set the tone for a narrative where the protagonist must leave without providing a clear reason, highlighting the often inexplicable nature of such decisions. This departure is likened to the natural progression of days, emphasizing that some things are beyond control and must simply be accepted.
The chorus reinforces this theme of acceptance and self-rescue. The lines 'Desde que hoy, aquí estoy pero no estoy a tu lado' and 'Y aquí voy, rescatándome dejando el pasado' illustrate the struggle of being physically present but emotionally detached, and the journey of moving forward while leaving the past behind. The metaphor of a blind person guided by the sky ('Como un ciego que va, sintiendo como el cielo va guiando sus pies') suggests a reliance on faith and intuition to navigate through the pain and uncertainty of the situation.
Fonsi also touches on the idea that life and love are guided by forces beyond our control. The lyrics 'Si la vida me enseñara a vivirla, esta historia entre nosotros ya tendría otro final' reflect a sense of resignation to fate and destiny. The song acknowledges the pain of separation but ultimately conveys that some things are meant to be, encapsulated in the repeated line 'Se que duele pero así debe ser.' This acceptance of life's unpredictable nature and the courage to move forward despite the pain is a central theme of the song.
