Se Supone (Abrazar La Vida)

Luis Fonsi's 'Se Supone (Abrazar La Vida)' is a poignant ballad that delves into the emotional turmoil of trying to move on from a past relationship. The song's title, which translates to 'It's Supposed' or 'One Would Assume,' sets the stage for a narrative of expectations versus reality in the aftermath of a breakup.

The lyrics describe a person revisiting the home of a former lover, a place where happiness once flourished but now feels foreign. The cold reception and the locked door of the bedroom symbolize the emotional barriers that have been erected since the separation. The protagonist is grappling with the pretense that they are unaffected by the breakup, repeating to themselves and others that they are doing well, despite the internal struggle and pain they are experiencing. The song captures the difficulty of pretending to be fine when in reality, the protagonist is far from over their ex-partner.

The chorus emphasizes the societal expectation to move on quickly after a relationship ends, suggesting that it's better to have separated and that life must go on. However, the protagonist admits to the deep sorrow of assuming they could forget their former love. The final verse, where the protagonist swallows their words and acknowledges the ex-partner's new love, highlights the resignation to their own ongoing pain. The song resonates with anyone who has had to face the disparity between what they are supposed to feel and what they actually feel after a breakup.
