Parce

Maluma's song 'Parce' delves into the emotional aftermath of a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of betrayal and heartbreak, as the artist reflects on the pain inflicted by a former lover. The opening lines compare the lover to the earth, suggesting that just as the earth can be grounding, it can also be harsh and unforgiving. This metaphor sets the tone for the rest of the song, where Maluma expresses his feelings of being brought down and affected deeply by the betrayal.

Throughout the song, Maluma oscillates between sorrow and defiance. He reminisces about the love he once gave, symbolized by roses that were not cared for and thus withered, much like the relationship. The repeated refrain 'Gózala, que la vida es una' (Enjoy it, life is one) serves as a reminder to both himself and his ex-lover to live life to the fullest despite the pain. This phrase also hints at a sense of resilience and moving forward, even as he wishes that his ex-lover does not return to him.

The song also touches on themes of self-worth and empowerment. Maluma acknowledges the deceit and manipulation he experienced, referring to his ex as 'media actriz' (half actress) and 'astuta' (cunning). Despite the hurt, he resolves to find someone better, someone loyal and loving. The closing lines, filled with a mix of humor and bravado, underscore his determination to enjoy life and not let the past hold him back. 'Parce' is a raw and honest portrayal of the complexities of love, loss, and the journey towards healing and self-empowerment.
