Querida

In 'Querida,' Mar Rendón delivers a poignant message about the cyclical nature of toxic relationships and the struggle to break free from them. The song opens with the protagonist finding herself back where she started, having promised not to fall for the same mistakes again, yet stumbling over the same stone. This metaphor of tripping over the same stone highlights the repetitive and self-destructive patterns that often characterize unhealthy relationships.

The lyrics delve into the emotional manipulation and false hope that keep the protagonist ensnared. Despite knowing that her partner's intentions are not genuine, she allows herself to be deceived by his sweet talk, which temporarily rekindles her illusions. The song captures the internal conflict of knowing the truth but being unable to accept it, a common experience for many who find themselves in similar situations. The line 'Son esas ganas las que engañan al alma' (It's those desires that deceive the soul) encapsulates this struggle, emphasizing how powerful emotions can cloud judgment.

Mar Rendón's plea for self-respect is clear in the chorus, urging the protagonist to recognize her worth and treat herself better. The repeated advice to 'trátate mejor' (treat yourself better) serves as a wake-up call, encouraging her to break free from the cycle of emotional dependency and self-sabotage. The song's climax, with the repeated exhortation to 'date cuenta' (realize), underscores the urgency of this message. Rendón's powerful vocals and emotive delivery add depth to the lyrics, making 'Querida' not just a song, but a heartfelt appeal for self-awareness and empowerment.
