Berlin (part. Zion & Lennox)

Maria Becerra's song "Berlin" featuring Zion & Lennox is a poignant exploration of longing and the relentless search for a lost love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is desperately trying to find a person they shared a fleeting but impactful night with. The song opens with a sense of regret and realization that the night they thought was a victory turned out to be just a one-time encounter. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the protagonist is consumed by the need to find this person again.

The chorus emphasizes the global scale of this search, mentioning cities like LA, New York, Berlin, and Madrid. This not only highlights the vastness of the search but also the universality of the feeling of longing. The lyrics suggest that the protagonist is lost in a haze, both literally and metaphorically, as they navigate through smoke and crowds, unable to find their lost love. The mention of various cities and bars adds a cosmopolitan flair to the song, making the search feel both grand and futile at the same time.

The song also delves into the emotional turmoil of the search. The protagonist is aware that the relationship was never meant to last, as indicated by lines like "Esto no fue un hasta luego, fue una repetida" (This wasn't a goodbye, it was a repeat). Despite this, they can't help but feel addicted to the memory of that night. The lyrics also touch on themes of regret and unintentional harm, as the protagonist admits to stealing the other person's heart without meaning to. The song ends on a note of resignation, acknowledging that the search may be in vain but unable to let go of the hope of finding that lost love.
