NUNCA PASARÁ
Maria Becerra
The Unattainable Love: A Heart's Confession
Maria Becerra's song "NUNCA PASARÁ" delves into the complexities of unrequited love and the internal struggles of someone who feels incapable of reciprocating romantic feelings. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where one person is deeply affected by the other's presence, yet is unable to fully engage in a romantic connection. The song opens with a sense of fear and hesitation, as the protagonist reflects on a gaze that felt different, more intense, and revealing than before.
The recurring theme in the song is the protagonist's self-awareness of their inability to fall in love. They acknowledge the signs of affection and the potential for a deeper connection, but they also recognize their own limitations. The metaphor of Cupid's arrow missing its mark symbolizes the protagonist's belief that love is not meant for them. They see themselves as someone who avoids love, hiding from it to prevent any emotional harm.
The chorus reinforces this sentiment, with the protagonist repeatedly stating that nothing will ever happen between them and the other person. They emphasize their unsuitability for love, urging the other person to understand and accept this reality. The imagery of navigating a sea they don't know how to sail and the warning to stay away from danger highlights the protagonist's fear of causing pain and the inevitability of a bad ending if they were to pursue a romantic relationship.
Maria Becerra's heartfelt delivery and the poignant lyrics create a powerful narrative about self-doubt, fear of intimacy, and the acceptance of one's emotional limitations. The song resonates with anyone who has ever felt unworthy of love or struggled with the idea of being in a romantic relationship.
