Ahora

In 'Ahora,' Matisse delves into the raw and painful emotions that accompany the end of a significant relationship. The song begins with the poignant realization that the other person left without a word, leaving the narrator in a state of confusion and heartache. The lyrics, 'Te fuiste sin decirme nada / Se te escondieron las palabras,' capture the abruptness and the lack of closure that often accompanies such departures. This sets the stage for the narrator's introspection and the quest for understanding what went wrong.

The chorus of the song is a powerful expression of the narrator's despair and sense of loss. The repeated question, 'Ahora que haré con mi corazón,' highlights the deep emotional void left by the absence of the loved one. The heart, which once beat in response to the beloved's voice, now struggles to find a reason to continue. This metaphor of the heart as a symbol of life and love underscores the depth of the narrator's grief and the difficulty of moving forward.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of seeking answers and grappling with the pain of unreciprocated love. The lines, 'Si llorar por ti es inevitable / Y jamás voy a recuperarte,' reflect the inevitability of sorrow and the finality of the loss. The narrator's plea for guidance on how to cope with the lingering pain, 'Dímelo por favor, dime que es lo que haré / Sin tu amor,' encapsulates the universal struggle of dealing with heartbreak. Matisse's emotive delivery and the melancholic melody further amplify the song's themes of longing and sorrow, making 'Ahora' a poignant exploration of love and loss.
