Eternal Love and Gratitude in 'Poco Tiempo' by Matisse
In 'Poco Tiempo,' Matisse (MX) crafts a heartfelt ode to love and gratitude. The song's lyrics express a deep sense of appreciation and wonder towards a significant other who brings light and joy into the singer's life.

The singer contrasts their own perceived imperfections with the partner's ability to 'encender luces cada vez que vienes,' highlighting the transformative power of love.
The chorus, 'Y yo te quiero / Y para siempre me parece poco tiempo,' encapsulates the central theme of the song: the desire for an eternal bond.
