Sol Cuídate

In 'Sol Cuídate,' me llamo (Sebastián) delves into the complexities of personal change, nostalgia, and the subtle pain of growing apart from someone once close. The song opens with a vivid image of a friend arriving on a bicycle, symbolizing their newfound health-conscious lifestyle. In contrast, the narrator feels left behind, physically and emotionally, as they reflect on their own weight gain and the friend's casual advice to 'take care.' This advice, once unnecessary in their shared past of carefree indulgence, now feels like a painful reminder of their diverging paths.

The chorus, with its repetitive 'como, como,' serves as a metaphor for the struggle to adapt to new identities and realities. The narrator compares this change to a 'veneno que enfrió' (poison that cooled) their once vibrant and rebellious connection. The mention of simple, comforting foods like 'palta con pan' (avocado with bread) and 'flan con manjar' (flan with caramel) underscores a longing for the simplicity and warmth of their past relationship. These foods symbolize the comfort and familiarity that the narrator misses, contrasting sharply with the current state of their friendship.

The song's emotional core lies in the repeated line, 'se suponía que eso lo harías tú' (you were supposed to do that). This line reveals a deep sense of betrayal and disappointment, as the narrator feels that the friend was supposed to be the one to take care of them, not the other way around. The final lines poignantly capture the narrator's realization that gaining weight didn't seem so bad when the friend was still around, highlighting the emotional weight of their absence. 'Sol Cuídate' is a heartfelt exploration of how relationships evolve and the bittersweet nature of change and nostalgia.
