QEP (feat. David VaPe)

Nostalgia and Heartache in 'QEP' by Miguel Cornejo
Miguel Cornejo's song 'QEP,' featuring David VaPe, delves into the emotional turmoil of a past relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a night filled with drinking and reminiscing about a love that once was. The protagonist is caught in a cycle of nostalgia and regret, yearning for the days when they were together. The repeated references to drinking ('otra peda') highlight the attempt to drown out the pain and memories, but ultimately, the feelings resurface, showing that the distance and time apart have not healed the wounds.
The song's chorus reveals the internal conflict of wanting to reunite with the ex-lover but being held back by pride and the awareness that their story is well-known to others. The line '¿Y qué excusa ponemos para poder vernos?' (What excuse do we make to see each other?) underscores the desperation and the need to find a way to reconnect despite the obstacles. The acknowledgment that 'todos lo saben' (everyone knows) what happened adds a layer of social pressure and judgment, making the situation even more complicated.
Musically, the song blends traditional Mexican sounds with contemporary elements, creating a backdrop that enhances the emotional weight of the lyrics. The collaboration with David VaPe adds depth to the narrative, as both artists convey the shared experience of heartache and longing. The repeated refrain 'Ya lo intenté' (I already tried) signifies the resignation and acceptance that, despite their efforts, rekindling the relationship may not be possible. 'QEP' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the struggle to move on while being haunted by the past.
