Siempre fuiste mío

Monica Naranjo's song 'Siempre fuiste mío' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a love lost but never forgotten. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person haunted by whispers and memories of a past lover, feeling an overwhelming sense of loss and longing. The opening lines set the tone with the protagonist feeling surrounded by whispers that urge her to surrender to the memories of her lost love. This sense of unease and restlessness is a recurring theme throughout the song, highlighting the emotional struggle of moving on from a significant relationship.

The chorus, with its powerful declaration of 'Mío!' (Mine!), underscores the intensity of the protagonist's feelings. Despite acknowledging that the lover is no longer hers, the protagonist cannot shake the deep connection and the love that once was. The lyrics 'Retomando mi camino sin escudo, sin orgullo' (Retaking my path without a shield, without pride) suggest a journey of vulnerability and self-discovery. The protagonist is stripped of her defenses, facing the harsh reality of her loss and the pain that comes with it. This raw honesty is a testament to the depth of her emotions and the impact of the lost love on her life.

The song also touches on themes of obsession and torment, as the protagonist describes her love as an all-consuming force that drags her down like the sea. The imagery of the sea swallowing her without spitting her out conveys a sense of being trapped and overwhelmed by her emotions. The repeated acknowledgment of losing the lover ('te perdí') and the realization that the lover was her reason for living ('Una razón para vivir') further emphasize the profound impact of this relationship. The song concludes with a poignant reminder that despite the loss, the lover will always be a part of her ('Siempre fuiste mío'), encapsulating the enduring bond and the lasting imprint of a significant love.
