más y menos

Nicole Zignago's song 'más y menos' delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that has ended, yet still lingers in the mind and heart of the protagonist. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the passage of time since the breakup, with the singer counting the days and months since they last had contact. This sense of time passing underscores the lingering pain and unresolved feelings that haunt the protagonist. The repeated questioning of whether the ex-partner thinks about her highlights the one-sided nature of her lingering attachment.

The song also explores the theme of unreciprocated love and the realization that the protagonist's feelings were not fully returned. The lines 'Porque no puedo pedirle más a alguien que me da menos' (Because I can't ask for more from someone who gives me less) encapsulate this sentiment. The protagonist acknowledges that despite her deep love and the emotional cost of the relationship, her ex-partner did not change or reciprocate her feelings. This realization is both painful and empowering, as she decides not to return to a place where she will be hurt again.

Additionally, the song touches on the idea of seeking validation and love in the wrong places. The protagonist is certain that her ex-partner looks for her in the arms of another, yet she knows that this new relationship will not fulfill him. This insight adds a layer of complexity to the song, as it reflects on the cyclical nature of seeking love and the difficulty of moving on from a significant relationship. Nicole Zignago's heartfelt delivery and poignant lyrics make 'más y menos' a powerful exploration of love, loss, and self-worth.
