OXIGENO

In 'OXIGENO,' Obie Bermudez poignantly captures the gradual decline of a once-vibrant relationship. The song's lyrics reflect a sense of nostalgia and loss, as the couple realizes they are no longer the same people who fell in love. Bermudez uses the metaphor of oxygen to symbolize the essential elements that sustain love. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that these elements have been depleted, leading to the relationship's suffocation.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of emotional distance and disconnection. The couple, once deeply in love, now finds themselves walking together like strangers, barely touching or speaking. This imagery underscores the emotional void that has grown between them. The line 'Siento que se apaga el tiempo y que no alcanza el aire, estado de emergencia' (I feel like time is running out and there's not enough air, state of emergency) highlights the urgency and desperation of their situation. The relationship is in a critical state, and both parties are aware of it, yet they seem powerless to change it.

Bermudez also touches on themes of cowardice and pretense. Both individuals are depicted as pretending to be happy while being far apart, both physically and emotionally. The repeated refrain 'Que el amor se fue porque ya le quitamos el oxígeno' (The love is gone because we took away its oxygen) serves as a somber reminder that love requires constant nurturing. Without it, even the strongest bonds can wither away. The song is a heartfelt exploration of how love can fade when the essential elements that sustain it are neglected.
