Eterna Canción

“Eterna Canción” by OBK is a poignant exploration of heartache, loss, and the struggle to move on from a painful past. The lyrics delve into the raw emotions that accompany a breakup, capturing the essence of a love that once was but is no more. The song opens with the stark reality of truth being so harsh that it becomes suffocating, symbolizing the unbearable weight of the situation. The mention of a cross that can bear two people suggests a shared burden, yet the narrator feels abandoned, having forgotten to call out for their partner.

The imagery of a life as a curtain in a theater without a performance paints a picture of emptiness and purposelessness. The narrator's mind is filled with words that will never be spoken, indicating a sense of regret and unexpressed feelings. The recurring theme of “delirios de amor” (delusions of love) highlights the confusion and pain that prevent the narrator from growing and healing. The plea to be forgotten, echoed in the refrain “Olvídame,” underscores the desire to escape the torment of memories.

The song also touches on the cyclical nature of grief, with the narrator getting lost in memories and unable to find answers to what went wrong. Living off the goodbye that splits the soul in two, the narrator is drowning in sadness, unable to cope with the absence of their loved one. “Eterna Canción” is a hauntingly beautiful reflection on the enduring pain of lost love, capturing the essence of a heart that cannot let go.
