Mirando Atrás

In 'Mirando Atrás,' OBK delves into themes of regret, longing, and the desire for redemption. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person reflecting on past mistakes and the impact those mistakes have had on a significant relationship. The opening lines, 'Ayer rompí tu tranquilidad. Ayer sembré viento y tempestad,' set the tone for the song, indicating a moment of self-awareness and acknowledgment of the turmoil caused by the speaker's actions. This sense of regret is further emphasized by the admission of living in 'oscuridad' without the presence of the loved one.

The chorus, 'Mirando atrás. Queriendo hablar. Aunque no estés. Te quiero dar, serenidad. Para volver,' reveals a deep yearning to communicate and make amends, even though the person is no longer present. The repetition of these lines underscores the speaker's persistent hope for reconciliation and the desire to bring peace to the relationship. The use of 'serenidad' suggests a longing to restore calm and stability, contrasting with the earlier chaos and 'tempestad.'

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of self-improvement and growth. Lines like 'No supe ver tu fragilidad. No supe ser tú mejor verdad. hoy quiero ser más de lo que ves. Hoy quiero ser tú realidad' highlight the speaker's realization of their shortcomings and their commitment to becoming a better person. This introspective journey is a central element of the song, as the speaker looks back ('Mirando atrás') and strives to move forward with a renewed sense of purpose and understanding.

OBK's musical style, characterized by its electronic beats and emotive melodies, complements the introspective and emotional nature of the lyrics. The combination of heartfelt words and evocative music creates a powerful and relatable narrative about love, loss, and the hope for redemption.
