Correr y No Volver

Oconnor's song 'Correr y No Volver' delves into the tumultuous emotions of a person trapped in a toxic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a partner who is described as 'savage,' causing the protagonist to feel the need to discard their emotional baggage. This relationship is so overwhelming that it leads the protagonist to question their own sanity and desire to escape. The repeated urge to 'run and not return' signifies a desperate need for liberation from the suffocating influence of their partner.

The song's chorus highlights the internal conflict faced by the protagonist. They are trying to understand their feelings and the reasons behind their urge to flee. The phrase 'ganas de correr' (desire to run) is a powerful metaphor for the instinctive need to break free from a harmful situation. The protagonist's mind is 'alucinada' (hallucinated), indicating a state of confusion and disorientation caused by the relationship. This mental turmoil is further emphasized by the desire to 'not return to drink everything you have offered,' suggesting that the partner's influence is intoxicating and detrimental.

'Correr y No Volver' also touches on the unpredictability of life and relationships. The line 'La vida muestra que hay pasajes que son insospechables' (Life shows that there are passages that are unsuspected) reflects the unexpected nature of meeting someone who can have such a profound and negative impact. The protagonist realizes that their partner has come into their life to 'idiotizarme' (make me an idiot), further highlighting the manipulative and damaging nature of the relationship. Ultimately, the song is a powerful expression of the struggle to reclaim one's freedom and sanity from a toxic influence.
