Después

In 'Después,' Okills delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship, capturing the emotional highs and lows that come with it. The song begins with a reflection on a night of intimacy, where the connection felt profound and all-encompassing. However, this intense moment is fleeting, and the singer quickly realizes the transient nature of their bond. The lyrics, 'Y luego de esa noche, fuiste mía / Y luego de ese día, fuiste noche,' poetically illustrate the shift from closeness to distance, from day to night, symbolizing the ephemeral nature of their love.

The chorus, 'Llévame hasta el cielo / Pero bájame después / Que mejor estoy en suelo,' serves as a metaphor for the emotional rollercoaster of the relationship. The singer yearns for the euphoria of being 'taken to the sky' but acknowledges the need to return to the ground, to reality. This push and pull reflect a desire for stability and a recognition that the highs are unsustainable. The repetition of 'y después, y después, y después' emphasizes the cyclical pattern of their relationship, where they keep starting over despite knowing the outcome.

In the second verse, the singer expresses a desire to avoid dwelling on the past, 'Evito los recuerdos, de ese día / Dejarlo en tu memoria, no en la mía.' This line highlights the struggle to move on and the difficulty of letting go of memories that are both cherished and painful. The song encapsulates the bittersweet nature of love, where moments of joy are intertwined with inevitable heartache. Okills' musical style, blending rock and pop with Latin influences, adds an energetic yet melancholic tone to the song, perfectly complementing its lyrical themes.
