Que va a ser de mi

Pastora Soler's song 'Que va a ser de mi' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and uncertainty that follows a sudden breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has ended abruptly, leaving the protagonist grappling with feelings of abandonment and confusion. The song begins with the partner announcing the end of their relationship, citing routine and a sense of being lost as reasons. This sudden departure leaves the protagonist in a state of shock, unable to comprehend the swift change from happiness to despair.

The chorus of the song poignantly captures the protagonist's sense of loss and bewilderment. The repeated question, 'Qué va a ser de mí' (What will become of me), underscores the depth of her uncertainty and fear about the future. The imagery of tears bittering her coffee and her life sinking in a second powerfully conveys the immediate impact of the breakup. The protagonist is left to face the daunting task of moving on, despite feeling the lingering presence of her former partner in their shared spaces.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's struggle becomes more palpable. She feels isolated even in a crowd, haunted by the voice of her ex-partner. The internal conflict is evident as she battles the urge to scream and break the silence, cursing the day she met her partner. The lyrics reflect a profound sense of disorientation, with her steps aimlessly wandering, symbolizing her lost sense of direction in life. The song's emotional intensity is heightened by the protagonist's acknowledgment that denying her love for her ex-partner would be absurd, further complicating her path to healing.
