Respuesta Cero (part. Bluefire)

Quevedo's song 'Respuesta Cero,' featuring Bluefire, delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that has ended, but where feelings still linger. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of regret, self-awareness, and the struggle to move on. The phrase 'mejor prevenir que curar' (better to prevent than to cure) sets the tone, suggesting that the protagonist chose to end the relationship to avoid causing more harm. This decision, however, is fraught with emotional complexity, as he admits to still having feelings and fears about not being able to stop himself from making mistakes.

The recurring line 'quien nace perro muere perro' (once a dog, always a dog) is a metaphor for the protagonist's belief that he cannot change his flawed nature. Despite his efforts to be sincere and honest, he acknowledges his shortcomings and the inevitability of his actions. This self-awareness is both a curse and a form of redemption, as he tries to justify his decision to leave by claiming it was for the greater good. The imagery of tears shed in the bathroom and memories turning into those of a stranger underscores the pain and isolation that come with such a decision.

The song also touches on the theme of unrequited efforts to reconnect. The protagonist continues to call and search for his former lover, only to be met with 'respuesta cero' (zero response). This lack of reciprocation highlights the finality of the breakup and the futility of his attempts to mend what is broken. The mention of social media, where the ex-lover posts stories to provoke a reaction, adds a modern twist to the age-old tale of heartbreak. Ultimately, 'Respuesta Cero' is a poignant exploration of love, regret, and the harsh reality of knowing that some things, and some people, never change.
