Si tu me faltas

Jerry Rivera's song 'Si tu me faltas' delves into the profound emotional dependency one can develop in a romantic relationship. The lyrics express a deep sense of addiction to the partner's presence, touch, and affection. Rivera admits that he has become so accustomed to his lover's caricias y besos (caresses and kisses) that he feels he cannot live without them. This dependency is so intense that he likens himself to a zombie when his partner is not around, emphasizing the emptiness and lifelessness he experiences in their absence.

The chorus of the song repeatedly questions what would happen if his lover were to leave. Rivera wonders who could possibly replace the light in his partner's eyes and where he could find a love equal to the one he currently enjoys. This highlights the irreplaceable nature of his partner's love and the unique connection they share. The fear of losing this love is palpable, and Rivera's lyrics convey a sense of desperation and helplessness at the thought of being without his partner.

The song also touches on the idea of excess in love. Rivera acknowledges that his feelings might be excessive, but he cannot help but feel imprisoned by his love for his partner. This metaphor of being a prisoner to love suggests a lack of control over his emotions and a deep-seated fear of abandonment. The repetition of the phrase 'si tu me faltas' (if you are missing) throughout the song reinforces the central theme of dependency and the anxiety that comes with the potential loss of a loved one. Jerry Rivera's emotive delivery and the poignant lyrics make 'Si tu me faltas' a powerful exploration of love, dependency, and the fear of loss.
