Tarde

Simon Grossmann's song 'Tarde' delves into the emotional aftermath of a relationship that has run its course. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has faded, capturing the sense of finality and the realization that the connection once shared is no longer alive. The opening lines, 'De repente desperté, hace calor quiero estar a solas,' suggest a moment of awakening and a desire for solitude, indicating a shift in the narrator's emotional state. The mention of the book and the plea not to damage its pages symbolizes the importance of preserving memories and personal boundaries, even as the relationship ends.

The chorus, 'Lo que es mío yo lo quiero y si lo tienes me lo vas a devolver, Lo que es tuyo no lo quiero y si lo quieres pues venlo a recoger,' emphasizes the need for closure and the return of personal belongings. This exchange of possessions serves as a metaphor for the emotional disentanglement that follows a breakup. The repeated line, 'Se nos hizo tarde, Ya mi amor no arde,' poignantly captures the essence of the song: the realization that it is too late to salvage the relationship and that the love that once burned brightly has now extinguished.

Grossmann's lyrics also touch on the broader cultural context, with lines like 'ser mala onda está de moda,' hinting at a societal trend of detachment and emotional coldness. The song's melancholic tone and reflective nature invite listeners to contemplate their own experiences with love and loss. The final verses, 'Cuando vienes de salida por la puerta se van a querer meter, Ya no hay señales de vida, desconecta que no lo van a prender,' further underscore the sense of finality and the need to move on, as the narrator acknowledges that there is no hope of rekindling the past.
