Eterno

Vanesa Martín's song 'Eterno' delves into the painful and gradual dissolution of a romantic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has grown cold, symbolized by the line 'Se nos enfrió la cama' (Our bed grew cold). This metaphor sets the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting the emotional distance that has developed between the two partners. The singer reflects on how they have drifted apart, with one sleeping outside the bed, indicating a physical and emotional separation.

The song continues to explore the theme of lost love through the imagery of a 'funeral of kisses,' suggesting that the affection and passion that once existed have died. The repeated lines 'Cómo no me di ni cuenta' (How did I not realize) and 'Cómo perdimos el tiempo' (How did we waste time) express a sense of regret and bewilderment at how the relationship deteriorated without either partner noticing. This introspection is coupled with a feeling of being dried up inside, as the singer laments the emotional toll the breakup has taken.

Vanesa Martín also touches on societal expectations and the pressure to maintain appearances. The line 'Que van a pensar ahora los que nos daban de por hecho' (What will people think now, those who took us for granted) reveals the concern about how others perceive the end of their relationship. Despite the pain and confusion, there is a sense of inevitability and acceptance, as the singer acknowledges that 'Eterno siempre vuelves' (Eternal, you always return), suggesting that the memories and emotions tied to the relationship will linger indefinitely. The song captures the complexity of love and loss, blending personal reflection with broader social commentary.
