Mía

Chiara Oliver's song 'Mía' is a poignant reflection on personal growth, healing, and the journey towards self-ownership. The lyrics convey a narrative of overcoming past pain and learning to forgive oneself, which is a universal theme that resonates with many listeners. The song's title, 'Mía,' which translates to 'Mine' in English, suggests a reclaiming of the self, an affirmation of one's identity and worth that is independent of others.

The verses of 'Mía' describe a transformation from a time when the artist was hurt by her reflection and sought protection in another person, to a present where she acknowledges her past but is no longer bound by it. The imagery of 'fuego apagado' (extinguished fire) and 'cenizas verde-gris' (green-gray ashes) symbolizes the remnants of a past that has been put out, allowing for new growth. The recurring 'mhhh' sounds may represent contemplation or the internal struggle that accompanies self-reflection and healing.

The chorus emphasizes the idea that even on days when memories and old wounds resurface, the artist recognizes her strength and self-worth. The lyrics 'Y que si no fuera por mí ¿por quién sería?' (And if not for me, for whom would it be?) highlight the importance of self-reliance and being one's own friend. 'Mía' is not just a song about overcoming adversity; it's an anthem for anyone who has struggled to find their sense of self and has learned the hard-won ability to love and accept themselves.
