¿Cómo Pasó? (part. Morat)
Ela Taubert
The Fragility of Love and Unfulfilled Promises
Ela Taubert's song "¿Cómo Pasó?" featuring Morat delves into the complexities and fragility of romantic relationships. The lyrics explore the bewildering transition from a passionate beginning to an unexpected end. The song opens with a reflection on how quickly and deeply two people can fall in love, only to question why such a seemingly perfect relationship didn't last. This juxtaposition of intense emotions and sudden separation highlights the unpredictable nature of love.
The recurring question "¿Por qué es más fácil siempre terminar que comenzar?" ("Why is it always easier to end than to begin?") serves as the song's central theme. It reflects the common human experience of finding it easier to walk away from challenges rather than face them. The lyrics express a longing for understanding why people often choose to end relationships instead of giving them a chance to grow. This sentiment resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of a breakup and the frustration of unfulfilled promises.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of imbalance in the relationship, with one person giving everything while the other gives nothing. This imbalance is poignantly captured in the lines "Yo dándolo todo y tú, nada" ("I gave everything and you, nothing"). The song captures the heartache of investing in a relationship that ultimately leaves one feeling empty and questioning the true nature of love. The collaboration with Morat adds a layer of emotional depth, as their harmonious voices amplify the song's themes of love, loss, and the search for closure.
