The lyrics 'Yo sé cómo esto va a acabar, baby' and 'Dime cuánto esto te va a tomar' suggest a premonition about the relationship's inevitable progression and a readiness to dive into the experience without hesitation. This sense of inevitability and spontaneity is echoed throughout the song, emphasizing the transient nature of the moment and the importance of living it fully.

The interplay of languages and cultural references, like the mention of 'criminal' activities metaphorically representing their irresistible pull towards each other, enriches the narrative, making 'la luz (Fín)' a compelling ode to passionate, fleeting encounters.
