Carne y Hueso

TINI's song 'Carne y Hueso' is a poignant expression of the pain and longing that comes with unrequited love. The title, which translates to 'Flesh and Bone,' underscores the raw, human emotion that TINI conveys through her lyrics. The song begins with a wish to forget a past lover and the admission that if it were possible to stop loving them, she would. However, the repeated line 'Pero solo soy de carne y hueso' ('But I am only flesh and bone') serves as a reminder of her vulnerability and inability to simply turn off her feelings.

The lyrics delve into the agony of seeing a former partner move on, giving their affection to someone else. TINI describes the emotional turmoil of trying to appear strong while internally struggling with the remnants of a love that still lingers. The song captures the essence of trying to heal from a deep emotional wound, acknowledging the difficulty of moving on when love was genuine and profound. The haunting refrain about dying for a kiss that is no longer hers emphasizes the depth of her attachment and the pain of loss.

Towards the end of the song, there is a shift towards self-empowerment and healing. TINI resolves that this will be the last time she yearns for a kiss that isn't meant for her. She asserts that she will love herself, indicating a journey towards self-love and recovery. The song ends on a note of acceptance and the determination to not return to a love that has caused so much pain, signaling a poignant end to a chapter of heartache.
