A Veces

Tornillo's song 'A Veces' delves deep into the emotional turmoil that follows the end of a significant relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of longing and regret, as the narrator grapples with the sudden departure of a loved one. The repeated refrain, 'A veces quisiera buscarte, poder abrazarte, pero te fuiste y ya no regresaste,' underscores the persistent desire to reconnect and the painful reality of their absence. This refrain captures the essence of the song, highlighting the internal conflict between wanting to reach out and the acceptance that the person is gone for good.

The song explores themes of self-doubt and introspection, as the narrator questions why their partner left and whether they were at fault. Lines like 'Que te fuiste con alguien mejor que yo' and 'Que todo terminó porque mi amor te aburrió' reveal a deep sense of inadequacy and self-blame. The narrator's friends notice the change in him, indicating that the breakup has had a profound impact on his well-being. The imagery of looking at old photos and reminiscing about past promises adds a layer of nostalgia and sorrow, emphasizing the depth of the lost connection.

Tornillo also touches on the difficulty of moving on, as the narrator struggles with the idea of seeking closure. The lyrics 'Quiero salir a buscarte en cualquier lugar, pero mi mente dice que ya no podemos más' reflect the internal battle between the heart's desire to find the lost love and the mind's recognition of the futility in doing so. The song's emotional climax is reached when the narrator questions why their partner left so abruptly and without explanation, likening their departure to a criminal act. This comparison highlights the sense of betrayal and unresolved pain that lingers long after the relationship has ended.
