Para Bien o Para Mal
Carlos Mateos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sigue adelante mi vida pero ya todo es distinto
ni te añoro ni te anhelo ni la herida es la que era
ya ni sufro ni te quiero a pesar de que me duela
ahora que ya supere el gris de la soledad
es curioso que parezca que me vienes a buscar
que cosas tiene la vida con el tiempo que te di
imagino que sabras lo que te voy a decir
y en el alma me guarde la ultima oportunidad
supongo que paso el tren cuando tuvo que pasar
y hace tiempo que se fue
para mal o para bien para bien o para mal
por si acaso estas pensando lo que me dicen tus ojos
ni si quiera se te ocurra que me brindo a tus antojos
tuve que hacerme muy fuerte
y aprender de la experiencia
y llorar solo lo justo a pesar de la apariencia
no guardo rencor alguno ni mido las distancias
lo que paso ya es pasado
y hay que quitarle importancia
y no mires asi mira que nos conocemos
que me costo demasiado borrar todos tus recuerdos
supongo que te olvide solo por necesidad
y en el alma me guarde la ultima oportunidad
supongo que paso el tren cuando tuvo que pasar
y hace tiempo que se fue
para mal o para bien para bien o para mal
The lyrics of "Para Bien o para Mal" by Carlos Mateos talk about moving on from a past relationship, and the emotional struggle that comes along with it. The singer starts by saying that their life has changed, and they don't long for their former partner anymore, but despite the healing, the pain of the breakup still lingers. They express surprise that their ex has come back into their life after they have moved on. In the second verse, the singer warns their ex that they won't fall for their charm again, and that they had to become strong and learn from their experience. The singer doesn't hold any grudges, but they admit that it was difficult to forget their past memories.
The song's theme is about letting go of the past, and accepting the lessons that come along with it. It describes the struggle of moving on from a past relationship, and the emotions that linger even after you've healed. The song's tone is reflective, melancholic, and slightly bitter, but it also has a sense of liberation and acceptance.
