Song Meaning of “Se Me Olvido” by Alex D’Castro
“Se Me Olvido” by Alex D’ Castro speaks of the journey of a soul that has been forgotten by the one he loved. He sings of a tear that falls, and the pain of being alone in the night. He expresses his longing to be remembered, and the emptiness of being forgotten. He questions why his love was no longer enough, and laments the silence of the night.
The lyrics allude to an unspoken understanding between two people, at least in the memories of Alex D’ Castro. He revisit the past to make sense of the moment, singing “Cuanto paso, para el destino terminar… Se me olvido”. In this section he reflects on the unpredictable nature of fate, and alludes to how fragile and quickly love can pass.
The chorus sings of his broken spirit, “Me rompí por dentro para que vuelvas a mi” which translates to, “I broke inside so that you could return to me.” This speaks of an immense longing to be remembered, and the power of love that could give him life again.
The final verse speaks of hope, and the wish that he will be remembered again as the time passes. He sings “siento que al fin volviste a mi, y la esperanza hizo despertar mi vida” which translates to “I feel you have returned to me, and hope woke up my life.
