Abrí los Ojos is a poetic cry that mixes suspense-movie vibes with raw heartbreak. The Spanish band Maldita Nerea paints the scene like a surreal film: it is Friday the 13th, a lifeless silence sits on the sofa, and April shows up in a new costume. From the very first line we know something is off, yet intriguing. The singer swims between ser and estar, between existing and merely being present, desperately looking for someone who has already left the room — and his life.
What follows is an emotional autopsy. He opens his eyes, hoping to find his partner, but faces only a cold wall and “some centuries” of loneliness ahead. The lyrics bounce between acceptance and denial: “I do not die in the attempt, but I end up wounded.” Every chorus underlines the same revelation: there are no tears, no mysteries, just the brutal certainty that nothing will be the same. In short, the song captures that exact moment when love dies, clarity hits, and the only thing left to do is stare at the emptiness and learn to breathe again.
