00:00I personally felt very connected towards my dad through the song, so I feel like that's
00:05more special to me, even more so than if I wrote it towards my dad, that the feeling
00:11is so special and so real that it just literally reminds me of him, you know?
00:23There was actually no initial inspiration for this song, and Morfina actually just was
00:29a pure feeling that was poured into that studio.
00:59Well, this first part is literally me realizing how love is limitless, you know, and that
01:20there is much more to look for and much more mirrors to look yourself at.
01:25It's kind of like a perfect introductory verse because it gives that openness into how a
01:31feeling made you fly, a feeling made you open your wings, literally.
01:55Morphine numbs the pain as love does, as pure love does.
02:00I mean, there's always this other side in which, of course, love has to burn a little bit,
02:07but I feel like there's more to the other side than to that side.
02:11I feel like it was a perfect metaphor for this because it's amazing how insecurities and how
02:18self-doubt can literally go away when you speak to your dad or to someone you love, you know?
02:48So, in that verse, it's just letting you know how timeless love is, how timeless my love is, even in
03:03sickness, even when my head won't think, even when my heart won't beat, I will still be here.
03:09This verse, it literally says I want to be buried with you.
03:39Under the tree, we plant it together and let the roots connect us, you know?
03:46It's giving longevity to the relationship.
03:48It's giving longevity to whatever happened between two people or between anyone.
03:55It's giving it time to grow as a tree, you know?
03:58That's why it's so special to me because even under the ground, even under the dirt,
04:02love can unite as well as in that lyric.
04:05And we accept our final.
04:08Nothing bad.
04:10At your side.
04:11Sent to us.
04:13Exist to us.
04:14Ensure us.
04:16Love us so much.
04:17It was nuclear.
04:19Coincide.
04:20We detonate.
04:23We don't worry.
04:25Nobody will stop us.
04:28We both.
04:29So this part starts like growing into the climax of the song, which is,
04:36even though there is an end to this, being with you makes it feel better.
04:43Like even on the worst case scenario, sharing it with you makes it feel better.
04:48So that's what that line represents.
04:50It just means on the best or in the worst,
04:52it's like it's all just going to be better around love.
05:22It's the description of how you feel around that person.
05:41It's how hugging that person, just the warmth, the temperature feels perfect for you.
05:47I don't know.
05:48This song matches so many life stages.
05:50Not even thinking about like the familiar part of the song,
05:53like my dad related part of the song.
05:56If I place it in my life in another segment, it also matches perfectly.
05:59It's just a song about love.
06:01You know, it's a pure love song.
06:17The ending, it's that part in which you've made pieces with the fact that you found the love.
06:39Just talk to me while it ends, you know, just be with me while it ends.
06:42That's what that last part is and it's right before the orchestra hits and it hits.
06:46So it's like the perfect outro for the song.
06:49This outro is actually my dad's voice.
06:52That's the voice that my dad sends me because I no longer live at home with him.
06:56It's him telling me he's bringing barbacoa to my mom.
06:59Normally he wouldn't tell me that because he would bring barbacoa to me as well.
07:02I would be waiting for him at home, but it was different and it made me very emotional.
07:08Like it was the cherry on top of the song because this is the third album of a trilogy.
07:12And the first album starts with my mom and this ends with my dad.
07:16So it's kind of a full circle moment as well, you know.
07:20I feel like there's no way you don't identify yourself with any part of the video
07:25because there's so many segments in which maybe you don't match perfectly with this,
07:30but you will match perfectly with another part of it.
07:32Because it has so many experiences all in one single plano.
07:38I don't know how to frame.
07:39Yeah.
