Angustiado translates to "distressed" or "anguished." It's a strong emotional word that conveys a deep sense of suffering or anxiety, going beyond simple sadness.
In "Como Olvidarme," the singer repeatedly uses this word to describe his state after losing a loved one. He sings, "Despierto angustiado y todo ha terminado" (I wake up distressed and everything has ended), perfectly capturing the profound grief and emotional turmoil he experiences. This word encapsulates the raw pain at the heart of the song.
"Como Olvidarme" is about losing someone and not being able to let go. The narrator remembers the day this person died in silence, and the last kiss they shared, not knowing if it was even felt. He talks about going to church looking for comfort and finding none, and about bringing flowers to a cemetery, still struggling to accept that it's real.
The chorus is a memory that keeps replaying: the person's last "I love you," said as if they already knew what was coming. Every time the narrator falls asleep and dreams of seeing them smile again, he wakes up anguished, remembering it's over. The song is a raw look at grief, holding onto one last promise and a memory that refuses to fade.
