SONG MEANING
In De Cero, Colombian band Morat sings about that awkward limbo after a breakup when both people know they are better apart yet secretly hope for a sequel. The narrator admits that they once hurt each other and now only feel "allowed" to talk on birthdays, but deep inside they believe their shared history is an unbeatable advantage. Why start over with someone new when you already speak your ex’s love language? He proudly calls himself an "expert" at reading her moods—he knows the perfect moment for a kiss or when to swap it for a hug.
The song’s bittersweet charm lies in its mix of realism and optimism. Morat recognizes that moving on is healthy, but also confesses a wish: if they ever cross paths again, they will not have to begin "from zero." The only real fear is being forgotten. Until then, the singer keeps faith that love—and perhaps a little help from the heavens—will grant them another chance to pick up right where the last chorus faded out.
