Rosalía’s Message to Rauw Alejandro in ‘Omega’

The singer recently revealed the meaning behind her new song. Rosalía and Ralphei Choo’s collaboration Omega has generated a lot of speculation among fans, especially in relation to Rosalía’s personal life. The song, with its title referencing the last letter of the Greek alphabet, could symbolize an ending or culmination. This has led some to wonder if the song addresses the end of a stage in Rosalía’s life, possibly her relationship with Rauw Alejandro.

The lyrics of Omega are filled with symbolism that could be interpreted in various ways. Some verses seem to talk about a love that has come to an end, while others suggest a transformation or rebirth. This ambiguity has allowed listeners to project their own interpretations and emotions onto the song.

“OMEGA is permission, it’s giving yourself permission and allowing yourself to feel something or someone, it’s going all the way, omega is the end and freedom, it’s the celebration of desire, that desire that takes you to a place you don’t want to leave, it’s the firmness with which one loves and the boldness or daring with which one abandons everything else in the decision to stay, it’s the wind brushing your hair on the curves and the shine in your eyes that appears when you don’t want to be anywhere else but there. Thank you to Ralphie and to all of you for sharing this with me, my birthday gift is being able to make music and knowing there’s someone on the other side feeling it. With love, Rosi,” the artist wrote on her social media.

In the context of her relationship with Rauw Alejandro, Omega could be seen as a reflection on the ups and downs of their romance. In fact, the music video itself shows the singer on a rollercoaster, which could be a metaphor for this.

“You and I lost among poppies / Your eyes shine, they’re two pistols / The tongues embrace, they’re no longer alone / In memory, you’ve shot me,” the artist sings in the song’s introduction. These words could refer to how attraction turns into entrapment and, in some way, pain.

Rosalía and Rauw have been a very public couple, and any change in their relationship tends to attract a lot of attention. The song could be a way for Rosalía to process and express her feelings about their relationship, whether it’s ending or evolving into a new phase.

The central line of the song seems to be: “I’ve gotten sentimental, before making you finish,” a phrase Rosalía repeats throughout the song and seems to be related to the melancholy and eroticism of an intimate relationship. Here, the singer shows vulnerability in a space as meaningful as sex.

In short, the Catalan artist touches on several themes: memory, nostalgia, symbolism, attraction, but above all, the end. An end that has so far been linked to Rauw, but also to Jeremy Allen White after a recent image surfaced of the actor kissing The Bear co-star Molly Gordon.

Additionally, both Alejandro and White share a connection to the poppy, the flower mentioned in Omega. It’s a symbol they both wore while attending galas during their relationship with Rosalía.

It’s important to remember that the interpretation of a song is subjective and can vary from person to person. What’s clear is that Omega has resonated deeply with many listeners, who find in its lyrics and melodies a reflection of their own experiences and emotions.
