Desconocidos (feat. Micro TDH)

The Tug of Undefined Love in 'Desconocidos'
The song 'Desconocidos' by Alan Wittels, featuring Micro TDH, delves into the complexities of a relationship that is more than friendship but not quite defined as a romantic partnership. The lyrics express the singer's confusion and desire for clarity regarding their relationship with the subject of the song. The singer is caught in a limbo, experiencing feelings that go beyond mere friendship, indicated by the tension felt when they meet and the yearning to be with the person. The repeated question, 'Why is there tension when we see each other?' highlights the singer's internal struggle to understand the nature of their connection.
The chorus of the song, 'Desconocidos,' which translates to 'Strangers,' suggests that both individuals have lost something in their undefined relationship. They are urged not to fight against destiny, implying that there might be a predestined path for their relationship that they are resisting. The singer's plea to God to protect their love and keep them on the right path indicates a deep emotional investment and a desire for divine guidance in navigating their feelings. The repetition of 'Solo contigo' (Only with you) emphasizes the singer's focus on this particular person as the source of their emotional turmoil and longing.
The song also touches on the theme of vulnerability and the willingness to change for the sake of love. Despite not having learned to love, the singer is willing to try for the sake of the person they care about. This sentiment is captured in the lines 'Y aunque yo no he aprendido a amar / Por ti lo puedo intentar' (And although I have not learned to love / For you, I can try). The mention of different cities and hotels suggests a distance between them, either physical or emotional, that adds to the complexity of their situation. Overall, 'Desconocidos' is a poignant exploration of the gray area between friendship and romance, where emotions are intense but labels are elusive.
