Aparentemente

Alejandra Ávalos' song 'Aparentemente' delves into the complexities of a relationship that has lost its spark. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people who were once deeply connected, almost magnetically drawn to each other. They were passionate and intuitive, living in the moment and giving themselves fully to the relationship. However, as time passed, they realized that their love was more about the idea of being in love rather than a deep, enduring connection.

The song transitions from the initial stages of infatuation to a more somber realization. The couple, once dreamers, now find themselves as strangers who come and go. They believed that love was simply about being together, but now they face the harsh reality that their relationship lacks true substance. The repeated phrase 'Aparentemente' (apparently) underscores the facade they maintain, pretending to love each other as they did before, even though the love has faded. The use of words like 'elegantemente' (elegantly) and 'evidentemente' (evidently) highlights their sophisticated yet futile attempts to avoid saying goodbye.

The imagery of being 'like two shadows on a wall' and 'promises of something that never was' further emphasizes the emptiness of their current state. They are physically together but emotionally distant, touching without truly connecting. The song poignantly captures the essence of a relationship that has become a mere illusion of its former self. The repeated lines in the chorus drive home the inevitability of their situation: despite their efforts to maintain appearances, there is no love left.
