Tanto Que Sentir

Alejandro Filio's song 'Tanto Que Sentir' delves into the complexities of love, regret, and the passage of time. The lyrics open with an apology for not knocking on the door, symbolizing a lack of communication or missed opportunities in a relationship. Filio's poetic language suggests that both parties were once in sync, always calling out to each other, but now find themselves isolated and waiting alone. This sense of separation is further emphasized by the imagery of light passing through the room, highlighting the emptiness and the absence of the passion that once filled their lives.

The chorus, 'Qué te puedo pedir, que no dé yo / Hay tanto que sentir y hacer canción,' reflects a deep introspection. Filio acknowledges that he cannot ask for anything he himself is not willing to give, underscoring the mutual effort required in a relationship. The phrase 'hay tanto que sentir y hacer canción' suggests that there is a wealth of emotions to be experienced and expressed through music, hinting at the therapeutic and cathartic role that songwriting plays in processing these feelings.

In the second verse, Filio continues to apologize, this time for not being present and for breaking a metaphorical mirror. The mirror could represent self-reflection or the way they see each other, indicating that their perceptions have been shattered over time. The mention of 'two stars turning into a thousand' and the night taking over with its voices suggests a sense of overwhelming emotions and thoughts that have taken control. The night, often a symbol of introspection and solitude, has become a space where Filio is consumed by his feelings, further illustrating the depth of his regret and longing.
