Celos

In 'Celos,' Alex Sirvent delves deep into the emotional turmoil caused by jealousy. The song's lyrics vividly describe the protagonist's anguish as he observes his partner's interactions with another man. The way the other man looks at his partner is described as a 'lanza en mis entrañas' (a spear in my entrails), a powerful metaphor that conveys the intense pain and vulnerability he feels. This imagery sets the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting the destructive nature of jealousy.

The lyrics also explore the silent communication between the partner and the other man, suggesting a deep connection that doesn't require words. This silent bond is portrayed as a 'universo donde bailan a escondidas' (a universe where they dance in hiding), emphasizing the protagonist's sense of exclusion and helplessness. The repeated references to 'celos' (jealousy) and 'miedo' (fear) underscore the protagonist's anxiety about losing his partner and the overwhelming power of these emotions.

Sirvent's portrayal of jealousy is not just about the fear of losing a loved one but also about the internal struggle to overcome these feelings. The protagonist repeatedly asks how he can 'arranco este sentimiento' (tear out this feeling) and 'defiendo de este cruel tormento' (defend against this cruel torment), indicating a desperate desire to rid himself of the jealousy that consumes him. The song captures the essence of jealousy as a destructive force that can infiltrate one's mind and body, making it a relatable and poignant exploration of human emotions.
