Soy Lo Que Ves

In 'Soy Lo Que Ves,' Alfredo Olivas delves into the complexities of love and the raw honesty that often accompanies it. The song's lyrics reveal a relationship marked by unspoken words and unfulfilled desires. Olivas begins by acknowledging the limitations of communication, stating, 'Puedes oír, pero no me puedes hablar' (You can hear, but you can't talk to me). This sets the tone for a narrative where emotional barriers and unreciprocated feelings are central themes.

The chorus emphasizes the singer's commitment to truth, even at the risk of losing the person he cares about: 'Es mi religión la verdad, sé que te puedo perder por exceso de sinceridad' (Truth is my religion, I know I can lose you for being too honest). This line underscores the internal conflict between wanting to be genuine and fearing the consequences of such honesty. The song also touches on the idea of freedom and the constraints that come with love, as Olivas sings, 'Quisiera tener pleno goce de libertad' (I wish I could fully enjoy freedom).

The recurring advice to 'piénsatela dos veces' (think twice) serves as a cautionary note, suggesting that love is a risky endeavor. The singer is willing to take this risk, even if it means enduring emotional torment: 'Yo también muero lento, por querer y no poder' (I also die slowly, for wanting and not being able). This poignant admission captures the essence of the song—a heartfelt exploration of the pain and beauty of unrequited love, where both parties are trapped in a cycle of longing and restraint.
